Change Component Order

IMPORTANT: This topic is applicable only to multi-project applications.

ClosedThe Change Component Order screen is used to set the order in which your components appear in the submitted application (i.e., the PDF version) for each particular component type. For example, if your application contains four components of the component type Research, you can re-arrange those four components into any order you wish. The component order can be changed for components in the status of Work in Progress, Complete, or Final.

NOTE: Although components within a particular component type can be re-ordered, you cannot re-arrange the order of component types.

Access the Change Component Order screen by selecting the Change Component Order button on the Actions panel. Once the screen is opened, follow the steps below to update the order of components of a particular component type:

  1. ClosedSelect a component type from the Select Component Type drop-down list and click the Select button. The component types displayed in the list depend on your application's opportunity number.

    The 3 component types in this sample project are shown in the Choose Component drop-down

    ClosedThe screen updates to display the current Order, Component, Project Title, and Project Lead for each component of the selected component type. Components display in the order in which they were added to the application until they are re-ordered using this feature. Once components have been re-ordered, they will display in the current (i.e., updated) order.

  2. ClosedUse the text box in the Order column for each component being re-ordered to enter an order value. Make sure to enter a unique value in each Order field. You will receive an error if you attempt to save the order of components with duplicate order values.

    You may use decimal numbers (up to 2 places) and negative numbers to avoid re-numbering every component. For example, to re-order a particular component to appear between the first and second components, enter that component Order as 1.5.

    After updating the values, you can use the Refresh button to display the components in the updated order. Refreshing the displayed order does not save the order and you can always use the Cancel button to abort the action, even after refreshing the screen.

    The 3rd component in the list has been renumbered with an Order value = 1.5

  3. ClosedWhen satisfied with the component order, select the Save button to save your results and return to the Application Information screen.

    ClosedYou can see your changes reflected in the Component Type panel.
