E-rate Manager for Applicants Podcast

Now that your Funding Year 2010 applications have been submitted, you can easily track their statuses from the Home Tab within E-rate Manager for Applicants.

This week, we're demonstrating something that is not directly a part of E-rate Manager for Applicants, but rather a tool that Funds For Learning has created to help all E-rate applicants. It's a Excel worksheet that tabulates the scores of an applicant's Service Provider evaluation.

You can download you copy of the spreadsheet here: Service Provider Evaluation by Funds For Learning.

The video below demonstrates how to use this helpful spreadsheet.

It's that time of year again...time for Forms 470 to be posted for new procurements heading into the upcoming E-rate year. We've put together this podcast to walk you through creating a Form 470 using E-rate Manager for Applicants. The Form 470 Wizard lets you input information as you collect it and then transfer it to the SLD's website when you are ready.  You remain in control of the process--you still submit and certify the Form on the SLD's website.

In a previous E-rate Manager for Applicants Podcast, we showed you some features that you can access when working with tables. Since that podcast was produced, the way some of these features are accessed have changed. This podcast will get you up to speed on the easier way of working with your E-rate data in E-rate Manager for Applicants. We also have another podcast which discusses adding custom columns to tables, you can watch that podcast here.

Subscribers to E-rate Manager for Applicants have access to some great resources including E-rate training presentations which are available to watch at any time from the E-rate Manager for Applicants home page.
