  1. When you quit proxying as an applicant, the system throws you out of the application in which you were working back to the dashboard. You have to then hit Search-Organization-type in the name-search/click for the request in which you were just working-and again for the part of the application. This is an onerous process when you have to upload a report for a less than techy applicant. Couldn't the system be constructed so that the admin returns to the application on which he/she was working?

  2. The new applicant dashboard shows a red icon when there are pseudo-common or opportunity-specific third-party submissions that are outstanding (this is great!), but right now it doesn't show the icon if a common third-party submission is outstanding. The count (0/1, 0/2, etc.) when you hover over the icon also only includes pseudo-common or opportunity-specific third-party submissions. This has the potential to be confusing for applicants because they could believe all of their common third-party requests have been submitted when they are actually still outstanding. As an administrator, it will also be difficult to direct applicants on identifying which of their…

  3. I've seen a couple of posts about this already, but not sure that it was articulated in this way. It's scholarship season and students are stressed out trying to submit their applications and get teachers to complete their letters of recommendation. I was really surprised to learn there currently isn't any formal notification that gets sent when a teacher completes their 3rd party letter of recommendation in SLM. Teachers would benefit knowing their work was properly received. Students want to know they don't have to worry about this or nag their teacher to do this, and admins want to know…

  4. Trying to verify accuracy of committee participants is challenging becuase they are listed in a random order. We need the ability to alphabetize committee member names.

  5. We typically have multiple organizations who miss the deadlines for our grant reports. We would like to be able to batch edit deadlines for those reports so we can more quickly make them available for completion and don't have to go into each report to edit individually.

  6. Hi All,
    On December 6th, 2023 we updated the theme/general styling of GLM/SLM. We hope you all are enjoying these shifts in design, but in our commitment to continual improvement, we wanted to create a space where feedback could be collected. As you adopt the new look and feel, please use this idea to help continue to iterate with your feedback.

    Best,
    Sammie

  7. Enable documents uploaded to Foundant/GLM to be read in another browser tab instead of having to download said documents to your computer. If users want to download, make that an actionable icon much like the envelope is to email a contact or the pencil is to edit the process/form.

  9. I would love to have a search option when evaluators are assigned. We have over 150 potential evaluators so it would be helpful to be able to search by name instead of scrolling to find the evaluator's name.

  10. It would be great if a new person at an organization could add themselves as a User into the organization's account WITHOUT overwriting an existing User in the account.

    Currently, any time an organization has a new hire (or would just like to add someone new to their account in our portal), they have to contact us and we have to manually add them as a User and provide them with a temporary password. The only way for them to do it themselves is to overwrite an existing User in the account, which is problematic since doing that deletes/distorts our…

    With our May 2024 release you can now add contact their organization.  To learn more about this functionality please review our SupportHub or contact success @ foundant.

  11. When I add a comment to an application in GLM (and mark it so that the applicant can see it), is there a way to change the font color or make the font BOLD so that the comments are more visible to the applicant? With all the text on the page, the comments just blend in and applicants aren't seeing them - which means they call me 900 times a day!!!

  12. It would be great to have quick access to recently searched or recently modified/accessed requests or organizations. I find myself in and out of a lot of requests in one day and it would be nice to have quicker access to recent ones without having to re-search each time. I saw someone posted this previously with 9 votes but it was archived. Thanks.

    Hello!

    We hope our new header search functionality will meet this need. As you can see, when you click the search, it shows the last 4 records you recently viewed.


    If you need additional functionality, please don't hesitate to reach out or create a new idea.

  13. When reviewing opportunities in UA, it would be helpful to have the award decision and award amount noted on the "Related Opportunities" tab, rather than having to click into each opportunity and navigate to the award details or decision sections.

  14. We're from a small community, and we often have individuals who volunteer with multiple organizations. It would be helpful if we could assign one user in GLM to multiple organizations.

    With our February 2024 Release we have implemented an admin workflow to associated users with multiple organization.  You can learn more about this release here: https://support.foundant.com/hc/en-us/articles/20894342820759

    In a spirit of continuous improvement we will continue to evolve this feature and thank you for partnership. To provide feedback on this implementation and suggest next steps please reach out to our product team or post a new idea.

  15. We often have to go back into applications to update payment dates, etc. Because of the large amount of requests we process throughout the year it causes a lot of confusion when we leave approved requests open. If there was an easier way to either open multiple closed requests or make a payment on a closed request that would be a game changer.

  16. More than 25MB for Attachments

    We would like to see more space allowed for attachments to one application. Currently it maxes out at 25 MB. We get to that size very quickly with our attachments, and often applicants complain that they don't have enough space to upload their documents. A lot of our partners do not know how to reduce file size or are not tech savvy.

    It would awesome if this wasn't limited. I'm assuming there is a reason for this limit on the back end of the program, however.

    I see other have posted about this issue. The…

  17. Please bring back "Organization" autofill in the "add contact" form.

    When you click the "add contact" button in an organization, the form used to autofill/pre-populate with the organization name. Since Saturday 2/24/24, that no longer happens and we now have to scroll down a list of thousands of organization names to find the name to populate the field. The scroll function routinely freezes which makes it impossible to add a contact at all. Even when not frozen, the scroll list is glitchy and skips around a lot. The likelihood of accidentally adding a contact to the wrong organization is very…

  18. We need functionality to remove an evaluator from a panel after that evaluator (or other evaluators) have begun scoring. Presently, the only way to do this is to revert the application, which removes the work of other evaluators.

    We have encountered 2 situations this year where an evaluator discovered a conflict of interest after they started scoring. We need to remove them or at least remove the scores from the applications they completed. RIght now that will be a manual process.

  19. From the SLM Dashboard we have the ability to Filter by Processes. In the same way it would be great to be able to Filter by Applicant.

    We do not use universal application so this filter would allow us to group, screen and use Batch options based on an applicant name.

    Hello!


    While we have not implemented the filter on the dashboard, we have added new batch actions to the user summary page. You can learn more about that in the February Release.


    We hope this helps your workflows, but if you still have additional needs please don't hesitate to reach out.

  20. For table questions, it would be very helpful to have all text entered into a text field be visible in the field online. Currently, if the table has four columns, the field is quite short and text is not visible to administrators nor evaluators. Either having the text wrap in some fashion, or even having the ability to customize the column width so that text columns are wider than say an integer column.
