  1. Board Member Access to Follow Up Reports

    The process to access Follow Up reports for our board members is certainly cumbersome, and discourages board members from using the online data (read this as I have to produce paper copies of each follow-up). A folder on their Dashboard would be helpful; and at a minimum, it would be useful to have a "Return to Follow Ups Submitted" option, so that they don't have to go all the way back to Requests and Decisions to pull up each report.

  2. Allow for weighting of different evaluation questions

    At this point, we are having to use an external, web-based tool called Jotform to do our quantitative evaluation of proposals because of that programs ability to weight different criteria more heavily than others. This is creating a good amount of double work as we then need to move scores and program officer summary content from Jotform back into Foundant to maintain historical memory. We'd love to see the day when we can shed Jotform altogether. Any chances of that?

  3. Application Evaluation Bucket on Dashboard

    I would be helpful to see "Complete" Status on the Application Evaluation dashboard. How does an Administrator know that an evaluator has completed their review except to have to click in the Application Evaluation "Assigned" - which defeats the purpose of a dashboard? Thank you

  4. Final Evaluations Review for Program Officers

    Any possible way you guys can add another "bucket box" under "My Evaluations" for forms that have been completed and ready to be reviewed by the Program Officer?

  5. Table-Style Question: Formatted for Reviewers/Evaluators

    It would be really beneficial for reviewers to be able to see all information that applicants enter/type in the table cells when using the side-by-side evaluation display. Currently, the number of characters that display per row is very limited.

  6. GLM Evaluator portal Process filter and sort order

    When an evaluator uses the Process filter on the dashboard, completes and saves an evaluation form, then clicks the Next Pending Evaluation button, the next one may not be from that filtered Process. Please make it so the Process filter pulls through to when the evaluation forms are advance to the next request.

    Also, it would be much better for evaluators if the sort by organization on the dashboard would pull through to when they go into evaluation forms so Next Pending Evaluation button takes them to the next request that is alphabetical by organization name.

  7. Allow Administrator Comments to be seen by evaluators

    When entering in a comment in the Administrator Comment field, I can check a box that allows the comment to be seen by the applicant. I would LOVE a checkbox that allows the comment to be seen by the evaluators as well (particularly staff evaluators). Thanks for your consideration!

  8. Allow iPhone photos (.heic photos) to be viewable in Document Viewer

    If an applicant uploads an iPhone photo (.heic photo) then you will not be able to view it within the system. You will need to download it to your computer first. Would like to be able to view .heic photos within the system.

  9. Evaluators Viewing Average Score Page

    It would benefit if evaluators can view the average score page, like an administrator has access to. Currently each evaluator has to drill into each application to view the average score. And if you have 20-50 applications to review, it is frustrating and time consuming to come up with the average score for each application. Viewing the application Evaluation page listing all applications and their average scoring would be helpful.

  10. In-line evaluation!

    I would really love to see a more efficient way to do in-line evaluation - such that the reviewer can read the entire application (including uploaded documents) and score at the same time. There is currently a way to insert "shared questions" into the evaluation form... but it is incomplete and does not include uploaded documents. Pretty please??? Thank you!!

  11. Option to turn off ability to create a print packet and download attachments for evaluators

    Want the ability to remove the "Create Print Packet" button from the evaluator's screen and remove the ability to download documents that have been uploaded into an application. Concerned that evaluators can download sensitive information such as transcripts, FAFSA, etc.

  12. It would be helpful to have a grading mechanism at the organizational level; i.e.: consider strongly, consider, don't consider.

  13. ChatGPT

    A donor questioned how AI might impact scholarship and grant applications, something I hadn't considered. I wonder if there's been any discussion about building in some check to ensure AI hasn't written answers.

  14. copy request

    I would like to see an option to rename a request in the process of copying it. Kind of like a 'save as' process, if I were able to add in a word or two to the end of the Project Name in the process of copying it, that would be very handy.

  15. I would like to be able to highlight text in a submitted grant for the other reviewers to key in on or to connect back to my comments.

    Let reviewers highlight text in the application to refer back to comments and / or to call attention to particular passages.

  16. evaluator dashboard filter

    I would love an easy way for evaluators to differentiate or even hide their evaluation 1 or evaluation 2 responses. I have a board committee that does an initial review (evaluation 1) before sending recommendations to the full board for review (evaluation 2). The committee members struggle to keep track of what they've done when they're working on the evaluation 2 round. It would be great if they could click a button to filter out the eval 1 responses! (giving them the ability is important because that group refers back to their original responses.

  17. scoring committees

    we have 7 scoring teams that annually score grants, it is cumbersome to reset the scoring team for each process... would it be possible to create a mechanism to set scoring teams and have those people grouped together in some fashion.

  18. Evaluation Summary - for staff evaluator role

    (Suggested by fellow grants staff Trudy Wild)

    Currently there is an attractive summary of all panelist scores and comments (Dashboard / Application Evaluation Open / Summary) - but only staff can access this (Our evaluations are anonymous and un-shared). This is available per application, with questions down the left hand side and staff evaluator names across the top.

    We'd like for a single staff evaluator to be able to view his own summary. This should encompass all applications in one view - with questions down the left hand side and applicant organization names across the top.

  19. Application Comments for Evaluators

    Hi Chris,

    We're enjoying the comment field enhancement within the application - great update! In fact, we're enjoying it so much, we're wondering if there's any talk of having this enhancement extended to the evaluators as well? We'd love it if our evaluators could make comments within the application while they're doing their review work. This would serve as a useful tool when we're on our committee conference calls and during site visits.

    Thanks for your consideration.

  20. Landscape Orientation for PDFs of Evaluation Forms

    In our evaluation forms, we stick rubric tables inside the instruction sections of each question. It displays perfectly online, but when the evaluation forms are converted to PDF, the rubrics spill beyond the page.

    Could you please add an option to generate PDFs in landscape orientation? Or tweak your PDF builder to scale / wrap instructions to fit inside the page?

    Thanks.
