Get to know PROGRANTA's full range of individual functionality, effectiveness and data security
Advanced User Management
These functions make it possible to group users who are supervised team leader, mentor, etc.
Multi-level hierarchies (e.g. management, team or department managers and operators) are also possible. Hierarchically superior users can monitor and process all applications of subordinate users.
Advanced Application Management
In contrast to the single application management in the basic license, the applicants create a password-protected user account.
Programmes in which multiple applications can be submitted, or initial and subsequent applications that build on each other within a programme, can be conveniently managed together in one account via an input mask. The applications can also be visible after project completion.
Partner assignment enables applicants to work in a network. Here, the simultaneous processing of an application by users with different rights is made possible.
For co-productions and group applications, an applicant can grant other persons defined access rights to his application. Either only „read rights“ or „read and edit rights“.
Of course, the applicant has the data protection related decision-making authority over the allocation of rights at all times. The rights can be set separately for each application. In order to maintain transparency, all entries are logged by PROGRANTA and assigned to the individual processors in a traceable manner.
The so-called sub-proposals allow for complex applications consisting of several sub-projects to be evaluated independently of each other.
This means that each application can be divided into a defined number of sub-applications to be evaluated separately. These sub-applications can be approved or rejected individually as part of the overall application.
With the help of the central program management, various funding programs can be combined into one application portal and processed via a single sign-on.
One URL, a central common person and user administration as well as only one password for all programs of a funding body are necessary – for applicants as well as for administrative users.
The usability is significantly increased, especially for multiple users. This function can also be used to perform statistical analyses of cross-program data, which can be displayed collectively in defined overviews.
By means of the access control, regulated time windows can be defined in which the application administration is accessible (switching the login page on and off).
By means of the submission control, regulated time windows can be defined in which the applications can be submitted for processing (switching the submit button on and off). Data entry into the application system is still possible at any time.
Advanced Workflow Management
The dashboard gives you immediate information about current changes to all data records stored in the system: Notes and information from other users, received e-mails, status changes of ongoing processes or supplementary uploads of documents.
Using digital Post-its – similar to a circular file – clerks can add notes to each individual process and exchange supplementary text memos, information and comments with each other.
This function removes unwanted formatting, for example from copied MS Word files before entering them into the database.
Advanced Input and Output Management
This function enables a 100% seamless, electronic application process and authentication. All that is required is a simple DE-Mail account.
There is no need to purchase card readers or additional hardware or software. The handling is completely barrier-free and as simple as sending and receiving e-mails.
This module is used to administer the entire electronic contracting process. All submissions incl. changes are logged and also the administration of multiple submissions of application pre-stages (version control) is possible.
This module enables the generation of documents in PDF/A format. The layout of the output file can be freely defined.
It is also possible to manage multiple generated file versions, including receipt control, change logging and multiple submission options.
The documents are documented in the system with a timestamp and the entire process is logged so that subsequent changes can be traced at any time. Connection to long-term archive systems is possible.
All database contents can be exported in a freely definable layout via this module as finished Word documents. These documents can then be further processed in the common compatible Office programs on Mac and Windows PCs.
All database contents can be exported via this module as PDF documents in freely definable layouts, which can be read in the common compatible PDF readers on Mac and Windows PCs.
Advanced Voting Management
When processing an application, committee members have individual access to the data records and processes to be evaluated in a clear evaluation matrix.
Voting can be done in hidden or open voting. If desired, unlocked groups can transfer applications live from the meeting to other users for further processing. Data fields can be defined for each project, which can be filled out directly in the voting mask.
In addition, it is possible to enter information, reasons or other remarks in comment fields, which can then optionally be transferred directly as a generated protocol.
As a supplement to the voting matrix, this function extends the voting and evaluation support for the approval of applications in any size.
The processing can take place independent of space and time: either from the home office or in a joint meeting. All important meeting actions such as reasons for approval and rejection, distribution of votes, biases or the amount of funding can be logged live in the system during the meeting.
Subsequently, selected fields can be exported or generated into a printable document in the corporate design of the funding body.
Advanced Communications Management
Incoming emails are assigned to the corresponding projects and also stored there.
