What’s in Cycle Info

Cycle Details

This is where you name the cycle and add a short, internal description for your team. 

• Cycle Name: 

  The name of the cycle. This name is visible to admins, reviewers, approvers, and applicants throughout the platform. It also appears on your Opportunities page. To change it, see ➡️ Rename an Award Cycle.
  
  

• Cycle Description (⚠️for internal use only):

A short description cycle for your team. This is for internal use only. It does not appear anywhere else in Next, and applicants never see it.


 

➜ To add or edit a cycle description:

1. In the description field, enter your text. 
   
   
    
2. Click Save Changes in the upper-right corner (Note: The Save Changes button only appears after you make a change).
   
   

• A confirmation message briefly appears in the bottom-left corner of the screen.
  

Admin Section 

This is a private space where your team can store internal information for the cycle, like budget codes, internal notes, or reference files. 

• The Admin Section is only visible to admins (Organization Owners, Client Admins, Program Owners, Program Managers). 
   
• You build the form by adding fields, then you and other admins fill it in with the necessary information. It can be updated at any time. 

➜ To build or edit the Admin Section form, see ➡️ Setting Up & Using the Admin Section
