Foothold Technology regularly makes new and improved AWARDS functionality available to all users free of charge. Many of those enhancements are automatically deployed to all AWARDS databases, and are announced to users via e-mail through the FootNotes Monthly Digests (an archive of which can be found here), as well as through monthly postings in the AWARDS FootholdConnect module.
Other enhancements are not deployed automatically, and instead must be requested so that they can be turned on for you behind-the-scenes in AWARDS. These are things that do not have to be turned on, but that may be useful to you. To aid you in requesting these features, Foothold Technology makes two types of detailed request forms available to you:
Optional Enhancements Request Forms
These forms detail newly released features and functionality that you can choose to request now or in the future. Enhancements in these forms are typically grouped by release date, and can be requested at any time.
Implementation Request Forms
These forms detail functionality commonly configured during an agency/continuum's implementation phase with AWARDS. Enhancements in these forms are grouped by module or feature, and can be requested at any time, regardless of whether the AWARDS implementation process is complete.
This portion of Online Help provides links to all available enhancement request forms, as well as instructions on their use.
The Enhancement Request Process 
If you would like to have one or more of the enhancements detailed in these forms deployed for your agency/continuum, please do the following:
Click the link for the relevant form from the list below. The form will be downloaded to your computer and can be opened, reviewed, and completed from within Microsoft Word.
NOTE: If Google Chrome is your browser and you have the "Office Editing" browser extension installed, request forms will not download automatically when the corresponding link is clicked below; instead, they will open in Google Docs. From there, click the download button in the upper-right corner to complete the download process.
Discuss the enhancements with your AWARDS implementation team and/or with any other relevant staff to determine whether or not they will be appropriate for deployment in your AWARDS database. Because some enhancements can be deployed for specific programs or program types (rather than for the database as a whole), it is important to review each enhancement carefully to see how it is deployed and to determine who you would like it turned on for.
Complete the relevant enhancements request form and save it to your computer. Be sure to complete the "Requestor Information" section, and to provide all of the asked for information for those enhancements you would like to have turned on.
TIP: If your agency sponsored any of the custom enhancements work detailed in a form, that functionality is already live in your AWARDS database and does not need to be requested.
TIP: If any given form contains multiple enhancements you would like to request, you need only the complete that form once.
Email the completed request form to [email protected]. Be sure to send the actual Word document file as an attachment in the e-mail - do NOT copy and paste the content of the document into an e-mail.
Once your enhancement form has been received, we will review it carefully and the requested enhancements will be deployed. A Foothold representative may contact you prior to deployment if, after reviewing your requests, he/she has any concerns about your selections, or if he/she thinks there are enhancements you have not chosen which could be of benefit to you.
