Terence Vinson states that the report was completed yet the submission failed. When reviewing his email messages, he states he noticed that he had not received a confirmation concerning the report. He states that he then logged into Leaders to discover the report was not submitted. He stated that he simply hit submit on the report, which then resulted in a successful submission. He stated that at times his computer and the Leaders system freezes, which may have caused the problem. In the future, he states he will be sure to look for and receive the email confirmation prior to assuming the report has been submitted successfully.
