Defer applications to a later decision - Product News

A funding decision can now defer its applications. A deferral sends no letter or email, and the applications stay open for a later decision.

What's new

  • Defer is a third Outcome. Choose it in the first step of a funding decision. A Defer decision skips Notification Details and Select a Letter Template, because it sends no letter and notifies nobody.
  • Record Deferral. On the Send step, record the deferral with an optional reason for your team. Applicants never see the reason. Each application stays Submitted, and the step shows it Deferred with who recorded it and when.
  • Decide it later. A deferred application can be ticked in a later decision that approves or declines it.
