  1. When assigning follow up forms, add a warning that comes up if the person assigned is a collaborator, as they will not be able to edit the form. As it stands, the organization gets the assignment and can see the form but does not know why they cannot edit.

  2. 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.

  3. Show Decision Status: current setting applies to entire site (available under site settings). Moving this setting to the Process Manager and allowing it to be set individually on each process would open up more flexibility to accommodate different foundation's workflows.

    Example: two grant programs are open at the same time. one is a rolling basis application process with fast turn around. the other is a quarterly LOI process involving board meetings. the ideal use of "show decision status" for these two programs would be vastly differently; yet the software is forcing one setting for all.

  4. In SLM, you cannot batch assign follow ups for different opportunities within the same General Application. It is very time consuming to assign the same set of scholarship follow ups to each different opportunity individually. This idea needs to be taken a step further to allow different opportunities within a GA to be batch assigned at once. Thanks!

  5. When can see when a user last logged in but it would be great to be able see their entire log in history. We often get applicants that say “I started the application a month ago”, but we can’t actually see if they logged in a month ago, we can only see they last logged in today!

  6. One of our evaluators brought to my attention that when she is completing evaluations – that the response to questions set up as text boxes are being cut off and it does not give her the ability to scroll. This seems to create a less than optimal experience for her and others. I realize to avoid this – I could create all questions as Text Area questions, but would prefer not to have to do this.

  7. I would like to request that Foundant implement a change log for the eligibility criteria for the opportunities within a Universe. There is currently no way for us as users or you as the host to track changes made. If there is a mistake or issue, we need to be able to know what was done, when, and by whom.

  8. Please allow for the option to edit the invitation email that is sent to the collaborators.

    Unlike many of the system emails, the collaborator email is not editable as the template is simply not available to edit. We are asking that you give us the option to edit this template to make it more personalized and seem less "phishy". It is currently unbranded, very simple, and makes some worried that it is an illegitimate email.

  9. I would like an established set of questions (or ability to establish a system set for our org) within the SLM to choose from when building applications so that they can more easily become shared questions (meaning that information can prepopulate in other forms once established on a foundational form like a scholarship application). Particularly, a student's institution name and student ID is needed for us on multiple forms - I need a cleaner way for that to populate across the board (especially when coming into a position and working through different word choices on questions from one year to…

  11. Add a Search Bar on request history page, within an organization summary.

    It would really help if we could search requests by process in the organization 's grant history. We can alphabetize them today, but using a search would help us.

  12. We would love if in the comment section you can add a date, not just have it default to the date it was added. We might go in once a week and add all the emails and comments, but it will only put in the date we enter it. AND if we edit it, it gives a new date, not the one it was created on.

    Wouldn't hurt if we could attach a document to a comment :)

  14. Please put a delay on the first year follow ups and other required documentation, otherwise, the grantee receives a follow up before a paper letter with terms or a check has arrived. This causes a lot of confusion for the grantee who assumes that both of those have arrived and panic in locating them. It also generates a lot of phone calls and emails regarding these. A month delay would help considerably.

  15. Resurrecting a request from another user that was archived.

    We would like our applicants to be able to upload relevant documentation to their accounts and also processes, such as invoices, voided checks, to ensure that their successors have all information on any awards that they may need in the future.

    Original request submission:
    We keep insurance certificates and audits on file for our applicants (who submit multiple applications per year). We don't want them to have to upload these key documents over and over again to every single application or followup that they submit.
    I would like there to be…

  16. Would it be possible to add a drop down for students wheen filling out personal information. ie Mr., Ms. and that when a student types street or St. it would auto change to Street? this would save us so much time in making corrections.

  17. We use branching questions in our grant application that are set to internal so we can branch an applicant to the application we want them to complete and not have multiple processes in our site. I just realized that when an applicant clicks on the "Question List" button in their site, this shows them ALL of the questions in our application, regardless of how the application should be branched. The fact that applicants can see the entire question list for an application seems to negate the purpose of branching. This is very confusing for applicants because they do not know…

    Hello,

    You are correct in that all branch groups are displayed in the question list; we follow this as best practice for projects like project streamlining so that applicants don't become surprised by the amount of time the application will take them. We also encourage as a best practice that you add instructions to the branch groups for that visibility and communication explain when they will see that group.

    However, Internal Questions should not be displayed to applicants. Please report this to our support team so that we can review it.

  18. Here is a common scenario. An org is fiscally sponsored by a church and then gets their own 501c3 status and changes their name. In foundant, we would update the org name to say (formerly XYZ Church). When evaluators see the church name - they often ask whether services are limited to members of that church even when the org has nothing to do with the church (e.g., a food bank). To remove any confusion for evaluators - I tried adding the church name to the Sort Name, but when I tried to do a search for the church -…

  19. It would be great to have quick access to recently searched or recently modified/accessed requests or organizations. I find myself in and out of a lot of requests in one day and it would be nice to have quicker access to recent ones without having to re-search each time. I saw someone posted this previously with 9 votes but it was archived. Thanks.

  20. When evaluators are assigned applications as a batch action, it would be really helpful if an automatic email could go out to each evaluator letting them know they have been assigned applications for a particular process (one email per process, not per application). Currently, the only way evaluators can receive an automatic email is if each application is assigned one by one. That's time-consuming for the person assigning the evaluators, and that would generate a lot of individual emails to each evaluator. Having automatic emails go out to evaluators after batch assignments are made would eliminate the current two-step process…
