Administrators with full site access using the Organization Accounting tool can add additional questions to appear on the campus funding and purchase request forms. This is accomplished by modifying Additional Fields. The process is the same for modifying both funding and purchase request additional fields. 

Begin by entering the Admin view and selecting the Finance drop down, then choose either Funding Additional Fields or Purchase Additional Fields depending on which form you would like to edit. 

Creating or Modifying Funding & Purchase Request Form Questions

Select Edit Fields to begin creating form questions for your request. Note that many common questions (e.g. amount, purpose) are already included in the base form, so include only questions specific to your campus. This form builder is very similar to most other form builders across Engage, allowing for a variety of question types ranging from text inputs to file upload. 

Form Question Funding & Purchase Request Settings

Once you have finished creating each of your desired form questions and determining which questions should be required in order to submit the request, choose the Finance drop-down and the relevant additional fields section again.
