Ask Mobi

Ask about a task in English or Romanian. Answers come from the English guide; I cannot see your account or change a project.

Start with your goal

Where are you in your project?

Browse the full guide below, or choose a path to focus on the chapters you need.

Before you start

Set up the project so the record stays useful later.

1

Use a real project owner account

The project owner controls access, approval status and the project record. Invite collaborators after the project exists.

2

Keep official requirements close

MobilityCloud organises the work, but official Programme Guide and National Agency requirements always remain the source of truth.

3

Work in the project lifecycle order

Start with writing and planning. After approval, continue in the same project with implementation modules.

00

Sidebar menu

Use the left sidebar as your map of the platform.

The sidebar stays available while you work. It takes you to cross-project areas; once you open a project, its own tabs keep the application, implementation and evidence work connected to that project.

MCMobilityCloud‹

Tip The chevron collapses or expands the menu labels; it does not change data.

⌂

Project dashboard

Your starting screen: current projects, funding, priorities, milestones and quick actions.

How to use it: Open it first when you return to MobilityCloud or when you need to choose the next task.
▤

Projects

Lists every project you can access and lets project owners start a new one.

How to use it: Use filters or search to find an existing project; open the project card to enter its workspaces.
✓

My Tasks

Collects tasks assigned to you across accessible projects.

How to use it: Use the status, due-date and text filters to focus on open or overdue work. Completing a task updates the shared project record.
⌕

Search

Finds accessible projects, participants, expenses and documents from one place.

How to use it: Enter at least two characters. Search results take you directly to the relevant project area.
◫

Calendar

Shows project, mobility and other relevant dates together.

How to use it: Use it to spot approaching milestones and check whether project dates have been configured.
▣

Content Library

Stores your organisation’s reusable private writing blocks.

How to use it: Save approved wording here, then reuse and adapt it for new applications without recreating the text.
€

Individual Support

Calculates planning scenarios for Individual Support, travel and Organisational Support unit contributions.

How to use it: Use it for estimates before approval. It does not decide eligibility or replace official rates.
◎

Public Library

Offers public reusable content blocks shared by the MobilityCloud community.

How to use it: Preview a block and import an editable copy into your own Content Library; the public original stays unchanged.
Navigation rule

Use the sidebar to move between areas that belong to your account. Use a project’s internal tabs to work inside that particular project, so you never mix up documents, people or budget data from different projects.

01

Prepare your workspace

Start from your dashboard, not from a folder.

The dashboard brings projects, available funding, current priorities and quick actions into one view. It is the best place to decide what needs attention first.

  1. Review the priority cards.Red and amber items point to incomplete project data, missing evidence or work that is due next.
  2. Open the relevant project.Each project keeps its own application, budget, participants, documents and mobility evidence.
  3. Use Quick actions for repeat work.Create a project, manage expenses, add participants or prepare documents without hunting through menus.
MobilityCloud project dashboard with funding, priorities and quick actions
Illustrative screen The project dashboard highlights funding, readiness and actions that require attention.
Good habit

Open the dashboard whenever you return to the platform. It helps you continue from the most important task rather than from the last tab you used.

02

Create a project

Create one project record for one mobility project.

Choose New project from the dashboard. Add the core identity details carefully; they become the context used across writing, planning and implementation.

  1. Name the project clearly.Use the name your team can recognise in exports, internal discussions and final files.
  2. Select the right action or template.Use a writing template for an application, or create an approved project if the application already exists.
  3. Add dates and partners.Project and mobility dates drive readiness checks; partner names give the project useful working context.
+New projectStep 1 of 2
Before approval

Keep the project in the writing or planning stage until you know the official result. The management modules are designed to continue after you declare approval.

03

Write and review

Use the application workspace one question at a time.

The writing view gives each answer a clear place. Move through the sections, use the guidance where needed and watch the readiness signal before exporting.

