🎥 This 30-second video shows how to change profile settings as an admin. It then switches to the applicant view to show how those changes look to someone signing up.

📝 Notes:

  • If a field isn't needed, you can hide it or make it optional. You can always ask for that info later in a specific grant form.

  • Ask the GO Smart team about the enhanced profile setting. This allows users to identify as either an individual or an organization.

  • If you report to the NEA, you can use a setting that asks for specific demographic facts and the UEI during registration.

  • If you don't use the enhanced profile setting, you can only change the settings for the District and Website fields.
