Grant Manager Dashboard – Manage Applications and Review Applicant Data

By September 27, 2017March 11th, 2021Grant Management, Knowledge Base

After applicants have begun to access your grant opportunities, you can view their activity from the grant manager dashboard. This dashboard has two main sections: the status table and the list of applicant submissions. The status table allows you to get a quick bird’s eye view of how many applicants are in any status at a given time, as well as the ability to sort the list below by status. The list of submissions allows you to interact with the applicants’ data while managing where they are in the process.
