  1. Sometimes I need to create a set of the same question multiple times within the same process/application. For instance, I might need an option to add an address for a second parent/guardian and I don't want to have to create all the address fields again. I'd rather just duplicate the previous group and edit the heading.

    A similar solution might be to create a question bank of all fields that have been created within the instance and then be able to select any I'd like to add.

  2. It would be great if we could have 'other' as an option for a radio question that gives you (the builder) the choice to automatically produce a text box for applicants to input data around their selection. Currently you have to build 'other' into the question and then build a branched question group, which can not only get messy, but can make the application flow feel very disjointed, depending on the build.

  3. Every other form builder application allows you to add an "Other: _____" text box at the end of Checkbox questions. It's a simple way to catch exceptions that you're not thinking of.

  4. We have a budget form with a table for Revenue and a table for Expenses. It would be great to be able to calculate the net (revenue minus expenses) without the applicant having to do math or cut-paste totals from the separate tables into a third table or field.

  5. Please allow for the ability to upload multiple files to a single upload question.

    Currently, it is only possible to upload one file per question. It would be very helpful and much more effective if the File Upload question type allowed for multiple files to be uploaded to a single upload question, as opposed to needing one file upload question for each upload.

    Alternatively, the option to upload a folder to a file upload question would be another possible remedy.

  6. We really like the clone feature available when editing a table, and it would be helpful if this were available for all questions. Having to manually copy over the drop-down items and additional information is very time consuming.

  7. Currently the columns in tables are all the same width, but there are use cases where it would make sense for one column to be wider than another.

    For example, in our budget we have 5 columns - Expense, Request, Cash Match, In-Kind Match, and Calculation/Description. By my calculation if you have 5 columns only 33 characters are visible at one time. However, in our use case, 3 of the fields would not contain more than 7 characters (plus the characters for the column headings). Being able to resize those columns would free more real estate for fields where users…

  8. It would be great if the admin could set both a minimum and maximum character count for such questions as "Integer." For example, if we require a 7-digit number, we can set the maximum to 7 characters, but we don't have a way to set the minimum character count to 7 as well, which can contribute to mistakes with ID submission.

  9. Currently, the only way to provide a form to be completed is through links. I'd like to attach an excel spreadsheet that needs to be completed and uploaded by applicants. We have run into issues where links to forms break and it would be much simpler to provide the attachment within the application question.

  10. Have the option to enter the # of rows you want when cloning. Instead of having to clone 10 times, i can click "clone row" 1 time and enter a number and badaboom badabing i have that many copies of the row. Magic!!!

  11. I use branching logic all the time. Creating groups is not logical. Creating branching logic on the question would be nice without creating a group.

  12. The request history table in the print packet is so helpful. Board members and evaluators really like to have a quick snapshot of this information.

    It would be great if we could
    1) pull this table into application or evaluation form as an internal field or
    2) create a field with the option to make request history pop out as an external window
    or any solution that offers a simple way to have eyes on request history to those folks who spend little time in the database and don't feel comfortable with extra clicks

    Thank you!

  13. Can Foundant add numeric grant numbers that auto-counts grants in a process?

    For example, we support research projects and grantees need to acknowledge it in the research paper with something to the effect of "We acknowledge financial support from "Foundation Name" under grant # ("Foundation Acronym"-***) at the end of the paper. The grant number allows for tracking where we would enter in the grant number in something like Google Scholar and see how many papers have been published through it.

    Right now, there are no unique identifiers for Grants to track externally.

  14. While I understand why you cannot delete question fields once an applicant or staff member has submitted a response on it, sometimes that question needs to be deleted moving forward and based on how we have set things up it is preferred to not create/copy a new process when we want to make deletions. It would be nice to be able to "toggle"/hide a question from the applicant/grant manager on forms when we no longer want them to be answered/used.

  15. Need the system to generate a score for the application based on how questions on the application are answered. For example: a GPA between 3.8-4.0 would receive 10 pts, 3.6-3.79 would receive 8 pts, etc. This could be a % score.

  16. I would love to see every question have the option (or not) to be in print packets. We have a few explanatory sections that no one (applicant, staff, evaluators) needs to see when reviewing.

  17. Request: Ability to apply regular expressions (REGEX) to a field in a table-style question.

    Use Case: Applicants are asked to assign percentages (%) to demographic questions about the population served. The total at the bottom must add up to 100%.

    Example:

    * 20% -- A
    * 20% -- B
    * 20% -- C
    * 20% -- D
    * 20 % -- E
    * 20% -- F
    TOTAL: 120% <-- would be rejected because it is not 100%

  18. We would love the ability to limit the number of check marks applicants are able to select on certain checkbox questions. We ask folks to limit the number their choices, but often times they over select.

  19. Change the symbol of the Integer question type away from a # to something else.

    In our application we ask for percent of people served in our county. We built that question with the integer question type because that was the only question type where we could restrict the entry to two numerical digits.

    But our applicants and reviewers are confused because we are asking for a percentage but the little symbol next to it is the number sign, so it almost looks like we are asking for the raw number of people, not the percent of people.

  20. I do see this was brought up in years past, but was hoping to renew interest in the topic. It would be great when using the Date question type to be able to select the format in which you would like that date provided. It would be great to be able to ask for a month and year, for example, especially when asking for degree conferral dates, where a specific day is often not known.
