Inna, Unfortunately, this is not something that is configurable in out-of-the-box DSpace 1.4.1 (or previous versions).
However, there are still a few options you could take: 1) Someone out there may have some custom Java code that they added to the SubmitServlet.java class which will do just that (or, if you are Java savvy, or know someone else who is, you could probably make this change yourself with a little guidance) 2) The next version of DSpace (version 1.5) should include the Configurable Submission patch, which I built for UIUC. There's more info on the Wiki at: http://wiki.dspace.org/index.php/ConfigurableSubmissionSystem and it's downloadable from SourceForge at: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1532695&group_id=19984&atid=319984 Using this Configurable Submission patch, you could create a simple, custom, non-interactive step which just provides default values to those initial questions. We've actually done that here at UIUC (and I'll be very willing to share the code). I'll also be talking about it at Open Repositories at my "Configurable Submission in DSpace" presentation on Jan. 23rd. 3) The last option would be to install the Configurable Submission patch right away on your current version of DSpace. However, just be aware that if you do this, there's still a potential that there will be slight changes to the patch before it becomes part of DSpace 1.5 (I'm currently working on updating the patch to work with Manakin, which will require some changes). The patch is stable (we are using it in Production). But, because there still will be some changes, you may have to eventually uninstall it before you would upgrade to DSpace 1.5 I hope that helps a little. If you need a quick fix, maybe someone else out there has some immediate code changes (as mentioned in #1 above) that they can share which will tide you over until DSpace 1.5. - Tim Inna Klimbovskaia wrote: > Hi, > > I am trying to figure out a way to not display initial questions page > during new item submission.