Activities and methodologySaved just now

Describe the activities, learning methods, preparation and how participants will be supported before, during and after mobility.

2,184 / 3,000 charactersReadiness 82%
  1. Read the prompt first.Answer the question that is shown, not a general version of it. Keep one clear idea per section.
  2. Wait for automatic saving.Answers save after you stop typing. Check the save indicator before navigating away or exporting.
  3. Review before export.Use readiness checks to locate gaps, then create a PDF or Word working copy for your team review.
03A

Table models

Choose a table only when rows make the answer clearer.

Tables are optional working tools, not official fixed fields. Use normal prose for a question that asks why, how or what you will learn. Add a table when you need to compare several groups, activities, costs, responsibilities or measures.

Write proseOne idea, rationale or explanation

Example: Why is the project needed? How will you prepare participants?

Add a tableRepeated facts that need comparison

Example: several activities, participant groups, costs, indicators or audiences.

  1. Read the exact question.Choose the model whose purpose matches the question, not the one that merely has a familiar name.
  2. Add one table, then name the columns.Select + Add table; type the column names from the chosen model, then use + Add row for every item you need to compare.
  3. Keep the written answer and table complementary.Use the answer field for the explanation and the table for the structured facts. Do not repeat the whole table in prose.

Activity plan

Use when the question asks what you will do, who will take part, when it happens or who is responsible.

Activity Purpose / method Participants Dates / duration Countries Responsible / output

Participant groups

Use when you need to compare national groups, participant profiles, inclusion needs or support roles.

Group / country Number Profile / age Fewer opportunities Support / leaders

Needs and additional costs

Use for a specific need, exceptional cost, inclusion support or other item that needs a clear justification.

Need / cost type Group concerned Description Why necessary Estimated cost

Evaluation matrix

Use when the question asks how objectives, results or impact will be measured.

Objective Indicator Evidence When checked Responsible

Dissemination plan

Use when you must show who will receive results, through which channel and how you will prove the reach.

Audience Message / result Channel Timing Owner Evidence
Keep it simple

Start with the smallest useful table: normally one table per question and only the columns you will actually fill. A table is included in the PDF and Word working exports exactly as you write it; you remain responsible for transferring and checking the final information in the official application system.

04

Declare approval

Move to implementation only after the official result.

When the project is approved, use Mark as Approved in the project Overview and declare the exact approved grant amount. The record then continues into budget, participant, document and mobility workflows.

1Official approval receivedConfirm the grant and project conditions outside MobilityCloud.

3Management modules openCreate practical budget baskets and start implementation.
Important

MobilityCloud is an independent working platform. Approval decisions, contractual obligations and official reporting always remain with the competent National Agency and official systems.

05

Manage implementation

Keep spending and evidence connected to the project.

After approval, the project navigation gives each operational area its own workspace. Start with budget baskets, then add the people, files and daily mobility evidence needed for delivery.

Participants

Add the group when it is known, complete required details and keep participant documents connected.

Check: contacts, documents, status
▣

Documents

Separate project files, generated records and signed copies so the document list remains understandable.

Prepare final files

Archive continuously, not in the final week.

The finalisation stage is easier when the record has been maintained during implementation. Use the checks below before you prepare files for internal review or official reporting.

✓Project details and dates are completeGrant value, project period, mobility period and key organisations are correct.
✓Expenses have supporting evidenceFiles are attached where your team needs them and spending is reviewed by basket.
✓Participant and mobility records are completeRequired participant data and daily activity proof have been reviewed.
✓Documents and outputs are organisedSigned copies, materials, dissemination evidence and links can be found quickly.

Ready for your final preparation

One project record. A clearer handover.

Use the project views and exports as an organised working archive. Verify each official submission requirement separately before sending it.

Practical instructions

Account and first steps

Set up the account that will own the project before entering project data.

How do I start my first project?

Create an account, complete the required billing identity in Account Center, then create a project from Projects. Choose whether you are writing an application or managing a project that is already approved.

