 # Substitution-Requests
 
-System for CSE 102 staff to request subs.
+System for handling CSE 102 staff sub requests.
+
+The ULAs only ever interact with the Google form (https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfJzXo9-nKoIsOveLWelCe8Y47yryD3jPGPoYIxo8lhsZESeQ/viewform?usp=sf_link)
+
+This system downloads all of the forms, appends any new ones it hasn't seen yet (measured by timestamps) to its database, and pops up a GUI for selecting instructors' responses to each request.
+
+The system also provides graphical interfaces for various common forms of information retreival and for implementing manual changes.
+
+The system can also automatically send emails to the relevant person(s).
+
+The limitation of this system is that it doesn't run "in the background" it must be run on an instructor's PC and have the results pulled and pushed to/from Git each time.
