Spelling/Grammar Check Tool in SLM Scholarship Applications
It would be helpful for SLM to include a spelling/grammar check tool within the scholarship applications for students to use when writing their essays or short answer responses. I know that some internet browsers have a spell check included, but it might be helpful from the student side to have a more comprehensive tool to help with spelling, grammar, etc. as they write their responses.

Automatically generated request ID
We have long project names for our applications and an automatically generated request ID (example 20240041) that includes the year, would be helpful to identify and search for a specific request, without needing to remember the project name or organization name.

Hide (redact) personal info from reviewers.

Be able to still show name, but not personal contact info.27 votes -
Ability to Copy Universe in SLM
We would like to have the feature of copying Universes so we don't have to go back to Sandbox, edit, and then port over to the main site. We made many changes in the live site hoping we could copy for next year, and realized that functionality doesn't exist.

Third Party Entry - Include Applicant Name
It would be helpful to have the applicant's name appear on the third-party response form. Currently, it shows the applicant's name on the dashboard, but when the third party clicks on Start to submit the information it only shows the "process" or "award" name. Having the student's name appear at the top of the form would help responders keep track of the student they are working on.
Some of our third parties complete a LOT of responses and I've heard from many of them that this would be really helpful.

Mass update opportunity names
I need there to be a way to mass update opportunities in a universe. Going in one at a time to 150+ scholarship names to change it from 2023 to 2024 is maddening and not an effective use of time.

Group by student for administrators
Create a "group by student" button similar to the one for evaluators that allows administrators to group by student in the dashboard buckets.

Add Progress Bar for Student's View and Submissions
I'd love for students to be able to see a color coded progress bar on their full submission, similar to the evaluator's progress bar. I have so many students who do not submit the additional applications they are eligible for because they think their application is complete. Since the Universal Processes show up on their page random/alphabetical, they do not see the "Assigned/Edit" and "Submitted/View" which I am trying to explain in emails to both counselors and students.

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

Mark Applicant Opportunities by Question Group SLM
Right now, when you create a new question in the universal application, you have go to each question and change what opportunities this question applies to. This can be very time consuming as there are over 45 opportunities linked to the universal application. It would make sense to be able to mark the applicant opportunities by question group as the default then if you need to make individual changes to some question, it would be much less time consuming. I set up my question groups to directly correlate with the the applicant eligibility and selection criteria for each scholarship.

Change font color for SLM
Once the student hits submit on the UA, is there a way to change the font color of those opportunities that have additional information pending. Currently everything is black or blue, would like to change the "EDIT APPLICATION" to RED to catch the students eye.

Print Universal Application questions by opportunities
It would be helpful to be able to print just the questions associated with one opportunity in the Universal Application. Currently you can preview, but when you print the questions list it prints the entire UA. Donors like to be able to see their application, and aren't interested in and get confused by seeing more than what they need.

Two types of application submission emails for Universal
Within the Universal application, we need two different automatic emails for submission verifications. One for the Universal submission, and one for the opportunity submissions within the Universal. One generic submission verification is confusing to applicants

Bulk Copy Applications
At BACF we have 11 different committees that review applications based on their funding alignment. Our current process is running a universal application. We then create individual processes for each of our committees, and manually copy applications into the processes for the committees that will review it. For example, we may get a funding request from the American Red Cross that has funding alignment across 3 different committees. I would then manually copy that request into each of the three processes for those committees to review.
Where this becomes cumbersome is that I have to go into each application individually…

SLM Universal Application follow ups
For SLM Universal Application follow ups it would be great to be able to reorganize the list, in alpha order for example. Right now it is in the order of when the follow ups were created.

Assign evaluations by student in the Evaluation Assigned bucket
Our evaluations are done by student and if I need to edit evaluations assignments in the Evaluation Assigned bucket, it's very hard to ensure all of a student's opportunities are assigned to the same evaluator when I have to assign by opportunity instead of by student. This is still not possible with the new update if a student has already been assigned to evaluators. This is the message that is received: One or more selected request(s) has an evaluation already assigned. If they are in the assigned bucket then of course they will already have evaluators assigned to them so…

Applicant Copy Functionality for UA
It would be great if students could use the applicant copy functionality from processes to the UA and vise versa. We have both stand alone processes and a universal application (different timelines). We have approx.. 250 students who apply to both. It would be great if they could import answers from one to the other.

Thoughts on Renewable Scholarships
As a scholarship admin, I want a way to communicate with students about the renewal requirements for an opportunity within the system.
- can do with email types, but it requires lots of manual workAs a scholarship admin, I want to remove the human review of follow-up forms to verify renewal eligibility.
I want to set rules for if a follow-up should be marked complete and if they don't does it kick back to draft, email the students, etc.
Examples of eligibility criteria for renewal
- GPA
- School

No warning for required fields missing on UA questions
On any question type, if you miss a required field and click into the Applicant Opportunities tab to select opp specifics and try to save, there is no warning showing you have missed filling in a required space, the page goes nowhere, nothing occurs.
Please add a warning of some sort that a required field is missing.5 votes
