Hello again! We hope that you are feeling recharged for 2024 and are back into doing the important work that you do. Here are a number of improvements we have delivered over the past month to help.
✨ What's New ✨
Video Submissions Support
If you are wanting to allow your Applicants to express their idea or application through a Video submission, then this might be for you.
When setting up your Grants you are now able to specify a "Video Submission Field" from your Application form which is then presented to Assessors as a video player when they are assessing applications.
To make this possible we have also made a number of improvements to the file uploads to provide better feedback to Applicants when uploading larger files through the use of a progress bar.
Milestone Amounts from Deliverables Fields
Up until now milestone amounts have been fixed but if you are collecting milestones that have variable amounts supplied by the Applicant e.g. a list of expenses/consumables then you might not be able to determine the fixed amount up front.
We now allow you to select a set of field(s) from the Milestone Deliverables Template that determine the final Milestone amount, much like how Application Requested Amounts are determined. You will notice this selection ( How is the Milestone amount determined? ) when you are setting up your next Milestone Template, the selection defaults to the current behaviour you are used to.
You can still provide an estimated amount up front until the Applicant provides the final amount and the Milestones still go through the same approval process which allows you to vet the supplied amounts and request revisions if required.
Improved Table Tagging
Field Tags can now be applied to entire tables which provides the ability for tables to be used as personalisations in your Contract Templates before drafting. Until now Tables could only be used as personalisations within the Contract drafting process.
Additionally entire tables can now be marked as Conflict of Interest fields if you wish to incorporate a table field into your Conflict of Interest cover sheets.
Funding Decision Titles
You can now assign an optional title to your Funding Decision batches, which provides another level of identification for your Funding Decisions, this can be helpful if you are managing multiple batches in parallel or if you need to look up a historical Funding Decision for audit purposes.
And there you have it, we hope these new features make your life that little bit easier.
Until next time!
