A summary of the process

A REDCap project with title of "WPP Leveraging Project" has been created to keep track of leveraged sources.

The project consists of two instruments: one survey and one internal data collection form called "General Grant Information"

The survey is a repeatable instrument linked to the internal data collection form.

The General Grant Information is holding only the main information of the grant and is being filled by WPP internal staff. Therefore, it is recommended that data entry here is done on a regular basis. This step requires REDCap access that can be requested through the following link:

REDCap Account Request Form

When data entry done, then a queue is available for the repeatable survey that can be either filled externally or internally. There is a field in Blackbaud request module that holds the URL of the survey queue. The link has to be manually copied from REDCap and pasted into that field in Blackbaud. This way, the URL is available to be communicated to grantees and they can take care of it themselves if WPP decides to make that decision.

It is recommended data entry to be processed through one of the following ways only:

Batch data import
