DocuSign & Merge Templates Single Signature
Currently, you can only add one signature in the Word template in Foundant. It would be helpful if you could have at least two signatures. One for us (our President) and one for the Letter of Agreement recipient to agree to the terms of the grant.

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.

Organization searches - back to results function
I know this question has been raised before, but I can't tell how long ago, so I am resubmitting to indicate continued interest. It would be helpful in Organization Search to have a Back to Search Results function. If I do an organization search with multiple possible matches, I have to redo the search if I happen to pick the wrong one the first time.

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.

Follow-Up Auto Reassign
It appears that when a grant application is reassigned it does not also reassign the follow-up forms. Is this always the case or am I simply having an issue? It would be very helpful to not have to click through and reassign those forms as well.

3rd Party Confused
We had a lot of problems this year with 3rd party individuals being confused by the fact they received an email from the student and an email from us for the same request. Is there some way to streamline things so that the 3rd party recipient would only receive one email? I would prefer our template email to the student's email, as they often don't include all or the correct information. Or maybe possible to add the students email wording to the start of the auto-generated email? It became even more confusing for students who were requesting documents for multiple…

Close Request - Batch
It would be helpful if you could use the batch Close Request function when their are still open follow ups. We terminate students who have submitted their follow for the semester but have to go individually in to the request to close it. Since you can close a request with open follow ups on an individual basis you should be able to do it by batch as well.

Way to organize/group/file Saved Reports
I am relatively new to making reports, but I am finding it challenging to keep track of the reports and find the ones I need efficiently. It would be helpful to be able to group reports by topic, such as Approved Grants, Denied Applications, Fiscal Year, etc. We are thinking of a good naming convention to help with the sorting and finding (all suggestions welcome!).

Date LOI or Application Last Updated
Right now the system only saves the first date an applicant saved an LOI or application draft. You have no idea if someone has abandoned the application or if they are slowly working on it. Is there a way to show when someone last saved an application or LOI? Furthermore, can you create a report that would show this information? Right now, quick export only shows the first date an application or LOI was saved so if you made the first change then maybe the date would be correct in quick export...?

extra bucket for follow ups
It's hard to tell which follows ups we have reviewed and which ones we haven't. It would be nice if the follow ups had a read/unread status- like emails- or if there was an additional bucket on the dashboard (additional status) for follow ups that have been reviewed. Note that we don't send follow ups back to the applicants because we don't want to have to review it twice. Adding the missing document is much easier. This applies to applications as well.

Historical Emails should reference attachments.
I recently went into an organization's email history to look at an award notification, the original of which included an attachment, but the historical copy made no reference to an attachment. It would be helpful if historical emails referenced document(s) that may have been attached.

Sandbox Grant Approval
It would be helpful if the sandbox feature that prevented anyone but the creator of a grant from approving the grant was turned off.
I struggle to understand why would preventing other people from posting my grants help in training?
If the intent is for a user to be able to approve their own grant, CSuite offers a togglable setting that provides for this. Hard coding sandbox to prevent any user other than the creator of the grant from approving the grant is an un-necessary restriction.In reality it, prevents users from testing their internal control environments. It also requires…

Custom Logon Page Message
Hello - I am finding myself a little frustrated this time around when attempting to update my logon page message (for both SLM and GLM portal login pages). Even if I format outside of the page and copy to paste it in as I'd like it to display, it is now pulling everything left and not holding the formatting.
My bigger ask to help solve this is can we have better rich text tools in the editing of the Logon Page Message under settings in both SLM and GLM? I'd like the ability to first and foremost choose the alignment…

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.

Administrator comment
Please change the color of the Administrator Comment box!
When we provide comments for our applicants, they are constantly complaining that the box blends in with the rest of the white and off-white colors and words on the screen. It's true!
Please change the white box to a colored box or allow administrators to choose the color of the box or change the text color for administrator comments. This small change would improve the applicant experience.

integer
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.

Date Question Type Formatting Options
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.

I like the embedded tables for the most part but I really need commas in those integer cells and the sum total cell.

Ability to sort in the Documents folder
I see that someone else had suggested this but the idea was archived. In the documents folder, there is no way to reorder the documents. It puts them in order of the date they are uploaded. It gets a bit confusing when adding documents later into the process and they are out of sequence. The only way to rectify is to delete the documents and reupload them in the order desired. But then if something else is submitted that should be kept such as background information prior to the approval or denial of the request, they're out of sequence again.…

Change Check # to Payment # in Installments
Since COVID, most foundations have moved away from paper checks to ACH payments. It would be helpful to change the name of the field in Installments/Make a Payment from Check Number to Payment Number.
