Step 1. Create a Funding Stream Record in Sugar:

 

 In the Program Summary tab

  • Enter an abbreviation into the "Program Abbreviation" field. This should be a short abbreviation and something other than "CSQI" or "HSQI"
  • Enter dates into the "Start Date" and "End Date" fields
  • Update the "Grant Lead" and "Special Approver" fields with the name of the sugar user who will be approving spending

 

In the Application Setup tab

  • There are three required fields on this tab, "When does _____ sign the MOU".  Set all of these to "Does not Sign"

 

In the QI Dollars Detail tab

  • Update the "Council Spending End Date" - this will be the final day that council users will be able to create spending requests in ecConnect
  • Enter your QI Dollar budget for in the "Direct QI Budget" field.
  • Update the "QI Dollars Reserved for Participants Budget (Assignment via Applications)" field. In most cases you'll want the amount in this field to be the same as the amount you entered into the "Direct QI Budget" field, however, if you want, you can enter less than that amount, which will put the remainder into the pooled dollar requisition which you can transfer to your dollar requisitions later.
