For the continuity of reporting in SP 4.0, certain fields are required when building Award, Proposal, or Subaward forms in the Form Builder. Depending on your institution, you are using either the Simplified Form Builder or the Advanced Form Builder. In order to identify the required fields for your form, please first identify your Form Builder in the section below.
Which Form Builder am I using?
If you are using the Advanced Form Builder, your forms look similar to the image below. Each required field will have ID and Short Label fields that must match the text from tables below.
Please note: The short label Project Title is a reserved label and should not be used for any question on any of the forms.
If you are using the Simplified Form Builder, your forms look similar to the image below. Each required field will have Label and Key fields that must match the text from tables below.
Once you have determined your Form Builder type, use the tables below to identify required fields and corresponding text for the type of form you are building (proposal, award, or subaward).

Budget Fields (on Proposals)
The fields in this section can be listed as standalone fields on a form. In this case, each field will be available for reporting. Alternatively, these fields are included on a form if the Summary Budget Object is included. However, currently the values stored within the Summary Budget Object, whether populated manually, or from the Budget Builder, are not available for reporting. This is a future enhancement.
