Enable smart autofill
Applicants who receive multiple awards may need to complete multiple post-acceptance applications. For a given applicant, if a post-acceptance or renewal question is used on multiple opportunities, Smart Autofill assists the applicant by automatically copying the applicant's latest answer for that question to the open post-acceptance or renewal applications. Smart Autofill does not update closed or archived post-acceptance or renewal applications.
Enabling Smart Autofill on an existing question impacts all opportunities that use that question. To review all the associated opportunities for a question, see Review associated opportunities.
To enable Smart Autofill for a new or existing question:
-
Go to an opportunity record.
-
Under Post-Acceptance, select Questions.
-
Select Add Applicant Question to add new question or Edit next to an existing question.
-
Select Smart Autofill for the selected question.
-
Save and close the window.
On the applicant side, the experience remains the same. Smart Autofill takes the applicant's first response and inserts the answer into the same question across all post-acceptance and renewal applications. If the applicant edits their answer, the new value is used.
Note: If an applicant answers a post-acceptance question, the change will only impact post-acceptance applications, not renewal applications. Similarly, if an applicant answers a renewal question, the change will only impact renewal applications, not post-acceptance applications.
