Place eligibility quiz in a place where it is accessible to everyone with samples on how to set them up for scholarships and grants
I would like to learn how to use the eligibility quiz for both my applications and scholarships in order to streamline the ineligible applicants.

Text Ranking with Score
We would love the ability to display ranking options in text to our evaluators, such as
Extremely Clear
Very Clear
Somewhat Clear
Not So Clear
Not at All ClearBUT - We'd like to store them as numeric data so that
Extremely Clear =5
Very Clear =4
Somewhat Clear =3
Not So Clear =2
Not at All Clear =1To be clear, we don't want to show the numeric to the evaluator, just the text.
Currently, we use a complicated formula to calculate the data.1 vote -
Numeric Grant Numbers
Can Foundant add numeric grant numbers that auto-counts grants in a process?
For example, we support research projects and grantees need to acknowledge it in the research paper with something to the effect of "We acknowledge financial support from "Foundation Name" under grant # ("Foundation Acronym"-***) at the end of the paper. The grant number allows for tracking where we would enter in the grant number in something like Google Scholar and see how many papers have been published through it.
Right now, there are no unique identifiers for Grants to track externally.

Collapse blank table rows in packet PDFs
Currently, when I create a table that may have an unknown number of rows used (such as asking applicants to list the date, time, location of grant-funded events), I just have to guess at what might be the right number of rows to add. If an applicant only uses one row of 10 available, the application packet will still print all 10 rows and use up a lot of space. Can blank rows be collapsed in the application packet?
(Even better would be to allow applicants to add rows if needed, but I suspect that's more complicated.)

Sub-subtotals in Tables
The addition of the subtotal function within tables is great, but more is needed for it to be compatible with my workflow. In particular, I would like to be able to have a subtotal that captures other subtotals.
For example, I have one grant that has three funding categories, and one non-funding category. I can subtotal each of the three funding categories, but it won't let me then see a subtotal of those three added together, only the total of the three funding categories plus the non-funding category (which I also need, but I want to see both). Otherwise I…

Better tables with predefined choices for columns.
Often I have a series of yes/no questions that might be easier or less intimidating to an applicant if they were in a single table. While I know that I can create that using a drop down menu, it would require less of the system, and potentially move faster if it were a choice for a column setting. The same concept (creating a column setting) would also be useful to number rows that data is entered in.

Include Applicant/User Registration information as a shared question
It would be helpful for grant agreements to be able to have the organization and user registration information available to populate the agreement form. Otherwise they need to be entered again to have a stand-alone document.

Shared ANSWERS within an application
It would be helpful to have answers that were selected earlier from a drop down list be able to carry over to another part of the application.
Totals from tables carrying over to a budget summary table would also be useful.1 vote -
Regular Expression - Project Request Field
Limits on Project Request Field
Please allow us to enter regular expressions for the project request field or impose limits in any way. Currently, we use this field for scholarship applications as Initials and Last 4 Digits in an attempt to reduce as much bias during evaluation season. However, despite an 8 character limit, students will forgo their initials, etc. It would be great to have a unified type of answer.
Example: IAS 4777 or IS 4777
Regular Expression provided by Foundant Support would solve this - ^([a-zA-Z]{2,3})((\s)([0-9]{4}))?$1 vote -
Prepopulate Answers in Decision Forms
It would be helpful to prepopulate answers in decision forms in the process manager, similar to how you can prepopulate follow up dates. That would allow for much easier approval and denial; it may even allow for batching.
Example: There may be a generic 2022 Approval Form that I could use across several processes. But in the process manager for a specific process, I could indicate the Board date, the program officer, the grant type, and any other filed on the form that is the same across all awards/denials for that opportunity. This would allow for consistent answers and greatly…
