Account-Wide

Standard Fields are available across programs, irrespective of what forms are used to capture that information. By using this standardisation, it provides grantmakers with a means of developing a common data schema for information they request within their grants in SmartyGrants. This also allows for cross program reporting.

Editable

Responses can also be edited in a Standard Field. This means that you could update a response submitted by an applicant on a form - e.g. fix a spelling mistake, or modify an out-of-date project title. Your reporting can then be pulled from the latest and most up-to-date response. This doesn’t edit the form submitted; the original form response will remain available and you can still report based on the original response if you so wish.

Flow-Through

Standard Field responses can also flow through to other forms (e.g. Assessment or Acquittal) to be used as a read-only reference, or to allow a user to update the response in that field.
