The Calendar tab shows key dates for competitions and opportunities, even to non-logged in users. It has both a Calendar View and a List View. Administrators also have the option to add a standalone event to the calendar. 


Calendar Dates

There are five potential date types that may show on the calendar. Three of the dates come from the competition's Details page (indicated in purple below).

  • 1- Launch Date - The date the opportunity is set to launch or was launched on. Note: This date cannot be hidden.
  • 2- Internal Submission Deadline - Required field set on the Details page by Administrators. This is the technical application deadline. This deadline can be hidden. Learn more.
  • 3- Funding Organization's Deadline - Optional field Administrators can enter on the Details page. This deadline can be hidden. Learn more.
  • 4- Letter of Intent Deadline - Optional field Administrators can enter on the Details page. This deadline can be hidden. Learn more.   
  • 5- Event - Separate entry from competitions that Administrators can create (more details at the bottom of this article).
