  1. I would love to have access to a dynamic budget planning tool, that allow me to have a global budget for my fiscal year, with various funding streams options AND with a provisional budget option that would take into account the proposed amount we enter in yet-to-be approved requests.

    For the time being, I use an Excel file to achieve this, which is time consuming and error-prone. This option would save so much time!

  2. Since COVID, most foundations have moved away from paper checks to ACH payments. It would be helpful to change the name of the field in Installments/Make a Payment from Check Number to Payment Number.

  3. For table questions, it would be very helpful to have all text entered into a text field be visible in the field online. Currently, if the table has four columns, the field is quite short and text is not visible to administrators nor evaluators. Either having the text wrap in some fashion, or even having the ability to customize the column width so that text columns are wider than say an integer column.

  4. When I'm configuring automatic emails for a form, I always click the eye icon to preview the template. For some reason, it includes all the information that's been set up in the template except for the cc/bcc fields. It would save some navigation if those were included along with all the other template information already displayed - I currently have to navigate to the actual email template to review which addresses have/have not been included in the cc/bcc fields in the template, which sort of negates the usefulness of the preview function within the configuration view.

  5. I am suggesting that the header area be made editable. It would be worthwhile if we could truly mimic our website header (logo and navigation) so the user thinks they never truly leave our website since there is no option to embed Foundant forms.

  6. The "close request" button has caused confusion for our staff. It's being clicked accidentally. As you go through the scholarship workflow, you often click the buttons in the bottom right corner. The Close Request button is located in the bottom right, but is not a button we want clicked. I also think using the word Closed is not the right word to use. Could the button be moved and the name changed to indicate something more drastic? "Close" can sound like you are just finishing this particular step in the process. Thank you!

  7. It would be helpful if there were an option to copy applications without uploads. Often we only want the basic info and not the uploads, especially in a process with branching logic that only requires the uploads based on the answers. It's a problem to change or delete the prior uploads: first you have to answer the branching question with the value that shows them, take action, then change the answer back to the current value.

  8. When you go to create documents, place "Choose File Type" at top of box above document listing. I have a long list of documents and can't see "Choose File Type;" although I'm learning, I frequently don't understand why clicking "Create Document" doesn't do anything.

  9. We would find it very useful to be able to assign a completed follow up to reviewers so that they could see the results of the grant they recommended for funding. Currently we have to export this info and merge it into a Word doc to share this with them.

  10. We have a scholarship with a 2-step evaluation process. It would be great if we could customize the dashboard view of Evaluators to show not just the score, but Evaluator responses to one of the custom questions. Our committee is sophisticated enough that they are comfortable changing the sort order on the available columns, and adding an additional column to show an additional assessment question would provide them with more flexibility.

  11. We have several stages of evaluation; the two evaluations are not sufficient for us to be able to understand and assess applications effectively. It would be helpful if we could add additional evaluations, as needed, by process.

  12. It would be a huge timesaver if there were an option for Batch Denied applications to be move to Denial Draft.

    If you have a lot of applications, it takes a a very long time to do this one application at a time.

  13. There is a red circle with a backslash icon that appears when applicants try to copy and paste from their LOI to Proposal Application. This icon confuses Applicants because they are in fact able to copy and paste.

    I am getting several emails from applicants who don't understand they can still copy and paste. Please delete the confusing red circle backslash icon.

  14. It would be helpful to allow applicants to add rows/columns to tables in the event they need more space than we have built out. The function would need to be made so that the admin could lock rows and columns if needed so that the applicant cannot add fields outside of summary rows, for example.

  15. An idea! Currently, there is no way to batch email only users who are actively assigned to a scholarship committee. There is only a way to email all users who have scholarship committee as their role. This would be helpful with sending pre evaluation updates before evaluations are assigned. Currently, you have to manually send out emails to those assigned to committees.

  16. It would be helpful if we could print the question list based on the current preview options. When using the Universal Application there are supplemental questions for specific opportunities. You can preview as a Reviewer and for a specific opportunity, which allows you to see what the reviewer will see when evaluating applications for that specific committee. But if you choose the Question List from that point, so that it can be printed or downloaded, it brings up everything, even the "administrator only" questions. We need to be able to print a Question List to send to our External Committee's…

  17. We have 20+ scholarships that want applicant names suppressed from applications in the evaluation process. We have always had the student fill out the "Project Name" field with their name. This year, we had everything setup to suppress applicant details from the evaluators, but did not realize that the "Project Name" cannot be suppressed. We had to manually go in and change every student's name to a code in the Project Name field.

    Short of instructing students in the future to not use their name as the project name field, is there any chance the Project Name field could also…

  19. It would be great to have the ability to increase the character count in the "Comments" tab under Organizational profiles. We use the tab for a summary of a grant once it is closed and any grant management comments of note. We often find that with grants that are a year long or more, we have far more to write than the current character count allows.

  20. Would love to have the ability to set a separate due date for third-party responses. For example, student application is due March 15th and the system closes, but third-party due date is March 22nd then automatically closes.
