Invited Application Intake Forms

Invite an organization to submit an application in the grantee portal using an invited application intake form.

Invited application intake forms are used when inviting an organization to submit an application in the grantee portal. Once the form is built, it can be added to a request in your GivingData site and assigned to one or more grantee portal users for the organization. The assigned grantee portal users then log into the portal and submit the application form.

Add a new invited application intake form in Admin Tools & Settings. Once added, the form can be edited to build the fields that grantee portal users will complete.

   3. Intake Form Comments Enabled - If checked, grantee portal users have the option to add comments on the form. Staff can also respond to these comments, allowing for direct communication within the form.
