The Organization Validation question type requires integration setup with your organization’s software program or a subscription requirement purchased through GuideStar and an additional plugin through CommunityForce. If using GuideStar you must have already purchased a subscription requirement through GuideStar and an additional plugin through CommunityForce. Once you have the integration setup completed, this question will display in your application and should require no further setup by you.
This question type creates a dropdown listing of pre-approved organizations’ information from your organization’s program that has been integrated with CommunityForce (i.e., Grants Edge) or with GuideStar. Depending on the integration, this will validate with a field in GuideStar or your organization's database and create a dropdown question with a pre-populated selection from your database.
Example:
Validate with Grants Edge (Schools): The question will automatically populate with the approved organization listing of schools from your GE program (schools field) for the applicant to select from that dropdown listing.
Validate with GuideStar: A validate button will display next to the text field. The applicant enters their organization name and clicks the validate button. The moment they click on validate, it contacts GuideStar and pulls data from GuideStar to populate data fields that have been pre-mapped to GuideStar fields within the application.
