Option to give collaborators access to admin comments
Please give an option to allow Collaborators to have the ability to see the Administrator comments. This causes many problems within our application process. Maybe include the option for admin to click a box that either allows visibility to ONLY the primary applicant OR the primary applicant AND collaborators. Same with uploaded documents.

roberth@butlerfamilyfoundation.org
Right now, when our grantees apply for renewing grants, they see a pop-up box that tells them have already applied. Eventually there is another button to "apply again" but overall it's a very confusing process and we are spending a lot of time walking applicant through it. Is there a way to streamline this or make it easier? Feels like the older system worked better.

Issues with 3rd party request changed to "upload myself" option
We have two options for a student to submit a letter of recommendation. They can ask a teacher to do this (via the 3rd party request in the system) or they can elect to upload the letter themselves.
If an applicant starts with the 3rd party request option, but then later changes it to "upload myself" because the original recommender did not follow through, the SLM system still thinks there is a missing 3rd party request.
The student's application stays in the "Action needed" column, even though the letter is uploaded AND it shows as 0/1 in the 3rd Party…

Make Apply More Prominent
There are several ideas around the apply page, but I didn't see this one addressed specifically.
Please make the "Apply" at the top of the page more prominent. With the new applicant dashboard, everyone's eyes seem to be drawn only to the columns and cannot locate the apply button. Make it larger, a different color, or something to make it stand out.

Journal Entries
Eliminate separate journal entries from being produced when there are multiple funds attached to a single journal entry. The creation of multiple journal entries makes it more difficult to review.

Make Registration Fields Admin-Editable
Please allow admins the option to edit user fields. While Foundant Support is generally very responsive to requests, it seems unnecessary to have to bother the team every time we would like a change made to our registration page. thank you!

Applicants to See Third Party Request Complete When Admin Uploads Letter
When third parties are assigned letters of recommendations for scholarship applications, sometimes they are not able to upload the letter themselves. Instead, a member of the scholarship administration team will upload the letter (which was emailed to us) on their behalf. Even when we upload the letter for them, it is still marked as incomplete from the applicants view of the application. It would be helpful if it was marked as complete if the letter was uploaded, whether or not it was uploaded by a third party.
[Repost of an archived idea, hoping to get traction!]

Filter option when looking at organization history.
It would be very helpful to have a filter function when applicants (in our case, organization primary contacts) are viewing their organization history. Right now, they have to sort / scroll past all abandoned applications, cannot filter by date, etc.

2-Factor Authentication by Phone or Email
We want to require our GLM users to enable 2-factor authentication, but are concerned about asking them to download an app to do so. Most of them probably aren't using an authenticator app anywhere else. We would like to offer them the option to have a code sent to their phone or email to authenticate so they are not required to download an authenticator app.

Applicant vs Evaluator Role error
Trying for this idea again.
We have many users that act as both applicants and evaluators, at different times. We frequently have users contact us because they’re not able to submit forms related to their requests as applicants. Even though they’ve been told they need to be under the applicant role, they log in, see their applicant forms right there on the evaluator dashboard, fill them out, and then can’t submit. Unhelpfully, the error message they get is that there is a prior form that they haven’t submitted, which isn’t the case.
Possible solutions:

show character count to applicant on text boxes
Reposting from
Unfortunately, the text boxes do not show a character count while the applicant is filling them in so they are forced to guess and test their content over and over. This becomes frustrating and causes headaches.
Consistency is key to ease.

Organization Contact - Delete PDF
This could already be an option, but often grantees and applicants have to request that documents be deleted since they do not have the option to do so themselves.

Default answer and auto populate on applications
I would like to be able to set a default answer to questions on the application. Like for drop down or radial buttons, I want to choose a default and then have the option to change it if needed. It would also be useful for information to auto populate from one question to another. For example, the project title would autofill to another question that is a summary of the request.

Change "Date" to "Decision Date" in Organization History
This is just a minor UI/UX suggestion. I recently had a grantee miss a deadline because they thought the dates shown on past requests in the Organization History indicated the date the requests were submitted, not the date they were approved. Granted, there are plenty of other ways to check deadlines, but I imagine if it's happened once, it's probably happened other times as well. All this would take is changing the Date column to read Decision Date.

Comments
I accidentally deleted a comment since I was not use to the new dashboard look and See More is sort of hidden in the preview of the comments. Foundant couldn't do anything to help. Would be great if there was a recently deleted or bold the See More.

Prevent Duplicate Applications in GLM
Please consider only allowing one application per process by each organization. I saw duplicate application from single applicant most of the time. I would be greatly appreciate if it is fixed soon.

Primary Contact Descriptor
Could there be a small pop-up when your cursor goes over this field that explains how the primary contact works?
Our applicants often think "primary contact" indicates who will receive communications about their application. They frequently email saying they kept trying to change the primary contact and were unsuccessful.
We would like applicants to know that
1) the primary contact is the executive director/officer
2) site administrators control who is the primary contact
3) all communications are sent to the user that submitted an applicationThanks for your suggestions on how best to make this information clear to applicants!
