Forms — Collaborations & Partnerships
Module:
collaborations(Module #10) · See blueprint:docs/blueprints/collaborations.mdAll forms below are internal (admin / module-admin login required). The partnership ledger reads often, writes rarely; UI tone follows

Workflow notes
- A Partner detail page rolls up: Profile + all MOUs + all Joint Programs + all Visits + all Shared Resources as a chronological timeline.
- MOU expiry reminders flow through Comms via the
mou_renewal_t30/t90/t7templates; the cron jobexpiring_mous(within_days=90)runs daily at 8am IST. - Visit accommodation cross-links to Asset Management; if Asset Mgmt is not yet deployed, the room field accepts free-text and is later promoted to FK.
- Shared Resource value above the configurable tenant threshold (default ₹50k) routes through Audit two-key approval before the record can be saved.
- All Sanskrit-rendered fields preserve VijayaDV PUA characters verbatim.
Country != Indiaon a Partner profile flags any associated joint-program funding to be FCRA-tracked in Vitta.
