From Application to Audit Trail Reporting That Proves Your Process

Submit.com’s built-in scoring, tagging and reporting tools give your team a fully documented review process and leadership-ready insights from day one.

Leadership-Ready Dashboards.
Audit-Ready Reports.

Every score, tag, comment and message your team records in Submit.com feeds directly into the reporting tools your leadership team and auditors expect. Your data is already there. Here is how to use it.

A Review Process Built for Accountability

Whether you run a grant programme, an awards scheme, a funding application or anything in between, your admin team has a consistent set of tools to manage and assess every incoming submission.

Scoring

Evaluators score applications using criteria you define. Every score is attributed to the individual who submitted it. Where multiple evaluators are involved, scores are aggregated automatically, giving you individual and overall views side by side.

Tagging

Tags track where each application sits in your workflow, whether a simple status update or a multi-stage pipeline. Applied manually, they reflect real human decisions. Every tag action is logged so you always know who moved an application forward and when.

Commenting

Team members leave notes directly against an application, visible to the team but not the applicant. Your internal conversation stays in one place, tied to the relevant record, rather than scattered across emails or spreadsheets.

Messaging

Communicate directly with applicants without leaving the platform. Every message sent or received is stored against the application, giving you a complete, searchable record of every interaction without switching between tools.

Always recording

Everything Your Team Does is Logged Automatically

Every score, tag, comment and message is recorded in Submit.com's Audit Trail. The trail logs who made each change, what was changed, and exactly when it happened. If you ever need to demonstrate that your process was fair and properly documented, the evidence is already there.

  • Timestamped record of every action
  • Named attribution for every team member
  • Searchable log across your full programme
  • No manual documentation required

Reporting That Works for Every Audience

Once your data is in Submit.com, a powerful set of reporting tools helps you make sense of it, whether you are preparing a board update, submitting to a funder, or simply tracking how your programme is performing.

Form Summary

Your Filterable, Exportable Dataset

The Form Summary gives you a live, structured view of all your submissions in one place. Filter by status, tag, date range or any answer given in your form. Sort, search and customise the columns displayed.

When you are ready, export the whole dataset as a CSV, whether that is a shortlist for a panel meeting, a full record for a funder report, or a working dataset for your team.

Breakdowns

Visual Insights from Your Application Data

The Breakdowns section turns your form answers into charts. Any question in your form can become a pie chart or bar chart, showing how responses are distributed across your applicant pool.

Charts are filterable, exportable and ready to drop straight into a presentation or funder report, particularly useful for demonstrating strategic alignment and showing how your programme is reaching its intended audiences.

Grants Reporting

Financial Oversight at a Glance

For grant and funding programmes, Submit.com includes dedicated financial reporting tools. Track amounts awarded, amounts drawn down and remaining balances across your full portfolio.

Summary statistics cover the lowest, average and highest award values. Cumulative charts show how funding has moved over time, making it easy to spot trends and demonstrate progress to funders and boards.

Two Sides of the Same System

The admin tools and the reporting suite are not separate features. They are two halves of the same platform. The more consistently your team uses scoring, tagging and commenting, the richer and more reliable your reporting becomes.

Submit.com is not just a place to collect applications. It is a platform that turns every decision your team makes into a data point you can stand behind.
