Exporting Funding Opportunities
Currently there is no method to export funding opportunities into a nicely formatted PDF or Word document. It would be very helpful to be able to export funding opps into these formats in order to share with a group of faculty in a meeting. An actual document to pass around the table for discussion and planning would be great.

Apologies for the long delayed change of status from planned to complete. The ability to export to a Word Document has long been in the product which allows for easy customization and conversion to PDF as well. If additional functionality is needed, please suggest via a new idea exchange entry.

I totally agree! Especially if the "nicely formatted," included funding highlights: opportunity title (with link), due date(s), funding amounts, & very brief description (2-3 sentences max).
The goal would be to fit 3-5 opportunities on one digestible page that a group of researchers could discuss. It would also same me a huge amount of time to share and highlight information.
Please add an email option to PDF & Word.
As it is now, I have to curate & present these opportunities outside of Pivot, which removes researchers from the valuable search tool. Please see https://www.grants.ca.gov/ for a great presentation of key funding information on one webpage.

Hi, there,
I had hoped to do this, as well. I finally created a work-around. This is what I do:
1. Create a (private) curated list
2. Select all funding opps that you wish to announce on the curated list
3. Select Export; HTML format; indicate if you want the full record, standard fields, or select your own fields: Submit.
4. Save as a PDF (within Acrobat use "Convert webpage to PDF."
It's a lot of steps but it's the only way I could create a curated list of funding opps (and save the file as a record) to share announcements in a meeting.
Hope that helps!
