The Select Prior Year Projects allows the user to copy a project from a previous year forward to edit. This keeps the user from entering the same request from year to year if resubmission is necessary. To perform the function, log into eCORTS and click "Select Prior Year Projects."

In the Select Prior Year Projects section, select the year the request was submitted from the years listed under "Choose a Prior Fiscal Year." After you have done that, the list of project titles will appear from that year. Click on the title of the project to copy forward to the current year. A confirmation box will appear asking if you are sure you would like to copy project from a previous year to the current year, click "Copy Project."

You have copied that project forward. It is not submitted yet, just copied to the current year for you to edit. When you are finished copying projects and would like to return to the active year to edit the projects you copied forward, click "Return to Active Year." You will be directed back to the current year. The projects you copied will be there to click on to edit.
