Email notification application details to applicant
In the training call yesterday we learned that we have the option to attach email notifications to processses and that in the emails to administrators regarding submitted applications we could choose the option of including application details.
It would be great to have that "details" option for the emails to applicants. Sometimes we have grant writers writing for multiple orgs and it would be good if the submission email they receive would have application details.

Is there a way for different groups of evaluators to have access to only certain applications?
For example, in the Shared Documents feature, our Grants Committee only has access to materials that I make available under "staff." We also have a Youth Leadership Committee made up of high school students that have a grant cycle and they evaluate a number of applications. We would love for them to have access to the applications in Foundant, but only want them to access to the applications they are reviewing.

Duplicate Organization profiles
While I am new to the organization that I am working with, I am in the process of merging duplicate organiztion profiles and would like to make a suggestion. Often times duplicate organizations profiles are formed because either the person applying does not know they already have a profile set up or simply the password has been lost in translation as different people take over grant applications, etc.
What I would like to see is if there is a way that when a potential grantee goes to apply, the system can recognize if their organization already has a profile in…

Restricting evaluator access to uploaded documents and reporting fields
When we implemented the 3rd party recommendation functionality in 4.0.0 (November 2013), some of the input we considered came from the Idea Lab item titled " https://community.foundant.com/foundant/topics/recommendation_letter_upload ."
Within that item were a couple other ideas, one of which can be summarized as "restricting evaluator access to uploaded documents and reporting fields". The specific comment from Felicia Roeser (Pedrozzi Scholarship Foundation) is:The Pedrozzi Scholarship Foundation could save a lot of time with reference letters that we receive from all of the emails we have to generate to request them for the applicant if you provided a feature like Don described.…

form builder page - "modified by" column is incorrect
I like being able to see which staff last modified a form... that is, I would like it if it were accurate. The "Modified By" column does update when you move questions, but not when you edit the question text within.

Excluding/ Selecting Multiple Processes
Is there a way to exclude or select multiple processes from
the drop down list menus? Instead of selecting one process at a time for say
"applications submitted" I would be elated to have either a “select
multiple processes" option (Shift click?), or an "exclude
process" option. Thank you!1 vote -
Linking directly to applications
My organization uses Foundant for scholarships opportunities and we have a variety of different scholarship fund applications in the system. I'd like the ability to direct applicants right to the application they're interested in after they log on, yet still have the ability to go back to the Apply page and see all of the scholarship opportunities. I asked this question to my client rep and received this response as a work around, but it doesn't seem like it would work well for us:
"There is not a way to link directly to an application. The system must always

Customize the number of days used for the Follow-up Reminder. (Updated in 3.2.0)
I would like to be able to customize the number of days used for the Follow-up Reminder that is currently sent 2 weeks prior to the Due Date of the Follow-Up Form. Specifically, this would apply to using this form to receive Grant Agreements. We send the Grant Agreement in hardcopy form, and would like to have it signed, uploaded into GLM and submitted to us within 10 days of the grantee's receipt. Under the current protocol, the reminder email will be sent 2 weeks in advance of the Form Due Date. Since the Grantee can actually see the Due…

Expand access to the Contact Editor screen
The process for an applicant to edit contact information needs to be more obvious. As far as I can tell, the only way for an user to edit contact information is to click the Welcome button at the top of the screen. I think it would be helpful to add a button under the Tools section on the Dashboard labeled Edit Contact to take the user to the Contact Editor Screen. My Foundation has been using GLM for 18 months and many of our grantees are now applying for the second time; however, we are finding the person that initially…

Website Design
I would like it if the Foundant page could be designed to look more like our webpage.

Payments Ideas
We have the following scenarios and it would be great to be able to track these so we can pull out better reports.
Track cancelled payment amounts at board meetings.
Track returned checks (unused amounts), where the amount will later be cancelled at board meeting
Track overpayment on a grant (Assume that 100k was granted and paid based on monthly invoices ... howver, at the end of the year, we have paid out $120k ... then the following year, we would would approve the overpayment of $20k)
I wish I could keep track of all these interesting scenarios.

More search options in Payment Tracking
It would be great to do an actual search in Payment Tracking so that you could weed out any unnecessary information on that screen. For example:
allow it to search for just those requests that still have a balance
allow a search for a specific organization or project name
bring the process pull-down menu over so that I can look at one process at a time
Are any of these possibilities?
Thanks,

Canadian Tax IDs
I'm wondering if Foundant has considered standardizing the Canadian Tax ID field to a consistent format. Typically it is <123456789 RR1234>.
In new applications we are receiving, some applicants only enter in the first nine digits and leave off the suffix which is often but not always <RR0001>. Others insert hyphens or spaces. It is a suggestion that should benefit all your Canadian users.

Control for notifications in profiles
Email notifications for both administrators and evaluators should be controllable from the profile. Currently, you can control which notifications administrators receive from their profile, which is much easier and faster than clicking through all the forms and processes to turn them on or off. The same control (in the profile) should be possible in evaluators' profiles too.

(Update in 2.4.0) Add "due date" to Payments when viewing the grant screen
After I create a payment, you have to go to "Payment Tracking" to see when the payment is due.
It would be ideal to also have the DUE DATE in the list of payments located in the Grant Screen view.

(Updated in 3.2.0) Ability to click on an organization when searching contacts
It would be great to be able to open the organiation page once you've searched for a contact. Currently, if I know a contact's name and search on that trying to find the organization, I have to then go to the organization search link and search again in order to get the organization's page.

Ability to change uploaded document description and type (Updated in 3.2.0)
It would be very helpful if these fields were changeable. It is a sortable field and thus having things that all start with a date makes it easy to place them in order. But, old documents were not named in that fashion so in order to accomplish this, I have to delete and upload again just to rename in the description field.

Ability to close a grant from the follow up screen
Here is an idea to add to your growing and shrinking (as ideas are incorporated in updates) list. It would be helpful to ahve the option to close a grant from the follow up screen. Once a grantee has submitted the grant report, and it has been accepted, we consider the grant closed. In order to mark it as such I click on the project name which takes me to another screen so I can close the grant. I wonder if there could be an option to close the grant once you indicate the follow up material they submitted is…

Allow decimals/cents in Payment Tracking
Apologies if this has already been brought up, but I am entering payments in Payment Tracking for the first time today, and just realized that GLM will only accept whole numbers. Many of our grants are paid in installments, and dividing them up often results in payments ending with .50 cents. It would be great to be able to enter cents, rather than having to go through and adjust several payments manually up or down to account for the division.

Decision screen, CSV file, and organization name (Updated in 3.1.0)
We would like to generate a CSV file from the decision area to create mailing lables, file labels, etc. but have found that when we generate this CSV file the organization name is not included in the download - which is a big piece of what we need on the labels. We get around this situation by doing a data export, but it would be nice if we could do the same from the decision screen.
