This video provides a comprehensive overview of the Life Sciences functionality extension pack available through Bonterra's CyberGrants platform. The extension pack offers specialized features designed to enhance the functionality of the system for life sciences programs, including custom portlets and functions that support healthcare professionals' unique needs. The pack includes four main components: the resupply request portlet (displaying submitted initial and resupply requests with specialized columns for patient information), the resupply function (allowing for initiating resupplies when criteria are met and transferring data from initial requests), a customized registration page (tailored for healthcare professionals rather than organizations), and payment sub-statuses (enabling automatic, real-time updates based on predefined criteria).
The video emphasizes the importance of following Bonterra's vetted methodology during implementation, as deviations may lead to unexpected system behavior, inability to adopt new features, or potential data loss. Unlike customizations, these standardized add-ons are pre-designed and templated, with limited adjustable endpoints that administrators can purchase using solution credits. The extension includes a maintenance package that offers ongoing value and allows for future program additions. Organizations should note that changes to extensions are limited to one per calendar year and must remain within the scope of the purchased extension. If you are interested in adding this extension pack to your CyberGrants implementation or have any further questions after viewing this video, please contact your assigned Project Manager.
