  1. In the new version of the applicant experience (which we are big fans of!), I love that the process is listed up front, our grantees used to struggle with identifying their different grants and which program they were connected to, but now the project name doesn't seem to be reflected anywhere on the new applicant home page. For our grantees/organizations that may have more than one project in a process (fairly common with local universities or hospital systems) the follow ups are indistinguishable unless they click into the form. Is there anywhere or any way that the project name could…

  2. To avoid multiple GLM profiles for one organization it would be great to add a feature notifying the person that the EIN entered when creating an account is already in use and restrict them from creating another account. If it is a fiscally sponsored organization then the 00-000000 option can still be available.

  3. Currently, once a manager evaluation has been assigned, if the manager reviews it and then realizes it should be reassigned to another manager, if he saves it (even without answering any questions), it locks the evaluation and it cannot be reassigned. This is an issue and has not always been this way. I would like to recommend this be changed so if needing to reassign an evaluation, it can be done without issue by the administrator, even if it has been saved. This has been a very big issue for us during our current grant process and I'd like to…

    Hello!

    Thank you for your feedback! This now doable as of our February Release. You can learn more here: https://support.foundant.com/hc/en-us/articles/36764958428183-Grant-Scholarship-Lifecycle-Manager-Release-Notes-2026 or feel free to reach out to our support team.


    Thank you for your partnership

  4. We would love the option to turn on 2-factor authentication. Applicants often share credentials to work on application and follow-up forms, and 2FA would help eliminate confusion on their end, as well as greatly reduce the risk of fraudulent activity.

  5. Hi! I'm writing to request an update to the SLM/GLM reviewer experience that is regarding the cybersecurity of our scholarship and grant applicants. Currently, reviewers within the SLM/GLM can choose to either view or download scholarship or grant applications or the documents uploaded within them. For scholarship applications, these documents include things like FAFSA reports that include personal financial information. For grant applications, that could include things like tax returns, audits, and budgets.

    I would like to request an update to the settings for Reviewers to be able to be given "read-only" access, meaning they would only be able to…

  6. It would be wonderful if you could assign across processes within the universal application after an application is in the "evaluation assigned" bucket. I often have reviewers who are unable to complete their assignments and I have to manually reassign hundreds of individual applications. This functionality is so helpful in the "complete" bucket.

  7. 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?

  8. 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…

  9. 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…

  10. 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.

  11. 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.

  12. 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

  13. 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.

  15. 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.

  16. 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…

  17. 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!!!

  18. 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.

  19. 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.

  20. 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.