  1. Verify your email and sign in.
  2. Open Account Center from the user menu and complete the required billing details.
  3. Open Projects and create a project with a clear name and the appropriate starting stage.
  4. Check project dates and organisations in Settings.
How do I save account details and change my password?

Profile, billing and preference fields save automatically. Changing your password is a separate action in Security.

  1. Edit a profile or billing field and wait for the save confirmation.
  2. For a password change, enter the current password and the new password twice.
  3. Select Update password and resolve any validation messages.
How do I save and export my application?

Application answers save after you stop typing. PDF and Word exports use saved content; they do not submit the application to the funding authority.

  1. Open the Application tab and answer the selected question.
  2. Wait for the save indicator before navigating away or exporting.
  3. Review the character count, section status and consistency across answers.
  4. Export PDF or Word for review, then check the official submission requirements separately.
P02

Practical instructions

Project access and collaboration

Give collaborators access to the project they need, with a role suited to their responsibility.

How do I invite a colleague to a project?

The project owner manages invitations through Project access. The invitation must be accepted before the colleague can use the shared project.

  1. Open the project and select Project access.
  2. Enter the colleague’s email and choose the role shown in the invitation form.
  3. Send the invitation and ask them to accept it using the invited email address.
  4. Review access in the same panel when responsibilities change.
Why can I view a project but not edit it?

Available controls depend on your project role and project stage. Viewers have read-only access; restricted mobility roles see only the relevant operational modules. Some lifecycle and access actions remain with the owner.

  1. Confirm that you opened the intended project and signed in with the invited email.
  2. Check your access label in the project.
  3. Ask the owner to review your role through Project access if your responsibilities require editing.
Why does a field say someone else is editing?

Editing locks help prevent two people overwriting the same work. They are separate from your project permissions.

  1. Read the collaborator name shown beside the locked area.
  2. Coordinate with that person and wait for them to finish.
  3. Return to the area after the lock is released. If it remains stuck, contact support with the project and module name.
P03

Practical instructions

Approval and budget

Keep the approved grant distinct from day-to-day budget allocations and recorded expenses.

How do I mark a project as approved?

After receiving the official decision, use the approval action in the project Overview. Enter the exact approved grant and review the displayed management fee before confirming. The approved grant is locked after declaration.

  1. Open Overview and select Mark as Approved when available for the current stage.
  2. Enter the approved amount and the requested project reference or evidence.
  3. Review the amount and displayed fee, then confirm.
  4. Continue in the implementation modules. Contact support if the declared grant needs correction.
How do I record an expense with supporting evidence?

Add the expense to the relevant budget basket and attach its evidence to that expense. The project budget is a management record, not a replacement for your accounting records.

  1. Open Budget and choose the appropriate basket.
  2. Add the expense with a clear description, date, amount and currency.
  3. Attach the invoice, receipt or other supporting file using the expense upload action.
  4. Review the basket total and remaining balance.
How do I move money between budget baskets?

Transfer budget reallocates an amount between existing baskets. It does not change the declared approved grant or decide whether a transfer is allowed under your funding agreement.

  1. Open Budget and choose Transfer budget.
  2. Select the source and destination baskets and enter the amount.
  3. Review the balances and your project’s applicable conditions before confirming.
How are different currencies handled?

Project currency settings hold the conversion rates used by the project. Check these settings and the currency on each expense before relying on converted totals.

  1. Open project Settings and review Project currencies.
  2. Check each currency code and the rate convention displayed beside the field.
  3. Return to Budget to verify the expense currency and converted totals against your source documents.
P04

Practical instructions

Participants and registration

Use manual entry for individual records, CSV for groups, and form links for participant self-registration.

How do I import participants from CSV?

Use the platform’s blank CSV template so that the column names match the importer. Participant imports accept CSV or text files up to 5 MB.

