  1. It would be nice to be able to see how much traffic our Foundant site gets from applicants. For example, does traffic go up after we run social media posts? We can currently run a report to show applications in any status, but that doesn't capture everything, like people who log in to work on an application that remains in draft status.

  2. We are using internal follow up assignments very frequently for staff to complete verbal reports with grant partners. When the report form is complete, they have to click "Submit Follow Up" then go back to their dashboard to access the submitted report, open it and mark it complete. If it's the final report assigned then they also close the grant. To help streamline better, it would be really helpful to have another button offered for internal follow up forms for "Submit Follow Up and Mark Report Complete". If doing that would make the same button appear on the external follow…

  3. We import awards into CSuite for scholarships where the applications originate outside of SLM (i.e. our education foundation partners who manage their own application processes but we pay awards for them) and then sync them to SLM to be able to use the Follow Up functionality for getting necessary paperwork from the awardees. BUT--- there is no way to de-dupe the users in the CSuite to SLM sync process, so duplicate applicant profiles are created in SLM when we do this if the student already has a SLM profile. It creates a lot of extra manual work to have to…

  4. It would be a nice QoL change if the pre-filter screen had the option to select none of the request statuses. More efficient than having to deselect everything I don't want.

  5. add a pop up when you click Application Incomplete to say "are you sure? this will revert the application to Draft" or a popup similar to when you merge an org. and have to type MERGE to confirm.

  6. Our organization is one of a small number making up a collaborative fund, all using the Foundant platform. It would be great to be able to share information (applications, reports, etc.) across our respective accounts.

  7. We'd like to be able to insert the "next installment" in our letters to grantees vs. a table that shows all installments. At this time the table is our only option aside from merging the total award amount.

  8. Despite all the Grants Manager permissions being off there is no permission that would restrict them from being able to use the "Assign Next Form" button to invite LOI applicants to complete the full proposal/application.
    A colleague accidentally invited a full application because he was confused and pushed the wrong button. If you turn off all permissions, they shouldn't have this high level permission.

  9. When building a table question, It would be GREAT to be able to edit read-only cells. I confirmed with Support that at present, read-only cells do not allow you to edit their content other than their label, yet applicants cannot see cell labels. This means that any read-only cell that is not in a summary row will always show up to applicants as a blank cell.

    This is confusing because it makes it seem like you have the option to do something you don't, e.g. put readable content in read-only cells. I would love to be able to do something…

  10. Grant adjustment documentation and automation (new idea) – I want to have a special workflow where I can have an “amendment form” that, if approved, will push out due dates, adjust the grant purpose, etc. while still retaining the original terms agreed to.

  11. Question Library - As an admin, I want to be able to add the same question across multiple forms and have the responses all tie together in reporting. Currently, if I add a new question to separate processes, I have to re-create that question in every single process and then the responses don’t show up in the same column in reporting.

  12. Our SLM currently runs 2 universes and multiple independent processes simultaneously (and that number is only going to grow). The main administrator dashboard mixes all of those statuses (draft, submitted, assigned, etc.) together. In order to find the information I am looking for, I have to filter the processes, but with multiple universes and processes, that can get very time-consuming. Can there be a button/dropdown on the dashboard that allows me to only see the applicants for the universe that I choose?

  13. It would be great if we could toggle the "approve request" feature on and off - especially at the LOI stage, but really at either. It is concerning that someone could approve the request accidentally. Right now we have turned off any automatic emails so that if this does happen the applicant isn't alerted, but it would be nice to simply turn the feature on only when needed.

  15. We have over 50 applicant processes, rather then make 1:All other processes that have Copy functionality enabled, could we have a group by function with the Copy Functionality?

    IE Process 1 - 10 are of one group and they can copy between each other then 11-15 are of another group and they can copy between each process.

  16. This is actually an Idea Lab request (meta, I know). The email sent when you reset your password in Idea Lab looks kinda sketchy. It doesn't mention Idea Lab or Foundant at all and I hesitated to click on the link for fear that there was a security risk. It would be great if that email could include more contextual information to make it clearer that it's trustworthy.

  18. It would be amazing if the staff evaluator roles have access to the Requests and Decisions search page and view any requests on the site via that page.

    Our foundation is invite-only, and most of our partners are returning, so it's important for program officers to review past requests.

    Currently, our program officers are assigned as Grants Manager role on Foundant, so they can have access to past requests. However, I worry that it's too much access for them, and I don't want them to accidentally click on something (or delete) on the site especially if they're not fully trained…

  19. For dollar amounts, commas and decimals to automatically appear when entering amounts.
    Allow summing across columns.
    Sums should take the same format as what is entered in the fields. Currently, when summed, the dollar amounts appear as just a number with no dollar sign, commas, or decimals.

    Allow for selecting of the specific fields to sum rather than all fields with the column.
