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.

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?

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.

Randomly Assign Evaluators
In our process each applicant receives at least three reviews from three different evaluators. It would be nice if I could randomly assign evaluators to the applicants. I currently do this by creating an excel file with the applicants on the vertical axis and the evaluators on the horizontal. I assign each applicant a number and use a random number generator to assign the applications each reviewer is expected to review. To be able to do this quickly within the GLM system would be great. I know some of the competitors provide this option.

Anonymous Review Features
We would like the ability to choose which Contact Fields are visible to the evaluator, with an option to show a Unique Applicant ID (that is not the current system generated one). Having all fields [HIDDEN] and not providing a way to identify each application eliminates the reviewers ability to determine which applications they want to recommend to move forward in the process, as our Foundation does not abide by highest score practices.
We have to implement anonymous review practices based on applicant/evaluator conflict of interest (i.e. Foundation Staff Reviewing applications from Foundation Staff). In order to ensure this is…

Scoring Questions - Optional or Weighted
I was wondering if anyone would find value in the ability to weight evaluation questions. We are exploring the idea of funding general operating requests and project-based requests, all from one process. If we were able to weight questions or make some scoring questions optional, this would prevent and help us with our evaluation of LOIs and Applications.

Evaluator score columns needed
We need side-by-side columns for our evaluators so that they can see how their individual application score compares to the group of evaluators' average score. Only the person in the admin role can see the average group score. And, if the admin is also an evaluator, things get messy quickly in a meeting. An admin/evaluator can never see both their individual score column and the average score column without flipping between roles. Having the ability to see individual scores and average scores on ONE PAGE in side-by-side columns will greatly help with our evaluation meetings and enable us to make…

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.

Evaluators able to view follow-ups
Would like to be able to have evaluators review/access last year's follow-up reports for a process. Right now we download them all and put them in a drobox for review.

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.

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!

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.

Is there a way to allow evaluators to submit a committee decision?
I asked Barksley: Is there a way to allow evaluators to submit a committee decision? He said: Evaluators can be assigned to requests and add decision comments when approving or denying a request, but there isn’t a built-in feature for evaluators to submit a single committee decision as a group. Each evaluator enters their input individually during the decision process. I have to create a separate google form to capture the committee's decision as a collective.

Closed Evaluation Custom Columns for Evaluators
Currently we can add two custom columns to the Your Evaluations tab for our evaluators, but when the evaluations are closed and we allow our evaluators to see all the closed evaluations prior to our Board meeting, there is no way to add custom columns on that page. We do not review the grant applications by alpa order of the organization or project name. We assign grant numbers and will review the grants in that order. When we get to our meeting, I have to export and create a spreadsheet for our evaluator trustees to use to follow along with…

It would be great if you could see the request history tab when evaluating an LOI, instead of having to navigate to the organization.

evaluator
Maybe this exists already....it would be so helpful to be able to filter evaluators by process - we have a committee for each grant and clicking through each time while referring to the original committee list is cumbersome. If I could filter evaluators to only show the ones who would score a particular grant program, I could get through assignments much quicker.

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.

Due Diligence Financials & Compliance Tab: IRS Ruling Date
Is it possible to display the ruling date from the IRS Business Master File into the Financials & Compliance tab in the request summary? This information was easily accessed through charity check, but now it looks like we may have go to the organization summary page to access it. This will slow us down considerably when vetting applications for eligibility.
