  1. It would be helpful when adding a comment in the Application or Follow-up forms that the comment stands out. For example, allow us to make the comment bubble red or yellow, or change the font color/size or make it bold. Anything to make it stand out from the rest of the Application or Follow-Up form would be extremely useful. I recently had to mark a follow-up form as incomplete, and I added comments to the questions that I needed clarification on and even after sending multiple emails (through Foundant) to the applicant to please see the comments to help her…

  2. We use tables to collect budget information, one table for revenue and one table for expenses. We'd love to be able to calculate the net revenue taking the total from revenue less total expenses.

  3. Red flagging organizations or individuals if they have not completed a follow up report. Saw an idea about stopping an application if the organization has not completed a follow up. This idea would be along the same lines however if would be a more prominent visual alert in foundations work flows

  4. 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…

  5. For the new applicant apply page, for the preview application button, is there a way to have it show as the application and not the PDF? We have several applications that use branching logic and the full load out in the PDF may confuse applicants.

  6. When you click into Organizations, you can perform a basic "duplicate search" and easily merge duplicates. I would love to see this same option for contacts.

  8. Right now, tables have a limit of 5 columns. It would be nice to increase this limit. I use a spreadsheet for budget submission and finance reports (follow-ups). I would like the applicant to directly input their itemized budget in their application, share that budget in the follow-ups, and add columns for them to report actual line-item expenses. Right now, my itemized budget worksheet has 8 columns and my financial report has 13 columns. Also, once they have submitted their budget, I would like to lock those columns in that they've inputted data and only give them access to report…

  9. I need a denial email to be sent to the applicant when I hit deny on the application. When the application is approved, an email is sent. But I have to go in and send a separate email after I have denied the request. I don't want to deny a request but forget to notify them!

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

  11. We would love to be able to add dates to comments, not just have it be the date we are adding the comment. That way we might be able to sort comments.
    Not to mention copy and pasting emails with information in it.

  12. We often have dozens — if not hundreds — of LOIs, approvals, applications, and follow-ups on our dashboard at once. It would be wonderful to have a visual indicator any time a new LOI, application, or follow-up is submitted. For example, let's say I log in at 9am and my dashboard indicates 133 follow-ups in the "Submitted" bucket. I come back to my desk at 10am, refresh the dashboard, and there are now 135 follows-ups in the submitted bucket. "135" now glows with a different color and a "+2" alert. Once I click into my Submitted follow-ups, that alert resets…

  13. To enhance GLM and SLM, consider integrating more advanced ERP system functionalities into the platforms. By incorporating features like real-time data analytics, automated reporting, and seamless integration with other ERP modules, you can significantly improve efficiency and accuracy. For instance, implementing automated data syncing between GLM/SLM and ERP financial systems could reduce manual data entry errors and provide more accurate insights into grant and contract management. Additionally, incorporating AI-driven analytics could help users identify trends and optimize their strategies based on real-time data, leading to more informed decision-making and streamlined operations.

  14. 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.

  15. 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.

  16. We recently implemented a quarterly report for one of our grants - it would be great if there was a way to assign the same follow up more than once rather than creating a copy of the report for each quarter.

  18. It would be excellent if the Contact Email History messages could be exported. I often copy and paste them into word documents to be able to send them to contacts with questions about their award histories.

  19. I inadvertently Closed our scholarship recipients when I went through the old applications in order to update contact info. They have to be kept in approved to pull up by group; Closed applications can only be accessed one by one. The Close Request button is on the bottom right where it's common to find a button to leave a form/web page or an X on the upper right. Foundant has neither for users. You have to go to the Home icon, Requests & Users option, or the back arrow. It's not good user layout. Move the Close Request to the…

  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…
