CubeDrive allows customers to create manuscript workflows dynamically using drag and drop. Users can add custom fields, generate page layouts, and apply data filters to the manuscript. Customers use the form to process their daily business activities. Here are the basic requirements:

• All user actions must have historical records
• The main documents and supporting documents uploaded by the author need to be automatically merged into a PDF file.
• After the author uploads the documents and fills in the author/fund information, the system needs to provide a summary preview to confirm the submission.
• The associate editor can see each reviewer's comments, and the system needs to provide a way to merge all comments together before sending them to the author.
• The administrator has two options for reviewing the manuscript: unsubmit and checklist complete.
• The administrator and editor-in-chief can see the progress of all manuscripts, while the associate editor can see the progress of their assigned manuscripts.
• Email notification titles must include a manuscript ID, and users can click the link to process the manuscript action.
• After the administrator checks the manuscript and clicks checklist complete, the system sends an email notification to the editor-in-chief.
• The associate editor reviews the manuscript and invites reviewers to process the review.
• The associate editor receives all reviewer comments, summarizes them, and sends them to the author. The system sends an email to notify the author to resubmit the revision within four weeks. The modified version R1 will then start.
• The author submits completed revised manuscripts via the link. The system automatically generates a new version Rx.

Submission and Approval

---

Submission and approval are the main pages of the platform. The platform can set permissions for different users, including: author, editor-in-chief, associate editor, reviewers, managers and editorial board members, etc. Through page configuration, people with different permissions can access different data on the platform.

Author	Submit, revise, and resubmit; view manuscript status and progress; quickly connect and aggregate all submissions
Administrator	Review all cover letters and records, and manage all files associated with submitted manuscripts.
Editor-in-chief	Assign the associate editor to the selected manuscript and provide final comments based on the suggestions of the associate editor and/or reviewers.
Associate editor	The associate editor can invite reviewers and provide the final decision.
Reviewers	Process the review for the assigned manuscript.

The following list view and workflow can be modified by administrators using drag and drop. Manuscript data is transferred according to the workflow.

Author Submits the Manuscript

---

Authors can log into the system and submit manuscripts. Authors only have access to a portion of the manuscript's data (configured by the administrator). For example: Manuscript Title, Abstract, Attachments, etc., and some fields are read-only.

Administrators can define author access fields on the design page. Page layout settings let the business configure access fields as needed.
