# Grant application desk: every criterion, word limit and attachment tracked

> For Grant writers, not-for-profit staff and researchers applying for funding.

each selection criterion is a row with its word limit and words drafted, so you can see which answers are over, under or missing; the budget, the guidelines PDF and the partner-letter tasks sit beside the draft. Distinct from the post-award grant report (persona room 01).

## What goes on the desk

- Document ‘Application draft’ (/help/widget-document)
- Table ‘Criteria’ (Criterion, Word limit, Words drafted as numbers, Status (single select), Evidence) (/help/widget-table)
- Field widgets for the submission date and the total word limit (/help/widget-field)
- Spreadsheet ‘Budget’ (/help/widget-spreadsheet)
- File or link for the guidelines PDF (/help/widget-file-or-link)
- Tasks ‘Partner letters and attachments’ (/help/widget-tasks-planning)
- Calendar for the deadline (in beta) (/help/widget-calendar).

## Set it up

copy the criteria from the guidelines into the table; set the desk’s due date.

## Use it day to day

one criterion per session; update words drafted.

## Where Plexii helps

the Document’s Rewrite selection shortens an over-limit answer and changes nothing until you replace (/help/widget-document); Plexii answers questions about what is on the desk with sources (/help/ai-assistant).
