Capability to prevent a student from withdrawing their submission when in Ready to Deliver Status
Add a capability to prevent a student to from withdrawing their application when it is in the Ready For Delivery status. Allow only Administrators the capability to withdraw an application when in the Ready For Delivery Status. From our perspective when an application is at the Ready for Delivery Status the student is considered a current conferral candidate and should not be withdrawing their application at this status.

Change language of standing order from "library copy"
Not all standing orders go to the library, so this language can be confusing. Request to update the language to reflect "school" or "department" or something less specific.

Include replacement option for changed/deleted department names
If you change/delete a department name, all the submissions that had it end up with a blank department field. Having an option for all those submissions to either retain the old department info, or to get a new name that the user enters as free text (like "Old Department (Legacy)") would be great.

I LOVE having the ability to edit my own email templates! THANK YOU!
To make these new screens more user-friendly, I have some suggestions for updating language for merge fields that the end-user can include in their templates.
I have uploaded two image files that describe, in more detail, the request I have. Primarily, I want to request to distinguishing what exactly the merge fields are, and updating language slightly to more clearly define their intended use/output for the end-user.
For example:

Add filters to dashboard for programs.
It would be nice to be able to fiilter results in the ETD dashboard to view the impact of different programs. Allowing users to filter by "Degree Awarded" and "Department" would be a good way to do this.

Configure Administrative Document requirements by degree type
The Administrative Documents page is used to collect additional documents from students that are not directly related to the ETD submission process (e.g. Graduation exit surveys, approval forms, etc.). These documents can be made required or optional. However, some documents may be applicable to doctoral students but not masters, or vice-versa (e.g., Survey of Earned Doctorates).
Consider allowing an Administrative Document to be required for Masters students only or for Doctoral students only.

ETD Admin Reports - Report Management
As an ETD administrator, I would like to be able to save reports with a set of selections that I choose so that I can run this report again without having to re-create it. I would also like to be able to edit the report and save these updates, or save a modified report with a different name.
