⚡Next Quick Guide

Overview

This quick guide explains the program level in Next. 

What is the Program Level? 

A program is a single opportunity that your organization runs (for example, a grant, scholarship, fellowship, or award). The Program level is where you manage a program — its cycles, members, and settings. 

Who can access the program level?

• Organization Owners
• Client Admins
• Program Owners
• Program Managers
• Program Staff (limited access) 

What You'll See When You Open a Program

1. Log into your account. From the Programs page, click View Program to open the program you want to work in.
   
   
   

• The Program Menu appears. The default landing page is Award Cycles.
  
  

How to Get Around (Layout & Navigation)

When you're in a program, you'll see a menu on the left side of the page with the following options: 

• Award Cycles
• Program Info
• Program Members
• Admin Section
• Program Inbox
• Awarding History
• Analytics
• Program Settings

Click an item in the Program Menu to open that page. 

📌Note: If you are a Program Staff, you won't see Program Settings or the Admin section, as those tabs are only accessible to admins. 

Award Cycles

View all award cycles in the program. You can search and sort the list from this page.
