Forms integrated with DocuSign

If your form is used to launch to Docusign workflows, you may request additional support for that feature by contacting the IT Service Center at oithelp@colorado.edu or 303-735-4357. 

Things that won鈥檛 work during review (but will work once launched)

Some functions will only work when your site is live on a colorado.edu URL. The following features won't function correctly while you're reviewing the site in the sandbox environment (pantheon.io URL):

  1. Chat Widgets:

    • Chat widgets will not display on your migrated site until the site is launched. These widgets only function on a colorado.edu URL, so expect them to be inactive in the sandbox environment.
  2. Campus News Block:

    • The campus news block will not pull in CU 麻豆影院 Today articles while in the sandbox. This feature will work correctly once your site is live on a colorado.edu URL.
  3. Legacy Sandbox Links:

    • Web Express sites created before Spring 2022 may appear to have broken links in the sandbox environment. These links, starting with 鈥減1鈥 followed by numbers and letters, will result in a 404 error in the sandbox. They will function properly once your site is live on your colorado.edu URL.
  4. Webform Submissions:

    • Webform submissions will not be processed in the sandbox. Test submissions may not come through. Once the site is live on a colorado.edu URL, webform submissions will be processed correctly.
