move new help icon
I appreciate the new help button, but sometimes the big blue question mark balloon is in the way. I'd rather it was up on top with the Compass and Idea Lab, etc. icons.

Candid Demographics/DEI integration
I would like to add the demographics / DEI questions directly from CANDID/Guidestar to the application or or summary. Would love to pull in the questions and answers so they show up in the application, instead of on the charity check. This way we can more easily run a report and track the diversity of our grantees.

Please let people know that if they assign follow up forms, applicants can see this info even if they haven't been notified of their award.
I asked tech support about submitting approvals and denials ahead of sending letters out to applicants. They said that I should go ahead and assign follow up forms after submitting installments. I did this, and now I've had two applicants who haven't been notified about their awards email me asking about the forms and why they haven't received a letter. The reason is b/c the letters haven't gone out. We don't want applicants to know about their awards until the letters have gone out because we don't want them announcing their awards until a later date. This has been rather…

Expand batch options for downloading PDF copies and assigning follow-up forms
Would help quite a lot. Have 200 applications for review and some folks requested PDF copies. Having to download each individually takes a long time.
Also assigning a follow up form for project modification, extensions, etc. Having to send 1 form to 200 people could be sped up if batch options were present for more functions disassociated from email.

Packet File Names include Organization Name and Project Name
When you download a packet, the system defaults to including the Project Name+"Packet".
In my downloaded file backups, I manually add the Organization Names to the beginning of each of these, and the word, "Application."
Please make it so the file name is:
"Organization Name+Project Name+Form Name/Type"29 votes -
Question Fields: Ability to make Charts/Tables/Grids
It would be a great tool to have in the application, review and reporting stages to have the ability to create tables for grantees to fill out (text fields, not necessarily complex budget tables (But Budget tables would also be appreciated ;) )
Although I understand the background work to make this happen is difficult, I think it would be a very strong and well used feature.

Increase Character Limits for Instruction Questions
The instruction character count is 1000. I think that this should be increased to at least 2000. This is an ideal area to include instructions to the applicant and reviewer and sometimes those instructions are detailed. Limiting the count to 1000 forces the creation of two instruction fields or reducing the number of characters and thus, changing the risking the understanding of the instructions.

After submitting common applications, opportunities with internal visibility opportunity specific questions still must be manually submitted.
Expected result: When no opportunity specific questions are visible to applicants, automatically submit like an opportunity with no opportunity specific questions

Change Color of Administrator Comments
It would be really helpful if the color of Administrator Comments could be changed from grey. I know it changes to blue when you make it visible to an Applicant, which makes it so much easier to see. But the Admin Comment stays grey and I find myself skipping over comments because they do not stick out.
24 votesHi All,
We recently changed the look and feel of admin comments. We hope these have made them stand out more. Please feel free to follow up if you have feedback on this change.

SLM Universal Application follow ups
With different follow-up forms for each process within a Universal Application, it would be very helpful to be able to delete unused ones and move them around in the list.

Multiple Answers for Demographic Questions
Question Type for Demographics
It would be nice to have a question type that would allow for multiple parts to be under the same question. Right now we have to create separate questions for each group. For example:
What ages are the clients you serve?
Ages 0-18
Ages 19-44
Ages 45-64
Ages 65+1 vote -
Integrate budget into application
We often ask grant applicants to include a copy of their budget. It would be helpful if a budget form could actually be included in the application process, rather than as just a separate file upload.

Change Applicant Dashboard View
A lot of our users get confused when they initially look at their applicant dashboard because all of the grant requests are expanded and finding each individual grant gets confusing. Also, the title of each grant does not stand out very well since it is just a grey button. It would be helpful if we could change the default view of the applicant dashboard so that all of the requests are collapsed, and then you can click on each to expand, instead of starting with the expanded view.

Delay Access to 1st Assigned Follow Up until Grant Status is APPROVED.
We need to assign reporting dates/payment dates in the system at least two weeks prior to our board approval in order to generate our grant letters. Currently, when we do this, we have the option to set a time period in settings to say, 14 days later before the grantee sees the grant as approved - it shows as UNDECIDED until those 14 days are up, even though the grantee can see the follow ups. That's great, but grantees are now logging in and completing the 1st follow up (for us the grant terms acceptance), even though the grant is…

Collaborator Field
It would be helpful for administrators to have a field (in the request summary or somewhere else) so they can see if there are collaborators in a request.

still submit without required upload?
I have a required document upload question with in my Universal application within SLM. How were students able to submit applications without the required upload? That shouldn't be a thing in the system.

Allow grantees to submit a follow-up before the previous one has been marked "complete"
Allow grantees to submit a follow-up before the previous one has been marked "complete." Currently, grantees are unable to submit final reports before we internally have marked the interim reports as complete. There should be a feature that enables us to choose whether grantees can submit the next follow-up before the previous one is marked as "complete"

Next button
I would like to have a "Next" or "Previous/Back" button to move through applications when logged in as administrators (similar to what was just done with the evaluators!). So, instead of selecting "Return to Application Submitted", I can use next to move to the next application. When I am reviewing several applications, I don't like having to remember which one I just read and which one is next after being taken back to the entire listing.
This would be helpful in all of the application statuses - Draft, Submitted, and Complete.
