  1. Currently we request financial audits at the application and report stage in a grant cycle. This often means the same audit lives in two places.

    I would be great if users could upload files (audits, in this case) to the Organization Documents tab to keep everything in one place.

  2. Improve the new applicant dashboard in SLM. We utilize SLM primarily for our scholarship program but do also have two awards programs that we also use SLM to run the nomination process. Our scholarship processes are all connected with eligibility quizzes, therefore when the scholarship season is closed, our dahsboard now looks like this. Please consider making the yellow card larger to fill the top space so that 1. All the information populates without needing to click 'See More,' and 2. Makes the new dashboard more appealing for a user as the current view is empty and looks incomplete.

  3. When extending the due date for a process, the LOIs that were already in draft status didn't update to the new due date. This caused confusion for the applicant when trying to submit the LOI. The solution was for our team to go into each draft individually and change the due date for drafts created before the process extension. (Drafts created after the extension showed the new due date.)

  4. We have a question used in several processes. I propose a question maintained in the process manager than can be added to multiple processes. We would have one location to maintain the response options for simplicity/authority. It would also streamline reporting metrics with uniform answers for comparison.

  5. Please add back the live form preview option on the new user dashboard rather than just the PDF option.

  6. In GLM/SLM on the application allow for an option to require one of two questions. For example: Enter Budget OR Upload Budget. Right now we need to have them both unrequired to allow for one to remain blank but would like to require that at least one of them be filled out.

  7. I think users/members of an organization should be able to make other users in their organization inactive rather than admin having to do it on the backend.

    It appears that a lot of users were ported over from our last system which makes it so the user profiles for many organizations that we work with are outdated. We as admin don't know who's current in their organizations and who is inactive. They know. Additionally, board members and board presidents change roles frequently. It would be helpful if organizations could manage that themselves as opposed to admin having to do that.

  8. Each month, our organization has dozens of journal entries that are imported for payroll and other month-end close items. Importing these entries is great as they spread across multiple funds. However, after importing, it's a pain to attach the same file dozens of times for documentation purposes. It would be extremely helpful if there was a button on the "list" journal entry screen (the one that shows all pending or approved entries) to attach a singular file to all selected entries.

    I think this could work similarly to the "Post all" feature available so you don't need to post each…

  10. It would be extremely helpful if we could indicate that a grant is an annually recurring opportunity, so that it would automatically be created each year, rather than having to do so manually.

  11. For the new applicant apply page, for the preview application button, is there a way to have it show as the application and not the PDF? We have several applications that use branching logic and the full load out in the PDF may confuse applicants.

  12. We would love if in the comment section you can add a date, not just have it default to the date it was added. We might go in once a week and add all the emails and comments, but it will only put in the date we enter it. AND if we edit it, it gives a new date, not the one it was created on.

    Wouldn't hurt if we could attach a document to a comment :)

  13. Documents: Forms and Files - challenging layout
    In the new applicant experience, it appears the applicant will click on "Documents" to access their LOI, Application, follow-up forms, and any documents uploaded by the administrator. It seems confusing for the word "Documents" to encapsulate all of those aspects of the process. And then
    it seems odd that "Forms" includes the LOI, the Application, and any of the follow-up forms. Perhaps it's just that I'm accustomed to thinking of those as separate parts of the process and thus should be put into their own buckets.
    In the old experience, it's much easier…

  14. A Chat feature to be able to help students in the moment could be very helpful.

    Student behavior - Once they leave an application it is hard to get them back to finish it. Students are used to using a CHAT feature when they need help. They often won't pick up a phone for help & are hesitant to send emails.

    I would rather help them in the moment then spend time on my Dashboard figuring out why they have some applications in draft, some in submitted and emailing them how to keep going. (Students often don't read emails)

    It…

  16. Under the View Organization History system setting, it would be helpful to have an option of "Organization-by-Organization". Right now there are three options 1)All, 2)None, 3) User-by-user. It would be helpful to have it an option for Organization-by-Organization for those orgs who have the same EIN# but separate local chapters (or schools, in the case of a school district). For these type of applicants, we only want them to see their own chapter's information; but for all the rest of our nonprofit applicants, with the high turnover of NPO staff, it's helpful for them to see their entire organizational history.

  17. We believe the administrator comment function is valuable. Its impact could be even stronger if given the option to notify the applicant that a new administrator comment has been added to their application. This seems to work well for the Idea Lab!

  18. It would be really helpful to ask all system users/contacts for their preferred gender pronouns (e.g. she/her/hers, he/him/his, they/them/their, and so on). In this day and age, it's important to people to be correctly addressed.

  19. During the registration process, it would be very helpful if the address had an autocomplete option similar to how many online retailers do these days.

    When filling in the address 1 line, the system would automatically start showing the full street address based on what the applicant has input so far. Then, they'd be able to select their address from the drop-down list and this would automatically populate the remaining address fields on the registration form.

    This is a common practice with online retailers today and would be incredibly helpful in GLM/SLM as many applicants don't correctly input their address…

  20. Applicants love the collaborator feature, but they are confused with "Can view, Can edit or Can submit" because they do not understand the permissions are additive. Would it be possible to change these to "Can view", "Can edit" and "Can edit and submit"? Even an explanatory pop-up would be helpful.

    Would also like an additional checkbox "Allow to invite other collaborators" or such. My applicants are asking for this. Either that or include it as part of the Submit permission.

    I know that this was submitted in the past, I am suggesting it again.
