A Submitter can access the RDR via a menu link on their Portal which will have been configured using existing Portal functionality. 

When a user clicks on the Submission menu, if only one Content and Record Type has been defined for RDR in this Portal, then they will be taken straight to the main RDR page.  However, if there is more than one Content and Record Type defined for this Portal, then they will be taken to the RDR page and the following Pop Up will be shown where the user can see some instructional text followed by two drop downs where they can choose the type of submission that they require.

It is also possible, if required, to create a link that automatically selects the correct Record and Content Types and creates a new submission for the user. This link can be embedded on a special or particular page on your website or user portal. This means that the user only needs to click on the link and the submission will be created for the correct Record and Content type without the need to manually select from the drop down menus.

By clicking on the two drop down menus the user is able to select the appropriate Content and Record types for their submission.

They can then click on the **Create** button to continue at which point the pop up will close and the RDR Metadata template will be shown.
