# How Do I Connect a Grant Application to Its Required Documents?

You connect a grant application to its documents by defining a required document set per funder, flagging an application as incomplete until every item is attached. On **Jestor**, this runs through required document fields on the grant application **table**.

A grant application submitted without confirming every required document is actually attached risks a proposal being rejected on a technicality before it's even reviewed.

## What untracked application completeness costs

- A proposal rejected on a technicality before the actual content is even reviewed
- No systematic way to confirm every required document is genuinely attached
- Time spent manually cross-checking a funder's requirements before submission
- Risk of missing a required attachment specific to a particular funder

## How tracking application completeness works

- A required **document set** is defined per funder or grant type
- The application stays flagged as incomplete until every item is attached
- Staff see exactly what's missing before submission, not after rejection
- A dashboard can show completeness status across every active application

## Why Jestor fits this use case

- Structured completeness checking catches a gap before submission, not after
- This reduces the risk of rejection on a technicality that was preventable
- Consolidated completeness visibility supports organized application preparation
- This scales from a handful of applications to an organization pursuing many grants
