Grid for User Roles
Could you please create a grid with check boxes for each type of role. I think it would be easier to compare the access visually.

Allow more than one application form per process
It would streamline our grant process to be able to have more than one application form per process. This way, applicants can select their area of focus in a more generic LOI form and be assigned the appropriate application form if invited to the next stage.
This means we could ask more in-depth questions in the application that are tailored to the priority area, without needing multiple processes or an incredibly lengthy application form. Thanks for your consideration!

Email format in Organization View
We give grants to non-profits and international organizations. . . . .many of whom have email addresses ending in ".org", or other international designations.
PLEASE don't restrict my email address format to " mailto:name@domain.com "

Import / upload data from Excel to report fields, organization profiles...
Hi all,
Sorry if this has been addressed elsewhere. I am new to the community but did a couple of searches.
Anyway, one thing that would really help me out is if I could import data in bulk from Excel (either a .xls or .csv, doesn't really matter) to the GLM. Two specific things I would use this for:
-Adding or updating info within organization profiles (many of them didn't put in their websites, for ex)
-Inputting data when I'm approving a bunch of grants (the grant $ amount / installments, some report fields we use for internal coding, etc.)

Board Member View of Grants - Add a Column for Requested Amount
When Board members view grants under Application Evaluation (Board Member), the grants come up in columns: Process, Organization, Applicant, Project, Score Status. Would it be possible to add a column for "Requested Amount?" Our Board members would like to be able to sort the grants by the amount of money being requested. In this way, they can quickly find the grants requesting larger amounts of money and review them first; giving them a higher priority. This would speed up their review process. Thank you.

Changing character count to word count
I searched and didn't see this in the idea archive. We receive a lot of compliants about character count. I am guessing character count gives you a better estimate of space needed but folks are accustomed to using word count for other applications. I think word count is the norm.

Social media info as part of organization database?
Hi everyone,
I'm the new kid on the block, client #491. :)
I'm wondering if Foundant has given thought to including twitter and facebook IDs into the registration page for organizations?
I've found that interacting by social media has been a great way to get a handle on what's happening in a charity.
Many thanks,

"Save as Draft"
It would be helpful if there were also a "Save as Draft" button at the top, in addition to the one at the bottom, of grant applications, etc. Or at least a message somewhere near the Question Legend icon at the top informing users that they need to regularly save and the button to do this is at the bottom of the page.

batch delete abandoned applications
I would like to have the option to batch delete abandoned
requests -- it’s tedious having to delete them one by one. Could this be an
option listed at the bottom of the “Search Requests & Decisions” page? I
can understand not wanting folks to accidentally delete other items on this
page. With this in mind, could it be built to only appear as an option when a
search is done for abandoned requests?

Reports - Export to Excel
I have noticed that when you export a report to Excel, all the numbers are stored as text. Although it can be done, it's a pain to have to convert them to numbers if you want to work with them as numbers in Excel. So, I suggest in a future release that all numbers in a Report export to Excel as numbers.

kimberly@stratphilanthropy.com
Can we please have interfaces with more contrast? The use of white text on a light background in the new Idea Lab is very hard to navigate. The "Proposed Idea" ribbon is completely illegible on my monitor. Without hovering a mouse over it, I'd have no idea what it says.

email history
It would be helpful to be able to build a report that demonstrates the status of an application based on email. For example, an application that has been denied, whether they have been emailed and the status of the email (ie whether they have opened it). Right now we are tracking that outside of GLM. Thanks!

SLM Comment button position
Perhaps we leave an inordinate amount of comments (?) but it is driving me crazy that I have to scroll all the way to the bottom to hit the Add Comment button. Can that show up at the top instead.
Thank you for all your attention.1 vote -
Text Ranking with Score
We would love the ability to display ranking options in text to our evaluators, such as
Extremely Clear
Very Clear
Somewhat Clear
Not So Clear
Not at All ClearBUT - We'd like to store them as numeric data so that
Extremely Clear =5
Very Clear =4
Somewhat Clear =3
Not So Clear =2
Not at All Clear =1To be clear, we don't want to show the numeric to the evaluator, just the text.
Currently, we use a complicated formula to calculate the data.1 vote -
Grant applications searched for by using the "Referred by" field
Issue: Board members want to be able to view and export a grant application list that were referred by them.
Provide ability to search for grant applications with "Referred by" search term with pull-down menu from the "Referred by" field.1 vote -
Internal follow-ups viewable by applicant?
In line with Trust-Based Philanthropy, more and more foundations are completing verbal reporting with grantees, where the foundation staff completes the written follow-up form based on a conversation with a grantee. We have been doing this as an internal follow-up form, but would like the option for the grantee to view what we've typed into the form and confirm that it is accurate and complete before submitting the report and marking it as complete. Other than downloading each follow-up form packet as a PDF and emailing it to them for their manual feedback, is there a way to either:

Additional Evaluations
We have several stages of evaluation; the two evaluations are not sufficient for us to be able to understand and assess applications effectively. It would be helpful if we could add additional evaluations, as needed, by process.

Batch Deny to Move to Denial Draft
It would be a huge timesaver if there were an option for Batch Denied applications to be move to Denial Draft.
If you have a lot of applications, it takes a a very long time to do this one application at a time.

revert status
I'd like to request more control over the "Revert Status" function in SLM. Batch revert capability would be wonderful, and also the ability to choose from any stage in the cycle to revert to rather than having to revert one step at a time (i.e. from denied to denial draft, then from denial draft to complete).

EIN Population in Merge Template
Hello! It would be really useful for us to have the EIN / Tax ID data box as a merge field for merge templates. We want to add an organization's EIN to our Invoice merge template for verification purposes and were surprised it wasn't already an available merge field.
