Assign Primary Contact as Default "Applicant" for Grants Synced from CSuite to GLM
There are some grants that we process in CSuite and then sync over the GLM. The intention is that we can use email templates for batch notifications in GLM to send to the organizations. We also assign follow-up forms for these grants.
However, the emails and follow-ups aren't working. It seems to be because the Applicant is listed as "Unassigned". All of the organizations for these grants already have GLM accounts, so I would love to see the Primary Contact be the default "Applicant", which would enable us to perform these functions in batch. Any way to improve this integration…

Email Formatting
Emails generated through Foundant have grey boarder margins that cut off sentences on some email platforms. Can Foundant fix this formatting issue so email formatting will look the same on multiple email providers?

Batch follow ups to Org primary contact
Add functionality to chose who the follow up is assigned to when batching them. Currently, it goes to the applicant account. I’d like it to go to the organization’s primary contact, then they can add contributors. Applicants are often grant writers or development directors with higher rates of turnover than Executive Directors. Some orgs have overdue follow ups simply due to staff turnover.

more characters for instruction questions
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!?!

Please, please, please add "Fund Names" into the available merge fields for email templates!
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!

Drop -down menu in the organization field when the applicant is creating an account
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.

Customize Batch Evaluator Packets
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?

Merge Template - Attach to Email Feature
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.

amostue@carpenter-foundation.org
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…

Document preview
It would be great if attachments in the "Documents" tab could be previewed (much like how documents can be previewed within an application by clicking the eye icon).
Currently, a user has to download a file from the Documents tab in order to view it. It would be amazing to keep the preview experience within the browser. As an added bonus, my downloads folder wouldn't get clogged up!
Thanks!

Make collapsing groups optional/a setting
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.

data validation
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…

charity check
There is a discrepancy between GLM and CSuite charity checks. When a private foundation applies it 'passes' the charity check unless you think to check in the Publication 78 box. When you run the same org in CSuite, a more obvious charity check message about their private foundation status displays. It would be helpful to have a more clear way of flagging private foundations within GLM before applicants get further in the process.

Closed Evaluation Custom Columns for Evaluators
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…

SLM: Customize Third Party Dashboard Columns
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.

bulk update
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).

Automatic Scholarship Thank You note submission
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.

Automatic Emails Editable
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?

Ability to export page URLs as a report field
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…

Shared Question Across Forms
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.
