Crimson Feature of the Month: FEC Report Scheduler

Last week, CMDI released the new FEC Report Scheduler just in time for the next FEC deadline on April 15. In this edition of Crimson Feature of the Month, we’ll walk through detailed directions on how to use this new feature to schedule the upload times for your completed filings.

Please note: while this feature can allow you to start uploading your report at a scheduled time, please avoid filing close to midnight in case of any unforeseen circumstances.

Note: if you need help on creating the report, please see the Creating an FEC Report guide on the Helpdesk.
