    Tracking Foundation Grants in RE

    We want to track submitted grants in RE and be able to report on what has not been submitted for a timeframe. What are others using to do this? Appeals, actions, or attributes? Would anyone be willing to share their process?

    Thanks,

    Tracking Foundation Grants in RE

    There is a prospect Module you can purchase that is the easiest way to handle this.

    My bosses did not want to spend the money so I created a way to do it through Actions ("task/other") and created a Crystal Report for it. I am not sure it's the ideal way to track it, but let me know if you want the details of how/what I did.

    We also are unable to spend money on any extra modules so I would love to hear how you use the "tasks/other" in actions. I should have added my e-mail [Email Removed] Thanks, Kathy [i]--- Edited at 12/4/2007 4:48:00 PM by Kathy Lindahl[/i]

    I would love to see what you have done.  We can't afford the prospect module and we are just getting started with RE.

    Hi Megan:

    Would you mind sharing with me, too?  Our Executive Director doesn't want to spend the money on an addition Module, so I'm trying to determine the best way to track grants.

    Thanks!

    Re: Tracking Foundation Grants in RE

     We have just done this with great success without using prosepct edge:-

     I can check more on what is exactly being done here as I am not leading on this just advising on the use of RE as I am the oldest user here.

    Basically most grants from trusts are being set up as Pledges, this allows past due dates to be reported on, also Actions are very much used to remind the right people of certain deadlines, actions can also have follow up actions or actions triggered by another being complete.

     Most actions need to be set to your needs, please mail back if I can advise further.

    Hi Megan:  We have exactly the same question, and even at my RE training earlier this month, the topic wasn't addressed adequately.  We'd love the details on know how you created a way to do this through Actions and created a crystal report.  Would you be willing to share this with me?
