  1. Still need more characters for instruction questions. I am building a grant agreement today and have a table that i'm trying to copy and paste into an instruction question (from word) and it is 639 characters too long! :-(. Maybe up it to 5000? Pretty please!?!

  2. A requirement for our scholarship application is that the student must upload an academic transcript. I am currently having to open over 140 applications, then open the document in the transcript section of the application to verify it is actually a transcript. Could AI be developed to open and interpret the document to confirm it is a transcript? It would be a huge time-saver for staff.

  3. When notifying someone of a grant award, we have always referenced the fund name in a check letter. As we move notifications to email, we need to be able to include the Fund Names. In CommunitySuite-integrated processes, the field exists already in the Installment form. It would be great if that field were both shared to other forms and as a merge field for email templates!

  4. When applicants create their accounts, it would be nice if the organization field provided a drop-down menu of the current organizations already listed in the account holder's account. This would help eliminate duplicate organizations and save the administrator time going through all the organizations and merging duplicates.

  5. Would there be a way to customize what is shown on an evaluator packet? We typically allow board members to view a folder of evaluator packets, but they get long and we want to make it easier for board members to quickly digest a grant. Is there a way to either customize what we include in the packets or easily batch download the executive summaries for all of our grants in a given cycle?

  6. My proposed idea is to create a "Create Document and Attach to Request AND Attach to Email" button next to the current "Create Document and Attach to Request" button. This would perform both actions at the same time. Currently, attaching a document to an email requires manually uploading the document.

  7. While chatting with support@foundant.com they suggested I submit a request to be able to customize the date when manually entering a historic application because unfortunately it shows today's date for the date of submission and I want it to show a date from years ago.

    We have an applicant that last applied in the mid 90s and is applying again. We don't have their historical application in Foundant but we have the hard copy file. I added the historical application to the Request History tab and scanned in the old application but it doesn't give me the option to put…

  8. Not sure if this should be form building or reviewing, but the default now when editing or reviewing the UA and other processes is when you open one question group, the other collapses. I would like to ability to have multiple or as many question groups open as I want at the same time, in case I'm trying to review items/questions between them. I understand some people may want to only see one at a time, so making this a setting would give admins an option to decide which way they prefer.

  9. I wish i had a way to confirm existing vendor ids that are hand entered. If my grant managers make a mistake here, the wrong people get paid.

    I looked at using a branching question. But there is no way to see if the answer to Q1 matches the answer to Q2...

    In my form it's set up as:

    Does your school have an existing THR Vendor ID? (Y/N)

    Branch Group: Yes

    Enter school's THR vendor ID: __________ (integer, limited to 15 chars)
    Confirm school's THR vendor ID: _________ (integer, limited to 15 chars)

    I want the next section to…

  10. Currently we can add two custom columns to the Your Evaluations tab for our evaluators, but when the evaluations are closed and we allow our evaluators to see all the closed evaluations prior to our Board meeting, there is no way to add custom columns on that page. We do not review the grant applications by alpa order of the organization or project name. We assign grant numbers and will review the grants in that order. When we get to our meeting, I have to export and create a spreadsheet for our evaluator trustees to use to follow along with…

  11. I'd like to be able to customize the Third Party Dashboard columns to indicate if the request is a transcript, a letter of recommendation, or something else. Currently, the requestee has to click on each request or remember each email to know what is waiting for them. It may be helpful to have a descriptor column of the nature of the request.

  12. Howdy! We are trying to increase our usage of electronic payments for grantees and are updating tens and hundreds of profiles at a time.

    As it stands now, updating ACH settings in CSuite require two separate bulk updates - one for ACH settings to add account and routing number, and the second for changing the default payment type. That means culling two reports to 'match' the profiles ID (which is the most labor intensive part of the process).

  13. It would be nice to hook a donor email to a scholarship opportunity so that students can automatically send them a thank you note from their follow up form. I know this would be possible to do through the third party field but it would be too much work to add the donor email to each follow up form. Plus, this would require us to give a donor email to the students, which some donors may not like.

  14. Can there be an automatic email for the "LOI Declination?" Or better yet, can it be determined by the administrators which emails are automatic or not?

  15. In GLM, it takes a LONG time to navigate to a specific request. Summary of that process: home screen > search > organizations > type org name > wait for results to load > comb through all results > click on correct org name > requests > comb through all requests > click on correct request name > finished. That's a TON of steps.

    It'd be very helpful if we could export the unique URL of all requests. I'm thinking it could be a report field? this would enable us to set up an offline spreadsheet containing direct links to…

  16. Currently, exporting a batch of templates compiles all documents into a single file, which often requires them to be manually split at a later stage. It would be greatly appreciated if we could automatically export all selections to separate documents.

  17. Currently only questions that exist on the Eligibility, LOI, and Application forms within a process can be added as a Shared Question to the Evaluation, Decision, and Follow Up forms. We would like the ability to add a Shared Question to ANY form within a given process no matter what form it was originally added to.

    For example, if we add a "Reasons for Decline" field to an Evaluation form, we'd like to be able to pull that same field in as a Shared Question to a Decisions form.

  18. It would be great if we could click on a Project URL during an evaluation and it be a hyperlink to take us to the URL. Instead we have to copy the URL and paste it in another browser window to view it.

  19. Please move the button up to the top. I have multiple processes so when I copy to a new one, the button to mark draft or submitted is often off the page and out of view so I miss it. Then I copy again and have 3 applications in the system and have to delete two of them while making sure I am deleting the correct ones. This is a simple fix.

  20. It would be helpful for our grantees to receive a message when a previous report was accepted (completed on our end) so they can move onto the next report that’s due. The only notification they receive is if the reports are sent back as incomplete.
