As a decider, you can access the decision module and assess grant requests there. You can access your decision module in one of two ways:

In the overview, the requests are divided into four statuses: Received, In review, Approved, and Rejected. For each grant request, you can see at a glance who submitted it (person or organization), for which project, the requested and total needed amount, the project duration, and the main request text. On the right-hand side, you'll find the message or task from your account’s administrators.

​

To manage and filter requests, a smart labelling system is used. Administrators and managers can assign labels. In the overview, you can filter by existing labels: click the three-line icon next to “Labels” and select the ones you wish to filter by.

This is how you filter by labels.
​

Requests are sorted by date by default, showing the newest first. If you prefer a different order, click on “Sort by...” and select your preferred option from the dropdown: by date (newest or oldest first), or alphabetically by title (A–Z or Z–A).

Here you can change the order of the grant requests.

Clicking on a grant request opens the detail view. Here, you see all the information submitted by the applicant. Depending on the application's structure, you will be shown details about the contact person, the organization, the project or initiative, and the specific questions from your funding organization.

In the Journal tab, you can view internal notes and – where available –recommendations from the secretariat to the board. In the Evaluations tab, you will find your colleagues’ assessments as soon as they have submitted them. This is the default setting. In the individualization module, available from Partner Plus onward, you can also configure the system so that decision-makers cannot see each other’s assessments.

The assessment module is also displayed on the right-hand side of the detailed view.

You can export each grant request as a PDF by clicking the export icon below the submission date. If the administrator has opened a private network for the request, you’ll also see a shortcut link next to the export icon.

At the top of the page, you’ll see how many requests are currently in that status. Use the arrows to navigate to the next request in the selected status.

This is what the detailed view of a grant request from an organization looks like.

As soon as you open the detail view, the assessment module appears on the right-hand side.
If no individual scoring system is activated (available from Partner Plus), you can choose between:

You may also write an optional comment.

To save your evaluation, click “Confirm” and acknowledge the submission. Once submitted, evaluations can no longer be edited.

Once your evaluation is saved, the request automatically moves from Received to In review, helping you keep track of which requests you’ve already assessed.