  1. Open Participants → Import / export CSV.
  2. Download the blank CSV template and fill it without changing its column headings.
  3. Upload a small sample first and read any row-level errors.
  4. Correct the file and check the imported register before adding the rest of the group.
How do I share a participant registration form?

Participants can complete a public registration form. You can use a general project form or a link for one mobility, without giving participants access to your project workspace.

  1. Open Participants and choose Create form link or Manage form links.
  2. Create the general link or the link for the intended mobility.
  3. Copy it and share it with the intended participants.
  4. Review submitted records and close the link when registration has ended.
Why are participant records marked incomplete?

The register checks the data and files expected for participants. A missing-data indicator is a prompt to review the record; it does not assess official eligibility.

  1. Open the participant record and review the missing fields or documents indicated.
  2. Upload the relevant participant files to the correct record.
  3. Use search and filters to check other incomplete records.
P05

Practical instructions

Documents and signed copies

Keep general files, generated records and signed versions connected to the right project records.

Where should I upload project documents?

Use Documents for general project files. Expense evidence belongs with its expense, participant files with the participant, and daily mobility evidence with the relevant mobility.

  1. Open Documents → Files for general project uploads.
  2. Choose a recognisable title and category.
  3. Use the document list and filters to find the file later.
  4. Check the document checklist for records that still need attention.
How do I add a signed attendance sheet or report?

A generated record and its signed copy are different files. Attach the signed version through that record’s signed-copy action so the platform can track it correctly.

  1. Generate or download the required attendance sheet or expense report.
  2. Collect the signatures outside MobilityCloud.
  3. Find the generated record in Documents and select Upload signed copy.
  4. Check that the signed-copy status is updated and include the relevant records in the final archive.
Why can I not find a document I uploaded?

Start by checking the project, module and filters. Uploading a file to an expense or participant does not place it in every document list.

  1. Confirm that you are in the correct project.
  2. Clear search terms and filters.
  3. Check whether the upload was attached to an expense, participant or mobility instead of general project files.
  4. If the upload showed an error, resolve it and upload again.
P06

Practical instructions

Mobility, dissemination and feedback

Organise delivery evidence while activities are happening, rather than collecting everything at the end.

How do I organise mobility evidence?

Use the Mobility module to keep activity information, daily evidence, materials and outputs associated with the correct mobility.

  1. Open Mobility and select the relevant mobility record.
  2. Check dates and the participating group.
  3. Add evidence to the relevant day or section with clear titles.
  4. Review materials, outputs and dissemination records before finalisation.
How do I collect participant feedback?

Feedback forms provide public response links for a selected mobility. The results are anonymous; avoid asking respondents to identify themselves in free-text answers.

  1. Open Feedback in the project and choose the form you want to use.
  2. Create a link for the intended mobility and give it a clear title.
  3. Share the link with participants, then review the results in the campaign.
  4. Use the anonymous results PDF when preparing your evidence.
P07

Practical instructions

Tasks and project priorities

Distinguish automatic checks from the follow-up work assigned to your team.

How do I assign and follow up on tasks?

Team tasks are manual reminders. Stage priorities are generated from the project data; completing a manual task does not automatically fix missing project information.

  1. Open Overview → Team tasks and select Add task.
  2. Describe the action, choose an assignee and set the deadline and priority.
  3. Use My Tasks to review work across projects.
  4. Mark the task complete after doing the work in the relevant module.
Does a readiness score mean my project is approved or compliant?

No. Readiness highlights missing information and records to review. It is not a funding decision, a compliance certificate or a guarantee that a submission is complete.

  1. Open the relevant priority or checklist item.
  2. Correct the underlying information or evidence.
  3. Review official requirements separately before submitting your application or final report.
P08

Practical instructions

Fees and billing

Writing is free. The management fee is a one-time charge for an approved project, not a monthly subscription.

How much does MobilityCloud cost?

The current global management fee is 0.5% of the approved grant, payable after the first grant instalment. A negotiated percentage or fixed amount may apply to your account. Check the fee shown when declaring approval and the invoice for your project.

