# Configure scripted extension points in Grants Management

Enable publishing of grant programs and authorized representative activities.

## Before you begin

Role required: admin

**Note:** Verify your application scope is set to **Global** by selecting the application picker \(\[Omitted image "globe-fill-24.svg"\]\) in the Unified Navigation bar and selecting **Application Scope** > **Global**.

## Procedure

1.  Navigate to **All** > **Scripted Extension Points** > **Scripted Extension Points**.

2.  In the API name column, search for `sn_svc_appl_pgm_mg.PublishGrantProgram` and select the record.

3.  Under Related Links, select **Create Implementation**.

    The system creates and registers a new Script Include as an extension point instance.

4.  In the dropdown next to **Accessible from** field, select **All application scopes**.

5.  Select **Update**.

6.  Verify the implementation by publishing a grant program and confirming it moves to the **Accepting Applications** state.

    If you're creating a custom playbook, perform these additional steps to make sure you reference the intended playbook definition:

    1.  Open the intended playbook definition record and copy its `sys_id` from the record header menu or the record URL.

    2.  On the extension point implementation, set the **process\_definition** field to that `sys_id`.

        If the field is not on the form, add it by using form layout, or edit it from the record list.

    3.  Select **Update**.

    4.  Reopen the proposal and confirm the activity now appears.

        The activity list on a proposal is resolved from the playbook definition referenced in `process_definition`. If it points to a different playbook, such as the base-system proposal playbook, activities that exist only in the intended playbook don't display.


## Result

The publishing extension point is implemented. Grant programs and authorized representative activities can now be published. Publishing a grant program moves it to the Accepting Applications state and makes it available to contacts for proposals.
