# Submit results

Record the value and evidence in Slack, then verify the Observation.

Use the **To Do** message for the requested period. Clicking a task opens the collection form; a click alone does not save a numeric response.

## Open the form

Select the task's checkbox. A loading view may appear before the metric details. Check the name, period, goal and unit before entering anything. A completed response can reopen with its saved value and note.

## Enter value and evidence

Fill **Quantity**, add a **Note** when useful, and use **Evidence** to attach the requested files. Follow the requirement shown by the form. The current form accepts up to four images or PDFs, with a maximum of 5 MB each. On a reopened result, it states that previous evidence is retained.

*This capture shows an existing response reopened. Native Slack controls can follow personal language settings.*

## Save and verify

Choose **Save** once, then wait for the original message to update. A recorded response shows a checked, struck-through task with a time and an updated response count. Use **Cancel** to leave the form without saving changes.

*The completed message confirms collection. Older messages in the conversation are history, not errors from the displayed response.*

Open **Data → Observation → CEO - Reported results**. Find the same metric and period, then compare **Value**, **Unit Text** and **Collection Status**. Inspect **Evidence Files** in the record; a checked task alone is not a review of the evidence.

## If you cannot finish

If the form asks you to retry, wait a few seconds and click the task again. That feedback says no response was recorded by that attempt. If you are unsure whether Save succeeded, check CEO - Reported results before resubmitting. For Processing or Failed results, inspect Collection Error and ask the maintainer to review the failed stage.

A missing token or an expired Slack trigger does not justify switching to a different workspace's credentials. Maintainers should follow [Automations](/systems/kpis-okrs/automations).
