ApplySG user guide
ApplySG overview
ApplySG is a no-code platform that lets government agencies build, launch and run form-based workflows, such as grants, regulatory approvals and internal approvals. You configure forms, approval workflows and access in a web interface. Applicants and officers then use dedicated portals to submit and process applications.
ApplySG complies with IM8 Reform and supports state-based and role-based access control.
ApplySG powers four portals:
| Portal | Used for |
|---|---|
| Business Grants Portal | Business grants and support schemes |
| Research Grants Portal | Research grants |
| ApplySG Portal | Generic applications and regulatory approvals |
| ApplySG Portal (Public Officers) | Government internal workflows, such as HR and finance |
