Budget categories will vary depending on the grant. Rev 2/5/2019 Page 11 of 17

12 The system is set up, so you cannot allocate more than 100% of a staff person s salary. The percentage is maintained across all programs, so if you apply for 51% of an employee s salary on one grant application, you can only apply for 49% on another application(s). All salary and benefits line items are set up as a percentage only. All other budget categories are values only. In this example, we will add a line item to Salary. First, click Add Budget Line. All staff members you entered as contacts will be available from the pulldown menu under Description Select Contact. It will tell you the percentage of salary remaining for each staff member. Click on the drop-down menu for Select Contact. Choose your employee who you would like to add as a salary line item. The salary auto-fills into the request and match Amount sections. All you must do is fill in the percentage under the Percent boxes for both Request and Match. The system will automatically calculate the Request Total and Match Total (see example on next page).

13 Once a staff member s salary has been used on a grant or 100% allocated across one or many grants, they will no longer be available on the drop-down menu. You can edit a line item by clicking the pencil. You can delete a line item if you click the red X. For each additional budget category, go to that category by clicking on the tab at the top of the budget section or by scrolling through the budget. Click Add Budget Line and enter your information. Click Insert when you are finished. Rev 2/5/2019 Page 13 of 17
