What's New - GrantsConnect Release 2.153.0

Grant managers can now send one-off Adobe Acrobat Sign requests from the Signatures tab on an application. They can upload a PDF or select a merge document, preview the generated PDF, choose the signer type (Applicant, Grant Manager, or External), and track request progress in one place.

Grant managers with the required permissions can search and filter requests, cancel pending requests, and create a new request with corrected signer details or document information when needed.

From the actions menu, they can download the original document and audit trail. The signed document is available when the request status updates to Signed.

Adobe Acrobat Sign expands signature options but does not replace existing form-level electronic signatures or change the application workflow stage.

For details, see Request and Track Adobe Signatures for an Application.

Note: Signature status is not shown in Application Communications, and this release does not include a confirmed completion notification or signature-status filter in the Applications view.

Grant managers can now view nomination data and application data side-by-side in the Application View page, split-screen edit modal, and view-form modal. Applicants can view both on the application form page. When a nomination form is linked to an application, it appears as a read-only section within the application, eliminating the need to switch between views.

Nomination data is displayed as read-only to prevent accidental edits. When adding a nomination form to a workflow level in the Program Form modal, an explanatory message clarifies that the nomination form data becomes view-only for users in that workflow level.

Note: Nomination form sections cannot be edited when displayed alongside an application form.
