How Do I Change the Sponsor Deadline Date on a Proposal?
This is an excellent question and one that comes up more often that one might think. The reasons for changing the sponsor deadline date can be anything from the Sponsor date actually changing to the way your department/university uses the deadline date changing.
Whatever the reason for the change, the good news is that the Sponsor Deadline date is a date that is controlled entirely by you, the customer. In fact, the Sponsor Deadline Date is set by the customer initially, at the time the proposal is created. (Please see screenshot below.) Whenever a "Due Date" is entered during proposal creation, that is listed as the Sponsor Deadline Date.
To change this date after it has been set, open the proposal and click on the Summary section (left-hand side, bottom of the screen -- red arrow shown below).
When the Proposal Summary screen appears on the right side of the screen, the Sponsor Deadline field is located at the top (yellow highlight). You can change date using the calendar icon to open a calendar, or you can simply key in a new date. Then save your change and the change will take effect immediately.
