🏗️ Step 1: Add the Page to Your Cycle
Go to the Grant Editor tab → Cycle Pages subtab.
Choose the specific Program and Cycle you are working on.
Scroll down to the page type dropdown menu and select Activity Locations.
Check the boxes if this page should appear in your Interim or Final Report.
Give the page a name (e.g., "Project Venues" or "Event Locations"), set its position in the sequence, and click Add.
✍️ Step 2: Customize Instructions
Click the pencil icon ✏️ next to your new Activity Locations page.
Use the text editor at the top to provide clear instructions or definitions.
Click Update at the bottom of the page.
🎥 Click here for video alt-text.
A 36-second screen recording demonstrates an administrator adding a new "Activity Locations" page to a grant application cycle within the GO Smart dashboard. The video concludes with a preview of the newly created applicant-facing page.
⚠️ Alert: After entering an address, applicants can click the teal Find Lat/Lng hyperlink to plug in coordinates immediately. We recommend you call this out in your instructions.
💡 Tip: This page is especially useful for "Touring" grants or projects that happen in multiple schools, libraries, or community centers.
📝 Note: Since this is a system template, you cannot change the address fields or row labels. If you need to request extra details not required by the NEA, consider adding a Custom Narrative page immediately after this one.
📊 Reporting and Compliance
Using the NEA Questions and Activity Locations pages is the only way to utilize the automated reporting features for your federal requirements.
The Locations Report: Once your grantees submit their forms, go to Reports → Activity Locations Report to generate a formatted, ready-to-send file to the NEA.
⚠️ Alert: Use this specific system template to generate the "Activity Locations Report." A custom table or narrative page will not automatically format the data for the federal report.
