Adding a lead reviewer
Note: the lead reviewer role is now provided as a default role in new Good Grants accounts. This article can be used to add the role to legacy accounts.
A common request amongst programs that utilise Good Grants is a manager-type role that helps to monitor the reviewing process of applications without having access to other areas of the platform, like settings. A lead reviewer, as it is configured here, will be able to see the total combined score from all reviewers via Applications > Review applications from both the list view and within individual applications as shown below.
Applications > Judge applications list view | ![]() |
When reviewing an application | ![]() |
