Administrators can allow awardees to add another user user to their progress report for collaboration or delegation purposes. This article covers both:


Important Notes:
- This feature is specific to the Form Designer template.
- The original awardee will always have access to the progress report and will receive any reminders scheduled for the future.
- A progress report must first be assigned by an administrator before a delegate can be added.
- Only one delegate can be added at a time. If multiple people need to help submit a progress report, the current delegate can be removed and a new one can be added.
- In addition to the awardee, any currently assigned delegate will be automatically copied on any reminders, report submission, and report deadline changed emails.
- Awardees can choose if the delegate is allowed to submit the report, or only save as draft.
- If you prefer to add the delegate directly as an administrator, see this article: Delegate Progress Report to Another User as an Administrator

If you receive an error message about the user, it may be because they do not use an email domain allowed on your site. Reach out to your Super or Global Admin to check, or submit a Support ticket to InfoReady.
