  1. I really like the new feature where an organization's grants are listed chronologically (most recent on top). What I would find really helpful would be to move the tab for "Enter Grant" to the top of the section so I don't have to scroll down to the bottom to enter a new grant. I also think that perhaps the tab should be moved to the right of the page like the view, edit and delete buttons.

  2. I want to batch deactivate all invalid users which were moved over from my legacy data. Currently I have to deactivate them one at a time, which is very inefficient!

  3. We want to send decision notifications to the primary contact for an organization, usually the organization top executive, but also want to notify the applicant, either by a copy of the email or by sending it to both. That is not currently possible with batch email because it defaults to the applicant, so in instances where the primary contact and applicant are different, batch emails cannot be used for these notifications.

  4. Hello,

    I am creating a report that I want to sort by the date/time of submission. We assign file numbers in the order grants were received. As staff begin to mark submissions as "complete," they are asked to assign a file number to a staff assigned field. I want to export a report of applicant names in the order they were received to an Excel document. There I can enter file numbers, and staff can reference the Excel document to look up file numbers.

    Unfortunately, it does not appear that there is a report field for submission date. Can you…

  5. Hi everyone,

    I'm the new kid on the block, client #491. :)

    I'm wondering if Foundant has given thought to including twitter and facebook IDs into the registration page for organizations?

    I've found that interacting by social media has been a great way to get a handle on what's happening in a charity.

    Many thanks,
    Mark

  6. I'd love to be able to customize the URL to our grants portal.

    Right now, I feel silly saying to our grantees: "You can access our grants portal here: https://www.grantinterface.com/Common /LogOn.aspx?eqs=ph_BjRFP96u-8PaY4j7weg2."

    It would be nice if there was a way to change this to a nicer URL like " http://www.grantinterface.com/rihumanities. " We can do this with our facebook page and eventbrite events...why not our grants portal?

  7. I would like to see a "Comments" or "Notes" field added to User records.

    There are a number of interactions that we have with Users that we have no place to record information about, such as when a change in contact information has occurred (I can currently record the new information, but I would like to keep the history about the old information and when the change occurred), also notes about our interactions with this person, or their role in the organization (ie. they are an assistant to someone, etc.)

  8. I searched and didn't see this in the idea archive. We receive a lot of compliants about character count. I am guessing character count gives you a better estimate of space needed but folks are accustomed to using word count for other applications. I think word count is the norm.

  9. I would love to be able to break up long applications into tabbed sections or, better yet, separate pages. The ability to add section breaks and group questions that came with GLM 2.0 helps. But I still think it would be easier for grant seekers to navigate long applications if questions were organized on different pages.

    Survey Moneky has a nice interface for organizing questions in multiple page surveys. Their interface doesn't allow users to select pages by clicking on a tab, which is what I would love to see, but it does allow users to flip between pages that…

  10. I would like to see follow-up questions and attachments available in mail merge. I imagine this is not currently available because we're generating mail merge fields for a specific process (follow-up forms not being "connected" to a process, and thus not included in the mail merge). Is this something that could be added?

  11. Hi all,

    Sorry if this has been addressed elsewhere. I am new to the community but did a couple of searches.

    Anyway, one thing that would really help me out is if I could import data in bulk from Excel (either a .xls or .csv, doesn't really matter) to the GLM. Two specific things I would use this for:

    -Adding or updating info within organization profiles (many of them didn't put in their websites, for ex)

    -Inputting data when I'm approving a bunch of grants (the grant $ amount / installments, some report fields we use for internal coding, etc.)

  12. When Board members view grants under Application Evaluation (Board Member), the grants come up in columns: Process, Organization, Applicant, Project, Score Status. Would it be possible to add a column for "Requested Amount?" Our Board members would like to be able to sort the grants by the amount of money being requested. In this way, they can quickly find the grants requesting larger amounts of money and review them first; giving them a higher priority. This would speed up their review process. Thank you.

  13. Several of our applicants have asked if it were possible to include spell check as an option for checking the forms for a grant before submitting the application, LOI, grant report.

  15. How about adding a progress bar to the top of the screen on the application forms so that applicants can see their progress? ...like in online surveys. I think this would be helpful. This could also be included when creating a new account. Personally, I feel more motivated to complete online forms when I see progress being made.

  16. It would be helpful if there were also a "Save as Draft" button at the top, in addition to the one at the bottom, of grant applications, etc. Or at least a message somewhere near the Question Legend icon at the top informing users that they need to regularly save and the button to do this is at the bottom of the page.

  17. Could you more clearly delineate different sections of the evaluation in the print packet? I've attached an image to provide an example of a print packet we find a little confusing. Could a line go between the section "Comments on ...." and the next question? For example between "Comments on Program Implementation Plan & Feasibility" and "Staffing"? The way the spacing is currently, the two look like the are connected.

    This would be particularly helpful when scores and comments cross pages.

    Thanks.

  18. As promised, I am pulling this from a thread I started about the issue of bad characters in order to hopefully see it resolved in new releases of GLM. Essentially, unusual characters like é or even the apostrophe become corrupted when exporting data into a CSV file for use in Excel. I did get a response that at least one other person is seeing this with typical US English text. Since so many of us are dependent upon using this in Excel or other programs, it would be nice to have the characters exported correctly without extra work after the…

  19. First, thank you for creating the Shared Documents feature. We are excited to post pertinent docs for Board sharing there.

    As a compliment to that feature, it would be fantastic if you could create a calendar feature whereby we could post dates, times and call-in info for board meetings, and relevant internal Board and Staff dates that pertain to our grants processes (application deadlines, etc.).

    Thanks

  20. When updating a user profile in SLM it's very frustrating that the system forces you to then add the mailing address information though it is not required to create the profile in the first place. Can you remove that requirement?
