    Pivot-RP Admin: Curated Opps

    Introduction

    Pivot-RP Administrators have the ability to create lists of funding opportunities that are visible to all Pivot-RP users in your organization.  A new section of the Pivot-RP home page labeled Curated is visible (once you’ve created a list and added an opp).  These lists have unique URLs that allow you to post them on a webpage, similar to a Saved Search.  The difference is that the curated lists have specific funding opps you assign and a Saved Search simply runs a funding search where the results are potentially different each time the user clicks on the link.

    Pivot-RP users cannot add or remove opps from Curated lists, but they can save them to their own Active or Tracked lists, or share them with colleagues.

    Creating a Curated List

    Admins can create an unlimited number of lists, and each list is “named."

    To create a new Curated list:
    1. From any funding search results list, select the funding opps you wish to place on the list.  

    2. Click Curate.

     Alternately, you click the Curate option from within an individual funding opportunity record or from your Tracked or Active list:

    1. You’ll be prompted to name your list.  Enter a new list name (30-character limit) or select a previously named list.

    You may see list names displayed that you are unable to select.  These are lists created by other Pivot-RP Admins at your institution.  You cannot create a curated list with the same name as an existing list, nor can you add opps to a curated list created by another Admin.

    1. Use the search box at the top of the Curate box to see if a list already exists with the name you have in mind.  If you see the name in black type (see global warming example above), click the check box to add the selected opp(s) to that list.  If you are creating a new list and the name you have in mind has not been used, click Create New and follow the steps to complete the process.