This function allows a quick insight into the current communication status of the project and ensures a smooth project handover, e.g. in the case of holiday replacements. The parallel use of Outlook and other Office programs is possible.
Depending on the process, emails can be sent either immediately or with a time delay. With PROGRANTA you can handle complete standardized communication.
Incoming emails are checked and possible automated feedback is sent to the sender, for example, if there is no assignment to the application or if viruses are suspected.
To optimize the server load, the function provides for a maximum of 3 bounce emails to an addressee per day. After that, no more emails are sent to avoid possible SPAM flagging.
PROGRANTA is a full-featured email client that can be used to create and send emails manually and, if desired, supplemented with automatically updated content from the PROGRANTA database.
The emails are automatically assigned to the corresponding projects and can be accessed centrally by all agents.
Your own individual email templates can be set up. The email templates are then retrieved directly from the email client.
Advanced Interface Management
The contents of all data fields can be exported as an Excel-compatible CSV file for further processing. The desired data fields can be selected individually for each export.
A selection per status, e.g. „all released transactions“, can also be submitted for export. Likewise, the collected output of data records from several requests in a CSV file is possible.
In addition to the activity data, integrated sub-databases (e.g. from lists within a project or an optionally integrated funds call function) can also be exported to an Excel-compatible CSV file as an overview overall or according to selected key dates.
For regular reports, predefined export sets/export combinations can be saved and retrieved as needed and exported as a preconfigured Excel-compatible CSV file.
As an extension to the export functions, this module offers a freely configurable process and time-controlled data export.
This is customizable at the data field level and includes attachments as well as application related data from other integrated third-party systems. The export can also be compressed as a ZIP file or configured for automatic imports into external third-party systems.
Advanced Data Management
With the help of this module, lists and tables can be created and integrated into the data field masks.
The use of the list generator is particularly helpful if no fixed number of data fields can be specified in advance, as is the case, for example, when listing project participants or entering hours for accounting purposes.
The user can add to lists line by line and PROGRANTA generates new dynamic data fields that are stored in the database.
The system also provides simple calculations such as subtotals and can perform complex plausibility checks using the formula generator.
Database fields can be assigned several functions and assignments to be managed in parallel. Transactions can, for example, be assigned to several departments or financial years at the same time, as may be necessary for multi-level procedures or transactions to be managed over several years.
Advanced Financial Management
This module allows the tabulation of selected number and data fields in an Excel-like input.
With this module, calculations and financial overviews can be displayed particularly clearly. Supplemented by the formula editor, automated calculations can also be performed within the table.
In addition to simple sum calculations, this module also performs plausibility checks as well as limit and threshold value calculations.
Users are able to manually correct entered as well as automatically calculated values for special cases or legitimate exceptions. This can be done directly in the respective data field or via additional data fields. Changes are logged in the history log and thus remain traceable.
Funds call module
You can use this function to define statuses and process steps when calls for funds are made in the course of application processing.
Additional conditions may also be defined which must be met before a call for funds can be submitted. This module controls, among other things, the maximum amounts available. In conjunction with the PROGRANTA formula editor, it can also control complex calculations such as percentage withholdings, own funds to be contributed, or even repayments.
The module is designed both for the management of the application and the operators who do the further processing, including the generation of cover letters, lists, documents, statements, and notifications.
Reports and vouchers module
Generates and manages interim, factual, and final reports during ongoing transaction processing. Supports freely definable statuses and process steps.
Proof-of-use list module
This function allows you to create, submit and manage interim and final proof-of-use lists during ongoing transaction processing.
This module allows PROGRANTA to manage the organizational allocation of each transaction.
The tasks can, for example, be grouped according to time periods, regions, or meetings and assigned accordingly. Lists and documents corresponding to the respective tasks are also prepared and displayed according to the assignment.
Key figures can be displayed directly from the search function through freely defined formulas.
Individual overviews can be generated and continuously retrieved via this module.
These can include, for example, individual statistical or dynamic lists, tables, or otherwise structured views. In terms of project management, logging info and documentation as well as financial planning can be included. All controlling and list views can also be exported directly as CSV or Excel files.
