Autosave In Progress Applications
Build a function where in-progress LOIs/applications and evaluations autosave regularly (perhaps every 30 seconds like in Google Drive/Forms)? I cannot tell you how many folks exit the page or forgot to hit save/submit, and lose all of their work, because they're used to autosave functions on so many other softwares they use. This would save so many headaches, and truly improve the experience for our applicants, grantess, and staff.
2 votesHello Annie,
Autosave is enabled in all Foundant forms. Questions save as you move from question to question, with every 100 characters in text responses, and any other click or take action the work will be saved. At a maximum with our autosave a user should only lose work of one questions. If you have seen this not be the case we ask the you please escalate to our support team.

Update answer choices once the question has been used
Update answer choices once the question has been used. Be able to update an answer choice once it has been used, so that when it pulls into subsequent forms it can show the updated wording. For example, on the intake form we used K12, but on the subsequent forms we received feedback that it would be better to say "Kindergarten - 12th grade"
1 voteHello,
The ability to edit choices with in lists is something our support team can give you access to do within the system. If you reach out to them at support@foundant.com they will help you with configuration.

Assign a Scholarship Fund
SLM/Scholarship Processing:
The way our current universal application functions is that when we go in to award scholarships to our students, we have to find their application for that specific scholarship opportunity. From there, we can award x amount of money to that student, from that fund.
This can be tedious and can cause the system to load slowly, as we have over 4000 applications loading at a time, one for each scholarship opportunity match.
I would love it if we could implement something like a dropdown or similar feature, where I can select a student and then assign them…
5 votesHello,
With our January 2024 Release we implemented a new workflow to add the scholarship fund on the opportunity so that it moves forward when syncing to communitysuite. We hope this helps streamline your workflow and encourage you to create a new idea lab item with additional items.

Organization Information Fields
I would love for the text format requirements in the Organization Information section to be eliminated or more flexible! As an organization that works internationally, many of these fields do not allow us to input respective phone numbers or addresses accurately due to these restrictions.
2 votesHi Fiona,
Our support team can you modify these fields. If you reach out they can help you get this set up for your needs.

same email for more than one organization
It would be nice if a user could be easily registered under more than one organization, using the same log in credentials to enter the grant management system. Hey, a girl can dream! :) Thank you!
14 votesWith 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

Show a list of processes that are using a specific eligibility quiz question
If I need to add an answer option to an eligibility quiz question, let's say for a new process, it would be helpful to know which other processes use that same quiz question so I can check to see they needs a revision because of the added option.
1 voteThis request can be accomplished by using the Eligibility Processes tab in the Eligibility Center.

branching from table responses
Need to be able to branch from table responses. For example. We formerly used 2 radio button questions for reporting year and reporting month. When grantees respond with specific months (end of quarters), certain question groups will open.
Now, we want to convert 2 questions into 1 table (a column for year and another for month), but we can't use our branching groups now.....:-(

Landscape View
For Scholarships I print a report for each opportunity with many data fields and sorted by score. The text is pretty small, even after I eliminate several unneccesary columns. It would be nice to have the option to print the PDF as landscape so that the print could be a bit larger. I realize you can export to excel but the PDF saves me a lot of time.
4 votesHI Tess,
Available in site settings is the option to change the reporting print layout to landscape.
we hope this helps!

Total Award Amount
On the back end of SLM, we can see a total dollar amount for all scholarships awarded to an applicant in the request history. It would be helpful for scholarship applicants to see a total dollar amount as well. Right now, they have to select "View Details" and then "Award Details" to view the amount they have been awarded. This means they have to go through all those steps and manually calculate the total scholarship award amount.
44 votesIf you display decision information on your site, when a user accesses a follow-up, they will see the information at the top of the form.
We hope this helps create better visibility.

notification when there is a new log-in
Is there a way to receive notification when a new applicant creates an account?
1 voteThe introduction of the "Organization Added" email template should give you visibility into new log ins. If for some reason you still need additional functionality please create a new idea.

Make the Preview button on Apply Page Optional and/or Customizable
The ability to turn off the 'preview' button (per process) on the public apply page would be helpful. If the Eligibility phase is being used or if the application form in a process has a lot of branching, the preview does not accurately represent the application requirements.
Alternatively, it'd be great to be able to insert a custom link so that users are taken to an informational page/pdf when they click the preview button.

Alphabetize eligibility criteria regardless of opportunity
I saw the idea to alphabetize the eligibility criteria by opportunity. I would like is sorted alphabetically regardless of opportunity. When we add a new opportunity, it often has criteria we have already defined but I don't remember for which opportunity. Plus, when you add a new criteria you have no idea where it ends up in the list of criteria. So even finding the newest one again is a scroll-a-thon.

Applicant New Account Creation - Phone Number
When a new grant applicant creates a new account in GLM, they get an error message if they don't enter the phone number in the correct form. If there's a required format - in this case ###-###-#### that example should be shown next to the label Phone Number like it is for the EIN field.
Having a error message pop up when you haven't told someone there's a required format is rude and not the welcoming experience we want for our grantees. This is a simple and quick fix.
2 votesHi Julie,
we will look at changing the default for all sites created, but as an existing user you can reach out to support@foundant.com and they can make this change for you today.

Allowing larger file sizes
Our applications typically require a lot of uploads. They also have a lot of conditional logic. For instance, if someone is applying for a smaller amount of money, we ask for less financial documents, It would be nice if the allotment for file size allowance per application took the conditional logic into account instead of making it all cumulative. We bump into the issue of not having enough file size space in our applications all the time, and often steal a megabyte or two from one upload field to accommodate another, only to need to steal from somewhere else, etc.

Adding "Owner Country of Origin" as a data field in reporting.
Currently you can run a report based on the following: Owner race, ethnicity, DOB, gender...
We would love to be able to also add "owner country of origin" in the reportable data fields. It doesn't seem like this would be too difficult to do since the other fields are already there.
2 votesAny field you have added to the system will be available to report on. Reach out to support@foundant.com and they can help you with this process.

Number of comments shown at organization level
It would be great if we could see the number of comments summarized at the organization level (right now the counts only show at the request level.

Batch action for merged document
It would make things go much faster if we could select batch, create document, then select the merge file we want. This way all the summary pages for the board book could be generated at once rather than doing this task repeatedly one at a time, separately, for each application.

this functionality is available from the request and decision page. Please reach out to support@foundant.com to learn more.

Notification of Administrator when User Makes Profile Changes (address, phone, email, etc.)
It would be helpful for administrators to receive a notification when a user makes a change, such as address, phone, etc. in both GLM and SLM, but especially SLM. Sometimes different systems are used for communications, etc. and we can't make those updates if we aren't aware of changes made by users.
