(Updated in 2.4.0) "Return to Application Submitted"
It would be helpful if the link to Return to Application Submitted appeared at the top of a propoal as well as the very end. Sometimes we don't want to scroll to the bottom to return there, such as when we are looking up something that is at the beginning of the proposal. This would save time.
On a minor note, should the Dashboard say "Applications Submitted;" that is a plural of application?

Getting rid of duplicate contacts (Updated in 3.1.0)
I like clean data and so having many organization records with duplicate contacts drives me nuts. Deactivating a user doesn't delete them from the contacts, unfortunately. I would like to see a holding tank where we could move the duplicates so they don't clutter user information. In lieu of that, I'll have to create a dummy organization where I can store all the dupes.

(Updated in 2.3.0) "Enter" no longer works to launch search or on logon page
When I am searching requests in GLM, I used to type in the organization's name (or partial name), and hit "enter" to launch the search process. Recently when I do this (maybe just the last few weeks?), I get a little error noise ("ding!"). To launch the search I have to click "search" with the mouse.
Similarly, when I login on our main logon page, I enter in my username and password. I used to be able to then just hit "enter" to logon -- but again, now have to manually mouse-click the "logon" button.
I recognize this is a…

Denial Decision date and comments (Updated in 3.1.0)
Currently, when you look at the snapshop of an organization's application and grant history it is organized by date. For approved grants, it's the decision date that's listed. For denied applications, it seems to be the date the denial is entered in the database.
Could denials also have a "decision date" field? That way they would also be organized by the decision date and not the date it was keyed into the system. We've run into some problems with the chronology when we haven't been able to get the denial decisions into the system in a timely manner. For example--when…

Chronological Log of Communications with Grantees
We would love to have a log of our communications with our Grantee Organizations. This could be a list with clickable entries that would take us to a description field. If it could have a date field & a field for the name of the person we communicated with - that would be stellar. Keeping the emails would also be great. Thanks for asking.

Copying an application from one process to another
It would be wonderful to have the ability to copy an application from one process to another. At times we have a process that will pick up some of the funding for another process. It would save a lot of time to be able to copy this instead of having to copy each answer to a new application.

Make "Organization Information Updated" email more clear
Excited about the chance for applicants to edit their organization info!
I realize that the release notes say the standard email to the applicant "Organization Information Updated" cannot be
edited by individual foundations. But it's so tech-speak and doesn't include any instructions for what to do next.

Pull request docs into reports
It would be helpful if a report could include uploaded request documents. We have to upload a source document to every grant request, so we want to be able to run a report to identify any requests missing a document.

Document Upload - 2
It would be wonderful if - when we click on the button for ADD DOCUMENT - the cursor would jump immediately to the Description Box - ready for typing. This happens when we click on Organization from the Dashboard and it would save time and clicks if it is possible.
Thanks

Process Description Field
Could you add "process description" in addtion to the process name.
We are labeling revisions to our processes as v1, v2 etc. We would like to add comments to remind us/future users what & why the processes were changed. We prefer to keep the names of the procsses short so they don't wrap around on print-outs or monitors, but we would like to make notes on what the versions are.

Simple Log In URL
Most of us here have the Foundant login URL bookmarked for easy in and out of the system. But if we happen to not be on a computer with that, then we (or our grantees) are always scrambling to find the amazingly long and complicated URL to login to the system. It would be terrific if we could go with something shorter, redirect the URL from something more intuitive that would hopefully still provide the necessary security, ie: http://www.grantinterface.com/XYZorganization....Thanks !

Put Process name on the Installment Detail page (Updated in 3.2.0)
Unless I'm just not seeing it, the Process is not listed on the Installment Detail page. This would make things much easier for those dealing with multiple processes. As it stands, I have to click Project Name once on the Installment Detail page just to be sure I'm paying the right grant; in order to not have to worry about what hitting the "back" button will do, I right click and open in new tab.

Hey, Uncheck This Out! Change the Default on the Choose Export Columns
Are you tired of unchecking ninety (yes 90!) export column boxes to narrow down your export to Excel?
Wouldn't it be cool if the Foundant default had all of those boxes UNCHECKED?
That way you would only have to zip through checking off a handful of columns to include in your export.
It is faster to point and click what you want than to get carpal tunnel syndrome unclicking your way through persnickety exports.
I understand that the web usability experts say that when your menu or variable fields are greater than 10, users are faster and more accurate when…

After updating an applicant's information, show the organization's/user's information page
I've noticed that, after updating an applicant's information, the system brings me to a list of all of the users, rather than bringing me back to the user's or organization's page. I then have to do my search over again if I had any other information to be updated for that user or organization.
It would be great if the system put me back on the user's or organization's page, instead.
Thanks.

Note Box on Administrator Dashboard
I am not sure if other Foundations are like us and have multiple administrators, but it would be helpful to have a text area available on the main dashboard where we could post a to-do list of open items. https://d2r1vs3d9006ap.cloudfront.net/s3_images/964918/Screen_Shot_2013-03-04_at_10.31.36_AM.png?1380567900

Making report fields visible in lists of applications
We assign a project number to each of our applications after they have been approved/denied. It is currently in a internal report field. It would be great if we could somehow have the option to choose what appears in the lists of applications. For example, when you click on "Granted" from the dashboard a list of projects appears. We would like to be able to have our project numbers from the report fields populate one of these columns and have them sortable as the current columns are. We use this project number report field more often than say the project's…

Allow Applicants to copy all the info from an old application into a new one all at once.
Because we have many repeat grantees, it would be useful for them to be able to copy one of their old apps into a new one and then make the minor necessary changes as needed (date and amount, for instance). This would keep them from having to re-enter a lot of information every time they apply for a grant. Thanks!

Deselecting Processes
The new box for selecting multiple processes is great, but
can we get one Deselect All button at the top of the page? As it stands now, we
have to click the box, then click box at the top of each list twice to deselect
all before then clicking to select the ones we want. That's a lot of clicking!Also, maybe have the Archived processes deselected as a default?
Thanks,

Copy email templates
We use the same basic set of email templates each year. I would like the ability to copy each template, so I can edit it with the correct dates for each year. I thought I was doing this when I opened an email template and changed the name to 2015 LOI Invitation. Unfortunately, all that did was delete the template for 2014 and change the template name in the email history for the Organization.

Sorting applicants by Last Name
It is a great feature to be able to toggle column labels to adjust sorting when viewing the open request dashboards, e.g., by process or organization name. However, I think great improvement would be to change the applicant name sorting to be by the Last Name and not by First Name as it is currently implemented.
