Overview, Working with Grant Calendar/Schedule

The Grant Calendar lays your grants out by date so you can see what is coming instead of discovering it. Open it from Grant Management > Grant Calendar View.

The Grant Management menu open with Grant Calendar View highlighted

Grant Calendar View is the third item under Grants Receivable.

The grant calendar in month view with two grants plotted

A grant shows up on the day its chosen date falls.

Choose Which Date To Plot

This is the setting that makes the calendar useful, and it is the one people miss. At the top is a Plot grants by dropdown with five choices:

  • Submitted Date (the default)
  • Due Date
  • Report Due Date
  • Notification Date
  • Funding Date

Switch it depending on the question you are asking. Due Date to see what has to be written, Report Due Date to see what you owe funders, Funding Date to see when money should arrive.

A grant only appears if the date you picked is filled in on its record, so a sparse-looking calendar usually means missing dates rather than missing grants.

The Plot grants by dropdown open with its five date choices

Five dates to plot by. Submitted Date is what you get until you change it.

Move Around

  • Month gives you the calendar grid.
  • Agenda gives you a list, which is easier to scan when you just want the next things due.
  • Use the arrows to step between months, and Today to jump back to the current one.
