    Polling

    Method 1

    Step 1:  Open up the Submissions Database by going to File > Accounts > CO.House Submissions and locate the set of accounts you want to update.
    Step 2: Click on the blue "Pending" hyperlink under the status column. This will then poll the accounts and the status will update from Pending to either "Accepted" or "Error".


    Method 2
    This method allows you to poll more than one set of accounts at a time.

    Step 1 Launch iXBRL Review and Tag by going to File > Accounts > iXBRL Review Tag
    Step 2 The following pop up message will appear:

    By clicking Yes, the system will poll all pending accounts that the user logged in has submitted to Companies House in one go. This saves the user from having to click the pending status on each set of accounts individually. It will not poll any submissions made by another user.
