Enable Envizi’s full suite of account-style data validation rules to trigger when data is manually captured in Surveys.

Add a 'Submit' button for when the Survey is completed

Currently the only options are 'Save' or 'Save and Continue'. Users find this confusing and are unsure how to move the Survey to 'Submitted' status. Adding a button will simplify and stream line the process and make it more user friendly. Thanks!
