Followup Deadlines Issues
Many issue arise when several followups are assigned regarding the deadline. Would like to suggest that the while the deadline is the major factor, allow grantees to enter data and even submit followups without being hampered by the deadline.

Locking and Unlocking Groups in a Process
Is there a way to lock and unlock the "Groups" in a process? It seems that they get unintentionally re-arranged.

Sort follow ups by form name, then by due date.
It would be great to have the ability to sort follow ups first by form name, then by due date. Right now you can only sort the follow ups by one field. I would like to be able to sort all the Final Reports as a group, then within that group sort them by Due Date, then the Interim Reports the same way.

2 part installments
We are planning on changing our payment schedules to twice a year and would like to label the installments something like: installment 5 part 1 and installment 5 part 2. Breaking installments into 2 parts would help us out immensely!

Selecting evaluation teams
We do 12 grant rounds per year and 12 different eval teams. Our list of evaluators is long. I love that we can search by name when selecting our evaluation teams... would it be possible to add a column to the Evaluator selection page for organizations? This way I could create and org for each committee and would be able to quickly select my eval team for that grant round. Thanks for considering this :)

In evaluations, there should be a way to decline to review an LOI due to COI.
In some situations, even the hint of a conflict of interest can stink up a good reputation. I think being able to decline to review an LOI before accessing the LOI (based on the applicant name or organization) would be a great addition! In academia, COIs are constantly there and it is a small world!

Manually ordering buckets
It would be great to manually order buckets. Right now we would like to group grant applications by focus area. I understand that they can only be ordered by the categories along the top, and I'm not asking for a focus area category on the list, but if we could move them manually, I could put them in the order I want, by myself...just a suggestion. Thanks!

Blind evaluations by process instead of as a site attribute
We have only one process that requires true anonymous evaluations. It is very important those reviewers not see the organization information block. However, the evaluation period coincides with evaluations of other processes that need the organization information block. We would greatly appreciate being able to turn on this feature for only one process instead of the whole site to work for all of our committees! Thanks!

Installment date calculating
When adding installments after approving a form the second installment date should be automatically calculated if I add months between installments and the first installment date

Data integrity - disallow editing of older request data
I would like to see some more controls regarding historical data.
For example, I think it would be helpful to have a setting creating rules to help alleviate user errors (miskey, accidents, etc.). I would like to see the ability to "close" a period in time, allowing only certain types of input from that date forward. This would allow an admin to decide: okay 2016 is "closed", we don't expect any more payments to happen with 2016 dates and no more decision with 2016 dates. With that, the system would disallow a decision date or payment date prior to 1/1/2017…

Amount Awarded, shared question comma
It would be very helpful if the comma would carryover from the Approval stage Amount Awarded when it is a shared question in a follow up. Without the comma it is very difficult for grant recipients to read the amount awarded, especially when there are multiple zeros in the dollar amount.
The dollar sign and comma appear in the Follow Up Packet and Approval Packet. This makes me wonder if it's a system glitch.
Thanks!

Deadline causes backlog
The system only allows for one form to be submitted and completed before another form can be started. This causes a backlog as some forms are of less importance, and others cannot be started.
Suggestion: Ability to allow follow-ups to be started (and saved) regardless of the due date, but cannot be submitted until the other follow-ups are complete. This allows the grantee to get their data into the system as it is available instead of holding it to enter all at once.

follow up due date
Hi all! I have a request concerning follow up form due dates. We like to post the dates of our interim grant reports as well as the post grant report due dates in our grant contracts. Some grants have just 1 interim report, others may have 6 if it's a multiyear grant program. Right now, merge fields are set up just as "follow up form due date 1; follow up due date 2." My issue with that is that if I merge a contract where there is more than 1 interim report, the date of interim report #2 will show…

Checking in followups
Our staff have different responsibilities when checking in Quarterly follow up forms. The first step is a budget and expenditure review. It then goes to different staff person who reviews the narrative portions of the report. Right now, we keep an excel form and check off when the financial is reviewed and ready for narrative review. It would be nice to see online when the financial is done and the follow up is ready to move on for the narrative review.

Double check that one wants a grant abandoned
I have experienced a glitch where a grant which has a payment attached to it was marked abandoned. It would be great if when the word abandoned is clicked that you have to also type the word abandon in all capital letters.

Adjust the internal process visibility
For internal processes, there are still some things that an applicant can view. They will see the Process Name and Project Name... even if all questions are internal.
Here are a few recommended adjustments:
1. Not let an applicant view any of the information.
2. Allow them to see the Process Name but not the Project Name.
3. If no changes can be made to what the applicant views, then change the visibility option in the Project Name question in the process. Right now I have selected the visibility is "Internal", but our applicants can see this! Yikes! It's misleading.…2 votesThanks for your time in the idea lab.

Board Track for Summit
I encourage you to include a Board track in the next summit. Sessions geared toward the Board Chair or other designee would be very helpful in general to the Foundations and also Board members. Perhaps you can make it free for one Board member with every paid Foundation employee. Not just technical, but that is needed, but also how to use the data collected, but to also help with expectations from Board to staff.

Undecided grants showing $0 granted in history
I just had a call from a grantee hoping to find out the status of his proposal. The grant is still undecided in the system, but he got worried when he saw $0 under 'Granted' in his organization history. It's a small thing, but is there a way to make undecided grant amounts a dash ( - ) or something other than a 0? Thanks!
