The Submission Portal is a major feature of Zengine that is crucial to the functioning of grant, scholarship, and a range of other programs. At its most basic level, the Submission Portal is where portal users can submit their applications and related information. This data can then be viewed and managed by administrators in a Zengine workspace. However, submission portals also offer a multitude of other tools and features that assist administrators in managing the full lifecycle of a program.
Submission portals offer a wide array of customizable configuration options, allowing program administrators to create a unique submission portal that is specifically tailored to their individual program. Because of the depth of these options, and the different features and tools that administrators can make use of, WizeHive’s Knowledge Base contains a number of different articles on building and customizing a submission portal.
Article Collection Description
Here is how the articles included in this collection are organized:
- Three main articles serve as central hubs that link out to the other articles and organize this material in different ways.
- Introduction to Submission Portals (this article) details the suggested learning paths and lists other articles in approximate order of complexity and difficulty.
- Submission Portal Settings describes how to access the configuration settings for a submission portal and lists other articles according to where the configuration can be found in the Submission Portal Settings.
- Building a Submission Portal explains the process for creating a basic submission portal, with other articles listed in a suggested order for expanding and customizing a new portal that has just been created.
- Two other articles provide explanations of key concepts that are critical to understand for any administrator who wants to build their own portal, or add functionality and customization to an existing portal.
- Submission Portal Key Concepts: Beginner explains the way a submission portal interacts with the Zengine workspace and the basic structural components of a portal. Appropriate for those with no or relatively little experience managing submission portals.
- Submission Portal Key Concepts: Intermediate expands on these concepts with more complexity and depth. Appropriate for those with an intermediate level of knowledge and/or experience managing and configuring portals.
- About 50 short configuration articles that explain how to enable, edit, or set up only one or a few configuration options in the Submission Portal Settings. These can be searched for, or are listed in the main three articles.
The following table appears at the top of the main articles and provides a summary of content in each.
To organize this expansive collection of submission portal articles, WizeHive has created different learning paths to help orient, educate, and empower clients to learn about and manage their submission portals.
The articles are organized into three levels: beginner, intermediate, and advanced.
- Beginner articles will take users through the foundational concepts of a submission portal, as well as introduce many of the main settings.
- The intermediate and advanced articles cover more complex topics that build on a general understanding of the main concepts and functions within a submission portal (particularly the Submission Portal Key Concepts: Intermediate articles). To guide users, these articles have recommendations for other articles on various submission portal features or functions to know about before tackling the intermediate or advanced topic.
