A request that is under consideration after being submitted will show the applicant a decision status of Undecided on the dashboard. You can set a delay time period after the decision date has passed to show whether the request has been approved or denied. You also have an option to show the amount awarded and installment information to applicants on their dashboard for any approved requests.
Show Decision Status
When a request has been submitted and is under consideration, the applicant will see the decision status of Undecided on their dashboard.
Once a request has been approved or denied, the applicable decision status will appear on the applicant’s dashboard after the preset delay time period has passed after the decision date.
- For example: If the decision status is set to a 15 day delay, an award approved on May 15 will appear as Undecided until May 30, at which time the decision status will update to Approved.
- If the award is denied, the status of Denied will appear and the request will move to the Historic Requests tab after the delay time period has passed.
- The delay can be set to 0 days, meaning the decision status will be visible on the decision date.
Change Delay Days
By default, the delay is set to 365 days, but it can be changed manually.
- Click the gear icon in the upper-right corner of the site to access your Site Settings page.
- Click the pencil icon next to the Show Decision Status setting.
- Edit the number of days, and then click OK.
Enable Award Details Link on Applicant Dashboard
Amount awarded and installment information can be shown to applicants on their dashboard for any approved requests. When enabled, the applicant will see a View Details link next to the approved request (once the delay period has passed from the decision date), which leads them to the installment and payment information.
The Enables Details link on Applicant Dashboard setting can be turned on or off.
- Click the gear icon in the upper-right corner of the site to access your Site Settings page.
- Click the pencil icon next to the Enables Details link on Applicant Dashboard setting.
