The title sums it up :)

minimum character count
It would be great if the admin could set both a minimum and maximum character count for such questions as "Integer." For example, if we require a 7-digit number, we can set the maximum to 7 characters, but we don't have a way to set the minimum character count to 7 as well, which can contribute to mistakes with ID submission.

list the actual payment date rather than the award due date in the award details of the request summary.
Seeing the due date instead of the actual payment date leads everyone to believe that was when the payment was made, especially since there is nothing that explains that date. In most cases, it is not and, unless they drill down to find the actual payment date, they assume that it is.

Shared Documents
In shared documents. I'd like there to be an option to choose all boxes to be check marked instead of doing them individually. Thank you

Search Bar for GLM
Adding a global search bar in GLM that allows administrators to filter across all requests, decisions, organizations, users, applications, forms, emails, and notes by keyword would significantly improve efficiency and information retrieval.
There have been many instances where my President has asked for a list of grants related to specific initiatives or geographic areas - such as homelessness, hunger, substance abuse prevention, utility assistance, Smith Lake, or camps. These types of searches often can't be fulfilled by simply entering the name of an organization, user, or location. Instead, I’m left to manually comb through grant notes and entries from previous…

Sending Follow-Ups to Multiple contacts at an organization
Often with our grantees, we typically have multiple people working in tandem on different aspects of the report. While they are set up as collaborators, only one person is getting the reminder when upcoming reports are due. We would like to ensure that folks from departments such as the finance or program teams are all receiving the same advanced notice!

Process Manager
In the process manager, there is currently 2 buckets for processes to live:
-Available
-ArchiveWe'd like to see a third option for processes to live for historical management:
-Available/Active
-Unavailable/Inactive
-Archive/HistoricalWe have processes that have gone through several updates over time. It would be nice to keep what we need in Available/Active and Unavailable/Inactive buckets but older version in Archive/Historical that are not so forward facing. Not available on the immediate search area/filter area. A place for historical process to go and live instead of deleting or saving a PDF version on our internal drives.
It would also…

search special characters
searching for an organization named St. Vincent only returns results if the punctuation/special character is included. searching St Vincent should also return the results.

Add "Abandoned" requests as its own category on the dashboard
During a grant cycle, we will have a dozen or so requests that are abandoned. It would be helpful to have a category on the dashboard to show the number from that process that were abandoned just the same as you can see approved or denied.

Ability to add attachments
Currently, the only way to provide a form to be completed is through links. I'd like to attach an excel spreadsheet that needs to be completed and uploaded by applicants. We have run into issues where links to forms break and it would be much simpler to provide the attachment within the application question.

Blind Review
In SLM evaluations, you are only able to add two custom columns to the user dashboard and are required to keep applicant first and last name.
Our foundation uses blind review to align with our DEI initiative. When following blind review, the applicant first and last name appear as [HIDDEN] (see screenshot) and are unable to be removed. Our reviewers have given feedback that they would like the opportunity to have those be optional columns so that they are able to pull in more relevant information like high school attended, major, GPA, etc.
Removing the requirement to keep first and…

Allow Copy Previous Requests from Organization (Instead of User)
It would be really useful if the Copy Previous Answers function worked for all requests under an Organizational profile instead of just the specific User profile. This would be helpful for some of our organizations who experience high turnover or for folks who are applying when other colleagues are on leave.

Custom URL capability for SLM and GLM grant processes
It would be nice to be able to create a custom URL for grant and scholarship programs instead of the grantinterface.com address.

Parent-subsidiary relationships
We repeatedly run into an issue with organization records in which one org (such as a university or community foundation) is the "parent" organization, and a department or sponsored program is a subsidiary or component fund. It would be helpful if GLM had the ability to show those relationships, have different addresses where needed for the subsidiary, and to segregate the subsidiary's contacts and grant history. For example, I am far more likely to need information about the McDonald Observatory (part of UT Austin) than the university overall.

college addresses available to merge
Two ideas for this... 1 is just making college addresses that are added in follow up forms to be available for merge templates. 2 is to establish a way that all foundant customers can submit confirmed correct college addresses - share the knowledge!

Suggestions for Custom Columns
It would be helpful to see the amount awarded from the All Open Approvals screen.
From the Organization Summary page on the Request History tab, is there a way to change the column header "Date" to say "Decision Date", since that is what that column is showing us?
Finally, it would be helpful if the primary user column were visible on the Organizations page.

Tracking Touchpoints
There is no way to get one clear shot of engagement/touchpoints with organizations. Should there be unexpected turnover within an organization, their Foundant profile should have a feature to track the following:
1) Site Visits (with notes and person in attendance)
2) Phone Calls (with notes and person in attendance)
3) Events (with notes and person in attendance)
4) E-mails (with notes)Right now, we have to track this information on spreadsheets, which leaves a lot a room for human error. Without a feature like this, Foundant is very limited in its ability to manage the Grant Cycle process!

add active grant start and end dates, and grant amount to org history & request summary
It would be very helpful to be able to see the grant amount and grant start & end dates, preferable in both the organization Application and Grant History line, and (at a minimum) in the top box of the Request Summary. Too many clicks & scrolls to get that basic info. Thanks!

outlook intregration
Given the way technology has grown over the years, is there a way to integrate Outlook email with Foundant email so that when an email is received, it will automatically show up in Outlook, and when we respond to an email, it will show up in the appropriate applicant file in Foundant?

Follow Up Reports available with past applications under Organization History tab
It would be great if follow up reports showed up along with the past applications under the Organization History tab so all the members of an organization could see this important part of an application. With the high rates of turn over at a lot of these organizations having the follow report tied to the person who submitted the report is very limiting.
