We have not been successful with the subcontractors (Who are technically the "issuers" of these submittals as well), knowing how to upload their own submittals to the system. As a result, I (the general contractor) am having the subs email me the submittal, then I am entering it into the system. That said, the system still makes me put in an issuer and subcontractor, so now I am having myself be the issuer, the subcontractor AND the General contractor...all before I issue it to the architect. Is there a way to not have to go through all these steps/not be required to have an issuer and subcontractor?
Also, After I review a submittal, theoretically it would be nice to have the architect be the next one to approve (and add his stamp), and then ONCE THE ARCHITECT has approved it, THEN it goes to the additional reviewers for their final review.....Or even vice versa, have it go to the (in this case) structural engineering firm Dunaway first, and once they review it, the architect (studio 8) gets the last/final say/approval before it comes back to me. Currently, it seems like just any one of them can approve it, and thus, the structural engineer might jump out and approve it before the architect even had a chance to look at it....or vice versa. Can this be fixed?

How has this not been addressed nearly 3 years later - this should have been how it functioned from day 1 of the program release
I agree, this is not the correct flow for most submittals. The review process needs to be split up into definite "who's ball in court is it". IE Subcontractor -> Contractor -> Engineer -> Architect. At EACH stage a notification is sent out and the ball in court shifts instead of it just hanging out there like it does right now.
