Fill in the flow details

The fields to fill in and the applicable rules and restrictions may differ depending on the selected activity. Please read the onscreen information carefully before you fill in the flow details.

When filling in the flows for each activity, keep in mind the maximum allowed number of participants at project level (not including accompanying persons and participants in preparatory visits). If this number is exceeded, an error message will be displayed in the Activities overview section and you will not be able to complete the activity section.

Similarly, the maximum number of participants that can be added to a Preparatory visit is two (2). If this number is exceeded, that preparatory visit activity cannot be completed.

Each flow is divided into a number of subsections, where you will specify flow details and budget information. Each subsection is displayed as a card, which can be individually collapsed or expanded using the Edit icon or the dedicated up/down arrow.

Open each card in sequence and fill in the details. The form will adapt based on the information you provide, and you may need to fill in additional subsections or correct errors based on messages displayed on the screen.

Mandatory fields are marked with a red asterisk (*). Each card is initially preceded by a red line and displays the status Incomplete if there is missing mandatory information, either in that subsection or in another subsection that depends on it. Once you have correctly filled in all the necessary information, the line turns green, and the status is now displayed as Complete. Once all subsections are complete, the flow card is also marked as complete, with a green line.

Certain fields, such as grants, are updated automatically based on the information you provide, and cannot be modified manually.

Here is an example of a flow for the activity type Coaching or training assignments and its subsections before and after completion:

If all details have been correctly filled in, the flow cards are preceded by a green line. If there are incomplete flows, those flows are marked with a red line, and the missing or incorrect key information is indicated in red in the flow card header.

All information displayed here is read-only, as all grants are calculated automatically based on the information you provided in the flows. If changes are required, update the relevant information in the flows.
