E-Mail Templates with Logos/Signatures
It would be helpful to be able to include a Foundation logo and signature in Foundant e-mail templates. Sending e-mails to grantees through Foundant is certainly easier than having to individually contact each grantee, but Foundant e-mail templates allow no formatting/images which makes our e-mails feel unprofessional and unofficial.

Email Templates - ability to bold/underline/italics
We would really like to have the rich text editor also available for the email templates. We would like to be able to underline/bold/italics/bullet points/etc for emails that are automated from the system.
We will often bypass sending an auto email to instead spend the work doing them individually specifically because we cannot add emphasis in the text. Please consider adding this functionality!

Mobile Interface
It has been suggested by a user that we have a mobile responsive (friendly) interface. Thought I'd pass that along since it makes sense to me. Thanks for the consideration.

Reports - Export to Excel
I have noticed that when you export a report to Excel, all the numbers are stored as text. Although it can be done, it's a pain to have to convert them to numbers if you want to work with them as numbers in Excel. So, I suggest in a future release that all numbers in a Report export to Excel as numbers.

Grantee Failed to Complete Follow-up
Some of our grantees have failed to submit a Follow-Up /Report. Rather than erase them or having them stay perpetually in draft form, can Foundant add an option to mark as "Failed to Complete." Perhaps we could also add a "Waived" option. Many thanks!

Notification for Payment Installment
I would like to have the ability to program a notification so I'm alerted when an installment payment is due. I see this working the same way as follow-up reminders work for grantees, but it would be an internal notification set up to remind an administrator that a payment is coming due on an installment grant.
Thanks for your consideration.

extra bucket for follow ups
It's hard to tell which follows ups we have reviewed and which ones we haven't. It would be nice if the follow ups had a read/unread status- like emails- or if there was an additional bucket on the dashboard (additional status) for follow ups that have been reviewed. Note that we don't send follow ups back to the applicants because we don't want to have to review it twice. Adding the missing document is much easier. This applies to applications as well.

All grantee users should be able to see follow up assignments and question list for follow up in organization history
I love that we can allow all users to see the organization's request history - we just put this into place. However, they can't see who the follow ups are assigned to, and can't see the question list for the follow up - will that eventually be added? (I'm sure it's complex technologically.) It would be so helpful if they could see, "oh, Emily the CFO is currently set up to submit the follow up, and I can contact the funder to get it assigned to me now that Emily has left the organization." or even "oh, Emily has access…

rename LOI
It would be nice to rename LOI since they aren't really letters, but an application. We want to go to a 2 step application process, the first is an application, and the second is all the attachments.

Evaluating Follow-up submissions
The ability to have an optional Evaluation stage to Follow-up forms would be helpful for some clients. The genesis for this idea came from an earlier discussion area post. Please use this post for any further comments.
Let the conversation begin! Thank you,

Here is the original post:
I am a new Foundant user. Prior to using the Foundant system, when a grantee mailed us a grant report, our two staff members would review it (especially the employee who was "in charge" of a particular grant), then we would copy it and enclose it in the (snail-mailed) docket for…

Historical Emails should reference attachments.
I recently went into an organization's email history to look at an award notification, the original of which included an attachment, but the historical copy made no reference to an attachment. It would be helpful if historical emails referenced document(s) that may have been attached.

Show "date last modified" in workflow list for draft LOIs, applications, and followups
It would be helpful to show the date last modified on the workflow page that lists applications, LOIs, or followups that are in draft form. (Much as the date submitted is shown for submitted applications, LOIs, and followups.) This way I could tell at a glance whether applicants are progressing on their drafts. https://d2r1vs3d9006ap.cloudfront.net/s3_images/975796/Image1.jpg?1382554177

LOI decline vs application decline
We would love to be able to see whether a past grant was declined at the LOI stage or the application stage on the organization summary page. Currently, the application status simply says "denied" if a grant was declined, but for us it is important to know at which stage a past grant was declined. As it is now, we have to go through multiple steps, looking at what we have from the applicant and determining if it is a full application. Simply stating that information on the organization summary page would make this an even better "at a glance"…

Exporting Comments
Would it be possible to build in the functionality to to export Organization Comments? (Ideally, I'd find it really helpful if both the Comments & the Organization description could be included in the pdf produced by "Print Organization Packet", but failing that any kind of export functionality for comments would be great!)
The same question also applies for project comments (we just happen to use the organization ones more).

Would anyone else like to see Declined grants in the Dashboard?
I love the quick Dashboard view to see what has been submitted, granted, etc. but would also like the same info at a glance for the number grants which have been declined. There doesn't seem to a be a "one click" way to view this info.

foundation assigned grant numbers
We use a grant number that we assign after an application is submitted. The number reflects the year and order received within the year. We have historically used this number to a great extent and have created a field for it in GMS. The place we really miss it is on all of the Open Requests screens where the headings are proscribed and include Process, Organization, Applicant, Project. Does anyone else long for the opportunity to have Number reflected there? Has anyone found a good way to work around that? If we want to get the number to show up…

batch delete abandoned applications
I would like to have the option to batch delete abandoned
requests -- it’s tedious having to delete them one by one. Could this be an
option listed at the bottom of the “Search Requests & Decisions” page? I
can understand not wanting folks to accidentally delete other items on this
page. With this in mind, could it be built to only appear as an option when a
search is done for abandoned requests?

Saving all documents in one packet
I would really love a way to export all documents, applications, evaluations etc. for an org (for each particular process) all at once rather than downloading and saving each item individually.
For example, Grantee A: LOI, LOI Eval, App, App Eval and any other docs or processed they completed for a particular grant.
This would be incredibly helpful for filing purposes to have everything in one place/merged into one document.
Currently, we have to go to each separate proccess to create packets and save...very time consumming!

Doing Business As or AKA searches
Many times a non-profit changes its organization's name or does business under another name other than their legal name. It would be very helpful if the GLM system had a field called "DBA or AKA" in which you could enter other names by which the organization is known. In GLM, our foundation lists an organization according to their legal name and we try to stick to that for consistency for entering organizations names in their GLM record. The legal name may be longer or cumbersome and the organization ends up going by a shorter name or acronym which people know…

Is there a place to enter the check payment address? If not how have others worked around it.
