GOfund Custom Recommend a Grant Form

Prerequisites

1.      GOfund Administrator

This knowledge article will teach you how to add custom fields to the GOfund recommend a gran form.

Things to know:

1.      GOfund Recommend a Grant utilizes a hybrid form, meaning that any custom fields that you add to the form will be inserted into akoyaGO's out of the box fields on the form.

2.      The custom form for recommending a grant is separate from the custom form to recommend an interfund grant as we anticipate you may want different fields on each form.

Form Definition fields

 

Two new fields have been added to the Internal tab of GOfund Settings to capture the data from the custom grant recommendation form(s). These are the .json files which represents the custom form.

*Please note that if these fields contain data, the custom form will render on the GOfund recommend a grant page.*

Build your custom form

Step 1: GOfund Settings

Navigate to GOfund Settings in the Tools workspace. Then navigate to the recommend a grant form tab. There, at the bottom of the page, you will find the Recommend a Grant Form Editor and the Recommend an Interfund Grant Form Editor.

Step 2: Launch Form Editor

Regardless of which form editor you choose, the experience will be largely the same.

Launching the form editor will open the simple form editor. For more information on simple form builder see the GOapply Simple Form Builder knowledge article.

Step 3: Add fields

Drag and drop fields into the form. All Request fields (including custom) are available in the toolbox on the left side of the screen.

Misc.

The fields under Misc. are unmapped. These are to collect information that you do not need to map to the Request. These fields will appear on the PDF that is generated after the user submits the recommendation.

Request

The fields under Request are mapped to Request. They will populate information on the Request that the recommender inputs in the form.
