  1. My board finds search too complicated to use. They have to choose both "Status" and "Process." This is a lot. Moreover, they do not know the name of the processes, or what process anything they want to search would be under. This is administrative and internal, and not friendly to them.

  2. It would be a HUGE time saver to be able to edit payments on the Payment Tracking Page, rather than having to go into each individual Project and edit the payment there. Just have the edit pencil icon right next to the eye, and the blue plus sign on the payment tracking page. When entering additional comments, after a payment has been posted, it is extremely time consuming to do this for 50+ payments at a time.

    Thank you for your continued engagement with our product development process.

  3. One of the pain points around not having batch functionality (beyond having to do the same action over and over again) is having to open every single organization or request and navigate to the right section, then do whatever the action is. I am not sure if this is even possible, but I would love to have the ability to bring a section from each of a group of organizations or requests or applications and have them show up on one screen.

    Example: Charity Check. If I could search for a group of organizations and select that I would like…

  4. It would be wonderful to be able to save report formulas so I do not have to copy and paste from another report each time I want to add a formula. For example, I use a formula to calculate Payment Fiscal Year, and a different formula to calculate Decision Fiscal Year. Right now I store them in an excel spreadsheet, but it would be great to be able to "Save" formulas and then select them by name for any report.

  5. It would be very helpful to add the "Create Documents" link to the Payment Tracking page. As it is, I have to back out of that page go do a new search on the Request and Decisions page - to create the same list I had on the payment tracking page - in order to do a group merge to a merge template.

  6. While I like the changes that come forward many do not make data entry user friendly. Entering payments now takes too many clicks to get where you need to be. I like the pop up screen for entering a payment but, once a payment is entered, the field collapses and you have to reopen the installment section to enter another payment or to ensure that your balances match. I use this time as an opportunity to make sure my balances are correct.

  7. When we pull excel sheets, we list the description of the organization with the grant information each year to present to our Board. Instead of having our applicants re-enter that information or manually entering it year after year, it would be helpful to allow the "Description" information in the Organization Summary section be exportable in the Reports & Data Sources tab.

  8. Could you please create a grid with check boxes for each type of role. I think it would be easier to compare the access visually.

  9. I'm looking to create a Board Member level user role that can view applications, evaluations, and follow ups BUT ONLY in a process to which they are assigned.

  10. I would love to see simple, in-screen instructions for questions we frequently get asked instead of having to create (or find) a tutorial for simple tasks, based on the screen a particular user role is currently on. For example, for applicants, a short set of instructions on their dashboard could tell them how to access a follow up form to complete it. For evaluators, a box to the right of their dashboard could tell them to click on "board member" to view the grant assigned to them.

  11. For example I have a multi-year grant and I want the applicant to complete the same follow up form for each year of the grant (so same form, different due dates one year apart). Seems a little messy to have to create a new follow up for each year when the questions are the same - I'd like to just reuse the first form.

  12. Have a "flagging" system that can be used for a variety of situations, such as changing a payment date or report due date. This would help us tremendously in communicating with our accounting team. They would like to be able to easily track when payments are moved, and we often move them when reports don't come in on time, or projects are otherwise delayed.

  13. It would be helpful to able send a batch email using the list of organizations that appear on the organizations search page by having a send email tab at the bottom of that page. Presently we can only Merge, Quick Export or Archive organizations that we select on the list.

  14. Would it be possible to add a feature in Shared Documents to have the option of creating a folder within a folder to store old files that pertained to previous grant cycles? I'd like to be able to add new documents that are updated and pertain to the current cycle of grants but also leave the old documents there in a separate folder so that they can still be accessed. Not sure if this may already exist but it won't allow me to move a document to the "archived" folder I created.

  15. When you enter the due date for a follow up by typing mm/dd/yy, the system should default to the current century rather than assuming you mean the 1900s.

  16. The number of LOI's that have been started but never submitted is getting large - is there a date we can include on this list so at some point we can delete the oldest?

  18. After closing evaluation, the options at the bottom of the Evaluation Summary page are to "email evaluator" and to "approve" evaluations. It would be convenient to also have the option to deny evaluation here. Currently, the work flow requires one instead to return to the dashboard, select closed evaluations, and go from there with batch options. I like to work on one LOI at a time and not have to return back out the dashboard.

    It would also be nice if when I did a denial, the decision date calendar brought up the current date by default, but allowed that…

  20. Currently Applicant and Applicant Name fields are listed by first name then last name. Maybe one of these fields could be programmed to be last name, first name.
