Whenever a new call or reporting period is created in FMP, you need to create an instructions set for it. This is best accomplished by duplicating an existing instructions set that is most like what the new instruction set will become and then editing the new instructions files. Please refer to the table tables below that describes the arrangement of instructions files within the eSG root folder - Instructions sets and webfiles for RFP calls and reporting periods are located in the 'instructions_includes' folder of eSG.
- Call instruction sets are organized in a folder named for the call's database ID (e.g. 1,2,3,…) found in the 'Calls' layout of RFP FMP.
- Reporting Period instruction sets are organized in a folder named for the reporting period's database ID (e.g. rep_1,ep_2,ep_3,…) found in the 'Reporting Periods' layout of PM FMP.
RFP - CallsPRE-PROPOSAL / APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS 'instructions_prelim.php' is the core instructions page for submitting pre-proposals and applications in eSG. Both the pre-proposal start page (index_prelim.php), application start page (index_app.php),and the printer-friendly, publicly-accessible version (index_pp_popup.php) include 'instructions_prelim.php'. If accessed via a public page, 'index_pp_popup.php' requires a query parameter for call ID (e.g. "index_pp_popup.php?call_id=1"). It's important to note that there are really two types of 'instructions_prelim.php' files: one for pre-proposals, and one for applications, because each relies on a different set of includes (see table). FULL PROPOSAL INSTRUCTIONS 'instructions.php' file is the core instructions page for submitting full proposals in eSG. Both the full proposal start page (index_fp.php), and the printer-friendly, publicly-accessible version (index_fp_popup.php) include 'instructions.php'. If accessed via a public page, 'index_fp_popup.php' requires a query parameter for call ID (e.g. "index_fp_popup.php?call_id=1"). BUDGET JUSTIFICATION INSTRUCTIONS Each call instructions set contains a set of budget justification includes. These instructions appear both in core instructions pages and the justification pop-ups. PRE-PROPOSAL REVIEW INSTRUCTIONS Each call also uses two embedded, call-specific pre-proposal review instructions includes that work just like the call-specific instructions includes for the proposal submission interfaces. There's one set for each pre-proposal review configuration (1:simple, 2:complex), and correspond to instructions sections at the top and bottom of the peer review interface. FULL PROPOSAL PEER REVIEW INSTRUCTIONS Each call also uses two embedded, call-specific peer review instructions includes that work just like the call-specific instructions includes for the proposal submission interfaces. There's one set for each peer review configuration (1:simple, 2:complex), and correspond to instructions sections at the top and bottom of the peer review interface. |
