Turn on automatic submission

Automatic submission requires a lab email address that is registered with FarmQA. If you enter an email address that isn't registered, submissions will fail. See Automatic lab submission and results import for how the full round-trip works. Once results start arriving, you can confirm each import in Settings › Logging. See Check whether lab results imported.
