The Coeus application provides the function called Medusa that allows a User to see the connection points between the various Proposal modules and their records. Once a Proposal Development record has completed the Routing & Approval process, a corresponding Institute Proposal record is created. In the event that a proposal is revised and Resubmitted to the sponsor, a new Proposal Development record is generated that will then connect to the original IP.

To Access Medusa

1. Start by opening either the Proposal Development, Institute Proposal, or Negotiation modules.

2. Complete a search for the desired record.

3. Select the desired record from the Search Results List.

4. With your record highlighted, go to Edit > Medusa -or- click the "Medusa"  icon.
