  1. In SLM, I think it's good to make a telephone number a required field, but it would be nice to have a checkbox next to it to categorize it as "Mobile" or "Mobile #" since most students these days only have that anyway. Otherwise, they end up typing their mobile number in the second field needlessly.

  2. Need the system to generate a score for the application based on how questions on the application are answered. For example: a GPA between 3.8-4.0 would receive 10 pts, 3.6-3.79 would receive 8 pts, etc. This could be a % score.

  3. Currently the columns in tables are all the same width, but there are use cases where it would make sense for one column to be wider than another.

    For example, in our budget we have 5 columns - Expense, Request, Cash Match, In-Kind Match, and Calculation/Description. By my calculation if you have 5 columns only 33 characters are visible at one time. However, in our use case, 3 of the fields would not contain more than 7 characters (plus the characters for the column headings). Being able to resize those columns would free more real estate for fields where users…

  4. In the SLM Follow Up Drafts bucket, I am trying to add a Process Name as a column and there doesn't seem to be a way to do that. This would be helpful so we can see follow up assigned across multiple SLM processes.

  5. Currently, for active processes, there are three visibility options: Public, Restricted, and Internal.

    Public: Visible to applicants; applicants able to apply when open
    Internal: Not visible to applicants
    Restricted: Only visible to applicants with the corresponding access code

    Based on the use of our applicants & grantees, I would love to see a fourth option added that would allow a process to be visible to applicants, but locked, so that applicants would need an access code to apply. Essentially a restricted visibility where the applicants could still view the process as if it were public, but still requiring a code.

  6. Currently, when I create a table that may have an unknown number of rows used (such as asking applicants to list the date, time, location of grant-funded events), I just have to guess at what might be the right number of rows to add. If an applicant only uses one row of 10 available, the application packet will still print all 10 rows and use up a lot of space. Can blank rows be collapsed in the application packet?

    (Even better would be to allow applicants to add rows if needed, but I suspect that's more complicated.)

  7. After more than 6 years at Foundant, I still forget to click Save Summary when editing process summary bc it is usually out of my line of sight. Clients do this all the time. Moving it into line of vision would really help people not lose changes.

  8. Currently, when you go to Create Documents and Choose File Uploads, the second column displays Form Type (Followup) for all of the documents, instead of Form Name (specific follow-ups like Interim Report or Final Report).
    We'd love to be able to see Form Name to know which follow-up form we are selecting, as we print out interim reports for review before sending our next grant installment.

  9. On the "Merge Templates" page, it would be helpful if we could arrange and view the merge documents in order by column header, specifically by date or alphabetically.

  10. We would like to be able to track applicant clicks through the system so we can see if changes made impact user abandon rates in certain parts of their online journey with us. For example, when/where in the process do they give up? This would allow us to identify where we might need better instructions or a change in the questions or flow.

  11. I'd like to have a DocuSign bucket/status box added to the DashBoard, just like the buckets for all other forms and their statuses (LOI, Applicaiton... FollowUps, etc.) to ease tracking the status of our grant agreements.

  12. Our Evaluators need to know what an organization's mission statement is to accurately evaluate proposals. This information is currently stored in the organization profile and cannot be viewed by evaluators. I think that selected fields from the organization profile should be visible to evaluators.

  13. The addition of the subtotal function within tables is great, but more is needed for it to be compatible with my workflow. In particular, I would like to be able to have a subtotal that captures other subtotals.

    For example, I have one grant that has three funding categories, and one non-funding category. I can subtotal each of the three funding categories, but it won't let me then see a subtotal of those three added together, only the total of the three funding categories plus the non-funding category (which I also need, but I want to see both). Otherwise I…

  14. Often I have a series of yes/no questions that might be easier or less intimidating to an applicant if they were in a single table. While I know that I can create that using a drop down menu, it would require less of the system, and potentially move faster if it were a choice for a column setting. The same concept (creating a column setting) would also be useful to number rows that data is entered in.

  15. LOI - generally called a Letter of Intent - we call it a Letter of Introduction. It's kind of an 'elevator speech' for applicants where we get a snapshot of some financial needs (we ask for up to 3). We use is as a guide and have a phone conversation with the applicant once the LOI is submitted. depending on our yearly goals, we may pass on this applicant for the year, but want to keep them for the next year.

    It would be great to have a 'stand-alone' LOI that can be branched to an application at another date…

  16. It would be very helpful to have the evaluation option available in the follow-up phase like the LOI and application phases. We use follow-up forms for reporting and having the option to add an evaluation to a follow-up form would be a great way for our team to save grantee report review notes within Foundant. (We currently save notes in Word and upload to the documents section, but having a built in feature to evaluate reports would be much better.)

  17. It would be helpful to have different font options when creating or modifying email templates. We have noticed that when our templates are exported (or sent to applicants), the font type changes inconsistently. Some sections will be Ariel and others Segoe. It's hard to tell if the different fonts are present in GLM, but we would like the ability to highlight/ select all and then choose one font type.

  18. Having a calendar in GLM for grant renewal dates and reporting dates that can be synced to appear on outlook or google calendar. One could click on the calendar event which would link directly to the approved application for the grant.

  20. It would be nice to have a 'phone number' question type to select when creating an application so that the applicant doesn't have to worry about how to format their phone number when entering it. Something like --xxxx would be great so that every phone number entry followed the same formating.
