Mark an application that you would like to revisit
I would love to have the option to mark a submission/application as revisit. This is where we are not pursuing funds at this time, but we are interested enough to put their application in the "revisit" it will push it to the next cycle instead of flat out deny request.

Ability to link incoming e-mails directly to a request/organization
In order to facilitate the archival of correspondance linked to an organization or a request, we try to always send e-mails directrly from Foundant (using the "Send (no template)" option.
However, the responses come to our Outlook inbox and we have to save them somewhere in order to upload them in the Document section of the organization or request. It takes time and it does not allow us to view all correspondance in one place (e-mail history).
There is a lot of back and forth with applicants and grantees, so that would be very useful!
14 votesWe are continuing to understand the needs and workflows for emails that need to come back into the system.
What providers are people using?
Are there emails other than responses to system messages that need to live in the system?
If an email was sent in relation to a request, example for submitted, where would you want to view that email from?
Any thoughts are very helpful

Indicator of which follow up you're viewing under a request
It would be helpful when reviewing follow ups under a request to be able to tell which follow up you're currently viewing. We have to toggle between follow up sometimes during our review process, and the questions within the forms are mostly the same, the follow ups are tagged for the year it is to be submitted, though as you toggle back and forth it's hard to identify under which follow up you're under to provide approval/recommendations.

follow up due date entry field
It would help to eliminate the globe icon in the Due Date box. It takes up too much space and makes it difficult to see/enter the date you want.

Access code
Applicant's often ask me about a Access Code. We never use them.
It would be helpful if you can include a statement at the end of where it says .... "at the top of this page..." another sentance that says "If you you have not been provided an access code - please click on the home button above.6 votes -
Turn off Copying for Third Party Questions
If returning applicants use the copy feature, unfortunately, the system also copies their previously received third party letters of recommendation. In other words, letters of recommendation from the prior grant cycle are copied to the new application.
Please allow us to turn off copying for third party questions.

Request ID number
We would like to be able to identify a particular request or award by an ID number, and then search for requests based on that number. I wish Foundant assigned a simple ID to each request or award. (not the 32 digit GUID, which is not usuable).
I know we could add an internal field and assign our own number, but there could be duplication or errors in that process.

Transfer of info to next year's application
Some of our scholarships are available to students already in college, so they can apply multiple years in a row. It would therefore be nice to provide a feature in the SLM universal application in which they can transfer certain items/ answers from one year's universal app to another. This would save them time. Perhaps we could determine what we would allow to be transferred when we set up each new universal app, or what questions MUST be answered by all. Again, time saver for returning applicants.

'Archive' button in GLM reports?
Please could we add an 'archive' button or feature to the reporting section so reports or data sets can be hidden from the main page but not deleted? Right now the options are to have a cluttered reports page, or delete entirely.

SLM/GLM ability for Applicants to Chat with Foundation staff
A Chat feature to be able to help students in the moment could be very helpful.
Student behavior - Once they leave an application it is hard to get them back to finish it. Students are used to using a CHAT feature when they need help. They often won't pick up a phone for help & are hesitant to send emails.
I would rather help them in the moment then spend time on my Dashboard figuring out why they have some applications in draft, some in submitted and emailing them how to keep going. (Students often don't read emails)

Adding Hyperlink Capability for Applicants
Several applicants have asked how to add hyperlinks to their applications. Please allow hyperlinks on future applications. There is often a character or word count limit for open calls (due to the high submission numbers) and hyperlinks are an invaluable tool for applicants.
6 votesAre you looking for this to be allowed in a text area responses or a separate area for links?

track response to evaluation question
Can we add a feature to reporting to be able to pull responses to specific questions on the evaluation forms? I have a question that is an action item: Refer to Board, Ask for more info, or deny app.
I need a way to count the # of responses to this question by their answer. We use this + eval rubric score to assess the quality of the applications we receive. I've not been able to figure out how to pull this in the reporting module.

EIN Prepopulating Organization Names
Would it be possible in the future for applicants to type in their EIN and it would prepopulate their Organization Name? It would help ensure that there aren't differences in spelling/format between organization names and would get rid of some steps for our merge template creation!

UA Opportunity Printing
In the UA, it would be nice if we could print a pdf of individual opportunities for the donor(s) to review that only has the eligibility questions and supplemental questions of the individual opportunity listed.

Change Check # to Payment # in Installments
Since COVID, most foundations have moved away from paper checks to ACH payments. It would be helpful to change the name of the field in Installments/Make a Payment from Check Number to Payment Number.

Remove "Rating" as a required field for Evaluations
Remove the Rating system from Evaluations as a required field.
Our Evaluations never show as Complete even when they are because we do not use a rating system to evaluate grants.2 votes -
Using Multiple Docusign accounts
When sending documents through DocuSign via Foundant we want to let multiple people be able to do it. At the moment Foundant only allows it to be connected to one account so other people are not able to receive the documents that they sent out on DocuSign. If there was a way to have separate Foundant accounts connected to different DocuSign keys.
