How many applications an evaluator has left to score
I've heard from several of our evaluators that they would like to be able to see the actual number of applications that they have left to score. For instance, under Pending it might say they have 50 left but if students qualify for multiple opportunities, they might only physically look at 15 (because the scores are automatically applied to the other opportunities of that student). They find it frustrating not knowing how much time they will need to carve out of their schedule for scoring.

Allow Copy Previous Requests from Organization (Instead of User)
It would be really useful if the Copy Previous Answers function worked for all requests under an Organizational profile instead of just the specific User profile. This would be helpful for some of our organizations who experience high turnover or for folks who are applying when other colleagues are on leave.

Ability to mark Ineligible Universe Requests in Eligibility Center as "reviewed/resolved."
The Ineligible Universe Request tab is helpful, but it would be improved if there could be a way to mark each one as reviewed/resolved. I periodically check this tab, but am having difficulty tracking which ones are new and yet to be reviewed.

Shared Documents for Applicants
We would to have a 'Shared Documents' folder specifically for our applicants/grantees to be able to access.
I.e. This way the Agreement to Grant Terms is available for them to access at any time through their profile.

Evaluation Option for Follow Up Forms
It would be very helpful to have the evaluation option available in the follow-up phase like the LOI and application phases. We use follow-up forms for reporting and having the option to add an evaluation to a follow-up form would be a great way for our team to save grantee report review notes within Foundant. (We currently save notes in Word and upload to the documents section, but having a built in feature to evaluate reports would be much better.)

Third-Party batch email options
We frequently follow-up with third-party respondents in applications. It's time-consuming to click into each application, process, email history to make those connections. We'd like "email third-party respondents" as one of the bulk option for selected applications.

Copy Collaborators in Email Communications
I'm hoping there is a way our foundation can copy collaborators in email communications and send them auto-generated emails for a request within GLM. Just as there is the option to CC/Copy a primary contact, It would be GREAT to have that same checkbox for CC/Copy collaborators. So many of our organizations use grant writers who are not affiliated with their organization to submit proposals and we need our communications to go to them!

Unnecessary Spacing On Forms
There appears to be unnecessary spacing added below the instruction field when building an application or other form. I suggest removing this formatting so instructions appear more naturally grouped with the relevant questions. If the additional spacing is necessary, I suppose we could add that in by adding a blank question field.

Batch Evaluator Packets
It would be helpful if you could create evaluator print packets after you have assigned your evaluators. Right now you can only batch create them BEFORE you've assigned them which isn't helpful. I want to be able to create application packets for evaluators if I need to (eg they are late or having trouble doing it themselves). It would also be helpful to be able to create packets of the top applications which you wouldn't know until after evaluations are done. You also can't create batch evaluation reports.

Folders for Communications Templates
It would be great if we could put email templates in folders by grant opportunity. We have so many on our CF and have to scroll down to find each one because they are so different. Please make folders to make it easier to find the templates we need.

Table Question - Ability to Edit Read-Only Cells
When building a table question, It would be GREAT to be able to edit read-only cells. I confirmed with Support that at present, read-only cells do not allow you to edit their content other than their label, yet applicants cannot see cell labels. This means that any read-only cell that is not in a summary row will always show up to applicants as a blank cell.
This is confusing because it makes it seem like you have the option to do something you don't, e.g. put readable content in read-only cells. I would love to be able to do something…

SLM Committees
When you click Search committees it would be nice if the list of committees was alphabetized by name.

copy process to same form rather than first form of the process
It would be great to have the ability to select when copying a request into a new process, in which stage we want it to be - LOI vs Application. We are using LOI Forms in all our processes, though sometimes the LOI gets approved under a process (Inquiry) and the actual application to be completed by our grantee is under a different process. We use the inquiry process to collect basic information to see if we would fund them and identify the type of application they need to complete.
We're having to re-approve the LOI and complete the LOI…

Closing out incomplete final reports
We have a few grantees who missed completing final grant reports from some years back.
It would be great to have the option to close a request that would still show the final grant report as a draft or incomplete somehow in the organization's request history. It could be coded as "incomplete" or something similar. In order to clean up the dashboard, right now the options are to 1. unassign the follow up, 2. submit the follow up on their behalf, or 3. have it show up in the follow up draft bucket indefinitely (ie not clean up the dashboard).…

Add Process Name Column to Follow Ups Bucket
It would be helpful to be able to sort by process when reviewing all follow-ups.

Track usage/traffic
It would be nice to be able to see how much traffic our Foundant site gets from applicants. For example, does traffic go up after we run social media posts? We can currently run a report to show applications in any status, but that doesn't capture everything, like people who log in to work on an application that remains in draft status.

Universal app confirmation page
I find the language on the Universe confirmation page confusing. It says the applicant is eligible for the following opportunities, it's not 100% clear that the applicant must continue to apply. I'd suggest moving the blue "Continue" button to the top, or changing the message to read: "Based on your answers, you may apply for the scholarships listed below. Click the blue Continue button at the bottom of the page to complete the applications."

merge fields from request
It would be great if all fields were available for email merges. Specifically, we schedule in person meetings as part of our review process, and those times are loaded into the application and evaluation so that I can display them for evaluators. I'd love to pull that field into the applicant emails. This is currently the only process email that I have to send outside of Foundant.

Change application language to eligibility for first stage of UA
When using a UA, those first common questions are really for eligibility, at least the way we are using it. So when the potential applicants get to the confirmation page, for either the failure message or to see what scholarships they are eligible for, it says your application has been submitted, but really, it hasn't. They are, at that point, ready to enter the application and its questions. Can there be some terminology changes set for the first stage? I make it clear in my instructions what's to happen, but an applicant as you define it shouldn't really be one…

Ability to track 'clicks' to know when/where an applicants abandons the application process
We would like to be able to track applicant clicks through the system so we can see if changes made impact user abandon rates in certain parts of their online journey with us. For example, when/where in the process do they give up? This would allow us to identify where we might need better instructions or a change in the questions or flow.
