Questions
Can members download the draft report?
Not with View only. They read it in the browser, and their access ends on the date you set.
What does recall do?
It removes a message you've sent from recipients who haven't opened it yet. Once a message has been read, recall can't take it back.
Are submissions anonymous?
No. A submission link records each sender's IP address and approximate location, which the secretariat can see.
Can access end automatically after tabling?
Yes. Set an expiry date when you share, such as the tabling date, and access ends on its own.
Where is the material stored?
DekkoCORE is hosted in-country, in Australia, the United States or Canada.
