preferred gender pronouns
It would be really helpful to ask all system users/contacts for their preferred gender pronouns (e.g. she/her/hers, he/him/his, they/them/their, and so on). In this day and age, it's important to people to be correctly addressed.
10 votesHello,
This can be added to the user form today. One piece we have heard is that this should be more visible in other areas of the software, if you could please call out where you would expect to see this information

Batch Create Merge letters from Approval Buckets
For our GLM Processes, we typically create all of our Merge Grant Letters once the applications are moved into the Approval Buckets. Once these are in the approval buckets and we go to create the letters we have to go into each application one by one > create word docs > export > update > save etc... It would be awesome if we could batch create our letters by selecting the checkboxes on the approval bucket page and export 1 word doc with each letter having it's own page on that doc. This would allow us to create, export and…

Applicant Filter
From the SLM Dashboard we have the ability to Filter by Processes. In the same way it would be great to be able to Filter by Applicant.
We do not use universal application so this filter would allow us to group, screen and use Batch options based on an applicant name.
2 votesWe recently introduced Filters to the workload grids. Through these filters, you can narrow down the list by applicant name. Reach out to support@foundant.com to learn more, and please let us know if this helps you manage your workflows.

Allow evaluators to track the amount of money they have spent as they are going through applications
We have had several evaluators ask for there to be a way to see the amount of money they have recommended be allocated in total as they are going through all of the applications they have been assigned. As we give them a budget for each process, this would be helpful in seeing how close they are getting to that budget.

Branching logic in printable form for admins.
Building forms with many branching questions groups can get confusing. It would be nice, as an admin, to be able to see how each question group is branched within a form without having to click on each one.

Submit Button that can be greyed out with "wrong answers" to questions
It would be nice on forms, if the Submit button can be greyed out if a specific answer to a question is selected. Or if we could select rules for the submit button much like branching questions.
1 voteHello Penny,
What sort of rules would like to see related to the submit button?

Quick access to recent searches
It would be great to have quick access to recently searched or recently modified/accessed requests or organizations. I find myself in and out of a lot of requests in one day and it would be nice to have quicker access to recent ones without having to re-search each time. I saw someone posted this previously with 9 votes but it was archived. Thanks.
5 votesHello Katy,
have you tried using the auto search feature on request and decision, does this help meet the need OR would you have the idea of named searches you can frequently reference.

Tracking Conversations and Meetings with Non-Profit Organizations
My manager and I are looking for a way to track our interactions with non-profit organizations within Foundant. We frequently have conversations, tours, and meetings with these organizations and want to keep a comprehensive history for internal tracking purposes within Foundant.
I have been told there is no current feature in Foundant that allows us to input and monitor this information. This could be a very helpful feature for donors and their administrations to track and keep a running record.

Adding organization name in Follow Ups
Our grant agreements in Follow Ups in Foundant GLM. We are looking to add the system Organization Name field in the follow up form. Since the available options on Follow Up forms don't allow me to pull system field info, I've had to ask for applicants to type "Organization Name" info on all applications just so that I can share this on the Follow Up (Grant Agreement). It would be easier if I could pull directly from the Org Info page on the follow up.

copy request
Could we make the "This request was created as a copy by..." message more prominent? It would help if it jumped out at us so that we can do the required cleanup after a request has been copied.
2 votesCan you please share the message you are referring to.
Also, it would be helpful to understand the clean up need because that might give us the idea for other opportunities to make the tool easier to use.

Automatic emails to evaluators
When evaluators are assigned applications as a batch action, it would be really helpful if an automatic email could go out to each evaluator letting them know they have been assigned applications for a particular process (one email per process, not per application). Currently, the only way evaluators can receive an automatic email is if each application is assigned one by one. That's time-consuming for the person assigning the evaluators, and that would generate a lot of individual emails to each evaluator. Having automatic emails go out to evaluators after batch assignments are made would eliminate the current two-step process…

Evaluator 1 & 2 Required Question Flag
I would like to see Evaluator 1 & 2 forms have a hard stop if someone does not answer the required questions in their form. The same type of message applicants receive when they miss a question.
Currently, they can save the form and do not receive a warning they have missed any questions. Staff must check each evaluation to see if someone does not answer a question(s), call/email the evaluator, get them to log back into the system, complete the question(s), and we have to rerun our reports. It is very time consuming. Evaluators get cranky when they get…

Reviewer assignments -suggestion for reviewers to access app's at later date
It would be great to be able to assign reviewers to applications on X date, but for the reviewers to not be able to access the applications until a later date and time that could be set in Foundant.

Batch Assign Applications to Evaluators by Applicant Name Automatically
We have about 60 scholarships, 200 applicants (1,100 applications), and 32 reviewers every year. When I assign applications for review, I want every student to be assigned to 2 reviewers. And I want all reviewers to have roughly the same number of applicants/students (not applications since we use Universal App). So I sort the applications by applicant name, and then manually click all applications for students x, y, z, and then batch assign to 2 reviewers. I have to repeat this process for all 1,100 applications in the system. I would love for there to be an automated way to…

copy previous answers
We are currently use processes for each scholarship we hold at our Foundation. We have a scholarship advisory committee for each scholarship. We have some people who serve on multiple scholarship committees, so they do end up evaluating the same applicant for multiple scholarships. We are recommending that evaluators have the ability to copy previous scores/comments from one evaluation to another for the same applicant. For example, if they are evaluating on their GPA and academic performance, that won't change from application to application. They are requesting to copy the scores and comments as a previous answer to another evaluation…

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 -
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:

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).
