General tips for using Fluxx 

  • For optimal performance, we recommend that you use one of these four browsers: Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Safari, or Firefox when using the portal. 
  • The portal will resize to fit your browser’s window size. 
  • There is no auto save function in the portal. Be sure to save your work frequently. 
  • Keep in mind that applications, grants, claims, and reports will move to different sections of the portal as they are reviewed and approved. 
  • When editing a record, the sidebar will become grey and options cannot be selected until Save or Cancel is clicked. This ensures that you can not click away and lose your work before saving. 
  • The portal is designed so that you can edit and saved your application and/or report as many times as you wish before submitting it. 
  • Be sure to click the Submit button after you have saved your application or report if it is complete and ready to be submitted. If the application or report is not submitted, Council Staff will assume you are still working on it. 
  • Only the people named in an application will have access to the record in the portal. Be sure that those who need access are named in the application. 
  • Be sure to keep the contacts for your organization current, especially if they are one of the people named on the application. Your organization’s moderator can remove users from your organization. 
  • Each person in your organization should have their own log in credentials. Do not share your log in credentials with other people from your organization. 
  • Your organization’s moderator can add new users to your organization. 
  • For questions regarding how to answer specific application questions please review the relevant program guides and direct any lingering questions to Council Staff.

If you have received a grant from the Metropolitan Council in the past, you should have an account established in Fluxx. You can access this account by resetting your password. Be sure to use the email that was associated with your previous WebGrants account.

Yes. Do not begin a separate draft application each time you log in to Fluxx. Save your draft application before you log out of Fluxx. The ‘Save’ button is at the bottom right of the screen. After you save your draft, you can return to it at any time by clicking on ‘Draft Applications’ in the Navigation Pane. 

Please contact Council Staff, and we will delete any unnecessary records. To avoid creating multiple drafts, check your ‘Draft Applications’ folder in the Navigation Pane each time you log into Fluxx. 

  • If your application is still in draft, you can delete any incorrect documents at the bottom of your application. 
  • If your application is already submitted, Council staff will need to remove the incorrect document(s). Please contact us with any concerns. 

Most likely, this message means that the documents you uploaded were classified incorrectly. Please return to the draft application and change the documents’ classification. Use the drop-down menu to update the document type. Then click ‘Update Document.’ Then save the application again. If this doesn’t resolve the error, contact Council Staff.
