This screenshot of the Grant Manager Dashboard shows a table of applications, with specific administrative tools circled to indicate how to retrieve applicant contact information. Key areas highlighted in the screenshot include: App PDF: A link circled under the "View" column that leads to a read-only version of the application, with an email link in the header. Log In as Applicant: An action circled under the "Actions" column that allows an administrator to log in to the site as that user to view their full account profile. Email Column: A specific data column circled in the main table that displays the applicant's email address directly on the dashboard. Add/Edit Columns: A button circled in the top-right corner with an arrow pointing to the Email column, indicating how users can add the email field to their current dashboard view if it is not already visible.

📝 Note:

  • Clicking an email address in the GO Smart App PDF opens the default email app on the device (such as Outlook or Gmail).
