Tabbed sections in Applications
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…

Mail Merge for Follow-Ups
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?

Import / upload data from Excel to report fields, organization profiles...
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.)

Board Member View of Grants - Add a Column for Requested Amount
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.

Email format in Organization View
We give grants to non-profits and international organizations. . . . .many of whom have email addresses ending in ".org", or other international designations.
PLEASE don't restrict my email address format to " mailto:name@domain.com "

Add progress bar
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.

"Save as Draft"
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.

Evaluation Print Packet - More clearly delineate sections, score and comments
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.

Making Bad Characters Good.
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…

Board & Grants Calendar Feature
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

updating profile
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?

Updating User Accounts
When updating an existing contact, a prefix is required- the user was already in system without one. Usually this is not an issue, but occasionally it requires extra time to confirm if the individual is a doctor, Ms. vs Mrs., etc. If my goal was to update a phone number or address, this extra requirement can prevent a quick change.

Frequently asked questions
Is there a FAQ attachment for organizations/users trying to edit contact information for their organization.

Merge fields
Merge fields are Great! 1 little challenge though. I have applicants who put spaces at the end of their name and org and other weird places :) which means my punctuation is off. For example Dear Fred , is what shows up instead of Dear Fred, Thanks Team... you are awesome!

Quick Export should default "export all" on dashboard buckets too
In the Requests & Decisions screen, if you select Quick Export from Batch Options and neglected to select any applications, it gives you the option to export all requests in the list. This is very useful, since I never remember to select applications at the top of the list, and there is no "check all" option at the bottom, which means I then have to scroll up to the top. This happens... a lot.
However, in the dashboard buckets, if you select Quick Export from Batch Options and neglected to select any applications, it says you must select at least…

Text & Upload Button should not disappear / explanatory pop-up
When a user views a follow up that is not assigned to them (but to another user associated with the organization), the Text & Upload fields lose the "Upload a File" button and look like a text-only field. Also, when the administrator views the assigned follow-up, the button is also missing (and only reappears if you click the Edit icon at the right hand of the question). I find this unnecessarily confusing. I would rather have the button stay in place, but be "grayed out" (not respond to clicking), so that it doesn't look like a text-only field.
Also, it…

Searching for organizations- abbreviations and punctuation
When searching for organizations, it would be great if abbreviations and punctuation would not be a limiting factor.
Example: Searching- St. Marys Hall, St. Mary’s Hall, Saint Mary’s Hall, Saint Marys Hall- if any of the previous are entered, results not find a similar (same) organization unless it is an exact match.3 votesThanks for your time in the idea lab.

Back to search results
I'm not quite sure if this is the same as the idea described below, but we typically like to search for organizations by City or State. Let's say we use TX as the search for organization state. Then we get a long list of organizations by state. But if we click on ONE of those and it's the wrong organization, we have to start the whole search over again. It would be awesome to have a "Back to Search Results" button without having to start completely over.

EIN input format
It would be helpful if applicants were not permitted to input EIN numbers in an incorrect format. When running charity checks, the number one reason they come back without information is that the organization has keyed their own EIN incorrectly, usually just missing the dash. Current state, I go in and adjust for them. Ideal state, they aren't allowed to input incorrectly in the first place.
