System Program Requirement Communications
The system generated GC 61 and GC 62 automatically. I know these can be edited or disabled, but is there a way to edit the date they are sent out? I did not see an option for a send out date. We like to send reminders 2 weeks before the due date: GC61. And then about 1 week past due for GC 62. Anyone?
Does anyone send documents to be signed via Blackbaud?
I would like to use a agreement form created within Blackbaud for grantees to receive, sign and return. What has been your experience with this if your organization does this process? Has anyone used DocuSign? or what service have you used and been happy with?
Grantmaking and Budget API
Hi all! Has anyone successfully integrated an external budget/expenditure report template into Grantmaking? We are looking into creating a web-based budget form for our Grantees to fill out and have that information populate in Grantmaking. If anyone has experience with this, I'd love to hear it! Thanks!
