Approve all payment installments through UA Related Opportunities tab
It would be more efficient if UA scholarship installments could be approved from the Related Opportunities tab rather than having to click into each opportunity separately and navigate to the award details tab.
1 voteHello,
Thank you for your feedback! I also want to make sure you know you can batch approve installments from the payment tracking page today.

3rd Party Decline Option:
We have had instances where we are reaching out to 3rd party requests (specifically with LOR) and they refuse to submit a letter on the student's behalf. Would it be possible or beneficial for there to be a decline option in the automated email so the student can find someone else? And yes, we do include strong language to encourage students to talk with teachers/counselors they would like to have submit a letter of recommendation on their behalf.

Reverting documents
On a couple of occasions, I have accidentally reverted an application from application draft to LOI draft. Unfortunately, this erases all entries that were made to the application. I would like to see if this can be altered to allow all information that is entered in application draft to be retained. Otherwise, the applicant must re-enter all information and upload associated documentation again. I understand this is my mistake, but this is not a user friendly feature. Thank you.

Streamlining Third Party Question Groups
Asking an applicant to compose an email to their anonymous third party is an extra step that overcomplicates things. The applicant has to deal with opening up an email interface, copy-pasting a pre-written message, etc. And for what? It's redundant to send the third party an email explaining that they'll be getting another email.
It should work like references on a resume. Provide us with the third party's email address, and we'll contact them ourselves. Simple as.

We have expanded to use this application to our Europe locations. As of right now, the Amount Requested is hard coded to ONLY dollars. Is there any interest in expanding this to other currencies?

Link Sharing Errors
When sharing a link to an LOI, Application, or Follow Up with someone on your team to easily access, the link often produces an error message, especially when the team member has another tab open to the Foundant login page. We would appreciate being able to share links to data within the platform without those links resulting in errors.

Update Time Stamps - Re-submitted Follow Ups
The submission date does not update on follow - up forms that were re-submitted after being reverted to draft status. It would be great to have the most current date of submission.

Increase number of columns in tables
To effectively use Tables as a shared question in a Follow Up (as stated in documentation, very helpful for Budget and ongoing grantee progress statements) - being limited to only 5 columns does not allow for multi-year grants especially
2 votesThank you for this feedback. We currently have the limitation to making sure tables easily appear on screens and print packers but are continuing to evaluate ways to expand this functionality.

Indicator of which follow up you're viewing under a request
It would be helpful when reviewing follow ups under a request to be able to tell which follow up you're currently viewing. We have to toggle between follow up sometimes during our review process, and the questions within the forms are mostly the same, the follow ups are tagged for the year it is to be submitted, though as you toggle back and forth it's hard to identify under which follow up you're under to provide approval/recommendations.

Differentiate between applicant-abandoned and administrator-abandoned applications
I would like to see the ability to run a report that differentiates between applications that are applicant-abandoned vs. admin-abandoned. Use case: We had to close several opportunities after they opened. Students who had already applied (or had applications in-progress) were notified, and their applications were abandoned (admin-abandoned). In some cases, a student had abandoned an application prior, and it would be helpful for a report to show whether the abandon was initiated by the applicant or by an admin.

Star Grant Reports for Sharing
I would love a way to flag or star specific grant reports with high-quality content/photos for sharing out. We are working on sharing more of our grantee success stories and it would be great to save specific reports we want to share later on, potentially with the ability to create a report of these follow ups so we can find them easily.

follow up views
Please provide the option to have the Process name appear in the follow-up view. Currently we have the same Follow-up form appearing from three different processes but have no idea which process each one is related to. This is only going to become a bigger issue as time goes by.

pdf with no comments
We use the Administrator Comments feature to provide draft review feedback to our applicants. Many applicants use the comments, then want us to remove them so that they can create a clean PDF of their completed application. We don't want to delete our comments as that is part of the grant process record, but we also don't want reviewers to be able to see the comments. Right now, our only option is to make all the comments not visible to applicants, proxy as the applicant, download the PDF, then make all the comments visible to the applicant again. This is…

GLM Linkage to QuickBooks for Grantee Organizations
There needs to be a way to link GLM Organizations to QB Online or Desktop via Other rather than Vendor. Vendor linkage is fine for true vendors who have provided a good or service, but the IRS requires that grantors receive no goods or services from their grantees. This is a legal definition. Thus, you are mixing two distinct groups whom a grantor pays.

Evaluator view grid
I heard from an Evaluator who was frustrated with the view of a grid/table on his evaluator view. As he was working in the side-by-side (evaluator/application) view, he coudln't see any of the content of the (in this case) Student Activities grid. There was content in boxes that he wanted to see but the dropdown carrot took up most of the space and he couldn't read the student replies.
Getting rid of the carrots would probably help but just in general, some way to better view the contents of a grid format answer would be wonderful.

Make Advance Option tab always visible for Applicant Visibility changes
Ability to view the "Advanced Options" tab at any stages in SLM. Currently only when there are no follow ups assigned can you make changes to the visibility of the request which has been an issue for us.

redirect to main page after password reset
Redirect to login page after password reset.
Can you please have the system automatically redirct to the main login page after a password reset has been completed? This seems like an easy fix and should be automatic but currently users have to then go back in and locate the login page after they just reset their password.
In a perfect world, we could also have the system automatically send folks a password reset when adding new users to an organization vs. having to tell them to go reset themselves or manually having to send them an email reset link.

visibility of forms
We use a two-step evaluation process which involves two different groups of evaluators, one for each step. Once the first group evaluates the LOI we would like to restrict the visibility of that form from the second group of evaluators.
Right now that requires going into each question and table row or column and updating the visibility, a very time-consuming and tedious job, between the two evaluation phases.
It would be great if we could alter the visibility at the form level, overriding field by field visibility settings. That would allow us to basically turn the LOI form off after…

Change Check # to Payment # in Installments
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.