  1. Write and prepare the application without a writing charge.
  2. At approval, review the management fee shown for that project.
  3. The agreed project fee is saved at approval; a later global rate change does not reprice it.
  4. Follow the payment instructions on the invoice after the first instalment arrives.
Who can correct, cancel or refund an invoice?

Contact MobilityCloud support about an incorrect invoice, cancellation or refund. Platform administrators manage these changes; an organisation user cannot cancel its own invoice from the project.

  1. Provide the project name and invoice reference, plus the correction you need.
  2. Use the contact page for billing support.
  3. For a paid invoice, the administrator records a refund after the money has been returned through the external payment process.
Do I have to pay before managing an approved project?

Implementation modules become available when approval is declared. Payment follows the first grant instalment. The current platform does not block final exports until payment; your role and project stage still determine which actions are available.

  1. Declare the approved grant accurately.
  2. Continue preparing budgets, participants, documents and evidence.
  3. Pay the management invoice according to its payment instructions.
P09

Practical instructions

Final archive: selection, preparation and download

Prepare a handover copy from the saved project data, and know which version you are downloading.

Finalisation screen: 1 downloads the saved ZIP, 2 prepares a fresh archive, and 3 opens Mobi’s help for the current export status.
Actual screen · sample project 1 · Download the prepared ZIP. 2 · Include later changes with Prepare fresh archive. 3 · Open Mobi for steps matched to the current status. Select the image to enlarge it.
How do I download the final project archive?

Finalisation brings together advisory checks, content selection and ZIP preparation. The archive is a snapshot of your project data and selected files, not an official final-report submission.

  1. Open Finalisation and review the suggested checks.
  2. Select the categories you want to include; selections save automatically.
  3. Select Prepare archive and wait for processing to finish. You can leave and return.
  4. Select Download ZIP and review the index and files before sharing.
Does my downloaded archive include the latest changes?

An existing ZIP keeps the saved snapshot from its preparation. Editing the project does not update an already generated ZIP. Use Prepare fresh archive to include later changes.

  1. Check the Prepared date displayed beside Download ZIP.
  2. If you changed data or files after that date, select Prepare fresh archive.
  3. Wait for the new ZIP and download that copy.
My ZIP expired or preparation failed. What should I do?

Download links are temporary and normally expire after 24 hours. An expired or failed archive can be prepared again; this does not remove the project’s source data.

  1. Read the status beside the archive controls.
  2. Use Prepare again after an expiry or failed preparation.
  3. For a persistent failure, note the message and project name and contact support.
What is included in the final archive?

You choose categories such as project data, application, participants, budget, signed agreements, generated records, project files, mobility, dissemination and feedback. The source-record count is not a promise of the same number of ZIP files.

  1. Review each category and its description in Finalisation.
  2. Include the relevant generated records and signed evidence.
  3. Open the archive index after downloading and check the actual contents.
  4. Store and share it securely: it may contain personal and financial data and is not password-protected.
P10

Practical instructions

When something does not work

Use the visible message and the correct project context to narrow down the problem.

What should I do if changes do not save?

A validation message, connection problem or editing lock can prevent a save. Mobi cannot see your account or confirm whether a change was saved.

  1. Read any field errors and the save indicator.
  2. Keep a temporary copy of important unsaved text before refreshing.
  3. Check the connection and whether another colleague is editing the same area.
  4. If it persists, contact support with the page, steps and exact message; never include your password.
What can Mobi answer or do for me?

Mobi finds prepared answers from this public guide. It does not use an external AI service, read your account, modify projects or provide official funding decisions. Questions are matched in your browser and are not sent to an AI provider.

  1. Ask about a module, button or task in English or Romanian. Answers use the English guide text.
  2. Choose a suggested question when more than one topic matches.
  3. Use Read in guide to open the source. Contact support for account-specific questions.
