The term Status refers to the different stages of the grant lifecycle (that is, Opportunity, Notification, Response, Application, Award, Amendment, or Close-out / Audit) whereas the term folder is used to identify the central repository of each status record’s information. Once a user opens a Status Folder, they can view multiple entries within that status or search on a specific entry thereby opening up the “folder” (for example, a particular application record). The user is within that particular grant’s “folder” upon selecting a particular record. At this point, the user may maneuver through each of the statuses, focusing on that grant, using the links at the bottom the page. For example, the user may click on the Award link at the bottom of the Application Status Folder which will open up the award associated with that application record.
