Questions, answered
What types of compliance deadlines does it track?
It tracks grant reporting due dates, audit schedule dates, fiscal-year close deadlines, and any other reporting requirement recorded against a grant or fund in Aplos.
Can it file reports or submit documents automatically?
No. WebRun only tracks and surfaces deadlines. All report preparation and submission is done by your staff. The tool ensures nothing is overlooked, not that it acts on your behalf.
What if a deadline shifts after it is logged in the sheet?
It reads live data from Aplos each Monday and updates the Google Sheet row with the revised date, so the calendar always reflects the current schedule.
