  1. It would be wonderful to be able to send an automatic reminder email to applicants 7 days after their submission of the universal application to remind them of the next steps in the process and to remind them to be sure to log in and complete any supplemental requests for information required for specific opportunities.

  2. Within Universal Applications, there are two spots that due dates must be updated, both within the Summary section and then also within the Application section. These due dates do not update when one is updated which creates confusion. I thought I had updated the due date on our Universe (on the Summary tab) before posting the UA for applications, but then noticed that students' drafts were showing a past-due error for last year's due date. I had to hunt around to figure out where the old due date was stored and ask Support for help to figure out how to…

  3. Would it be possible in the future for applicants to type in their EIN and it would prepopulate their Organization Name? It would help ensure that there aren't differences in spelling/format between organization names and would get rid of some steps for our merge template creation!

  4. Remove the Rating system from Evaluations as a required field.
    Our Evaluations never show as Complete even when they are because we do not use a rating system to evaluate grants.

  5. When sending documents through DocuSign via Foundant we want to let multiple people be able to do it. At the moment Foundant only allows it to be connected to one account so other people are not able to receive the documents that they sent out on DocuSign. If there was a way to have separate Foundant accounts connected to different DocuSign keys.

  6. Currently, when I create a table that may have an unknown number of rows used (such as asking applicants to list the date, time, location of grant-funded events), I just have to guess at what might be the right number of rows to add. If an applicant only uses one row of 10 available, the application packet will still print all 10 rows and use up a lot of space. Can blank rows be collapsed in the application packet?

    (Even better would be to allow applicants to add rows if needed, but I suspect that's more complicated.)

  7. After more than 6 years at Foundant, I still forget to click Save Summary when editing process summary bc it is usually out of my line of sight. Clients do this all the time. Moving it into line of vision would really help people not lose changes.

  8. On the "Merge Templates" page, it would be helpful if we could arrange and view the merge documents in order by column header, specifically by date or alphabetically.

  9. Please make merging documents as easy as using merge for batch emails. It's ridiculous after all these years that the workflow for doing this is still so clunky.

    1. download the field codes
    2. make sure you no to answer "No" when the popup comes up
    3. copy and paste the codes into the template in Word
    4. upload the template
    5. go to Requests and Decisions and search for the appropriate requests and decisions, and
    6. create the documents.

  10. We have a number of evaluators with conflicts. Would be great if we could record these conflicts in a form and then have the system prevent us from assigning an evaluator to read a request from an org they have a conflict with

  11. When running a report you will get all results from the process/s you choose, then have to edit the Excel that you download.

    It would be nice to delete the entries in the spreadsheet from the site prior to downloading it. Or, only click on the applicants that you are interested in downloading information for w/in the report set-up.

  12. Our Evaluators need to know what an organization's mission statement is to accurately evaluate proposals. This information is currently stored in the organization profile and cannot be viewed by evaluators. I think that selected fields from the organization profile should be visible to evaluators.

  13. LOI - generally called a Letter of Intent - we call it a Letter of Introduction. It's kind of an 'elevator speech' for applicants where we get a snapshot of some financial needs (we ask for up to 3). We use is as a guide and have a phone conversation with the applicant once the LOI is submitted. depending on our yearly goals, we may pass on this applicant for the year, but want to keep them for the next year.

    It would be great to have a 'stand-alone' LOI that can be branched to an application at another date…

  14. The client would like to see the ability to select a committee to show the visibility of a folder instead of just a role. Right now they have many different committees and it is not good that they can all see everything in that role in shared documents. This sometimes requires the client to use other systems to manage parts of their evaluator experience.

    Client voice: I would like to use this system for the full evaluation experience but it creates privacy issues when I can't assign specific folders to specific committees. (Bank of Hawaii)

  15. Hello! I'm here to share that we have many students submit the General Application but then not finalize their applications for the specific scholarship opportunities they were matched with by that submission. I think that updating the screen showing the applications they've been matched with would help. Right now, it shows the opportunity name and has an "edit" button next to it, but this doesn't make it clear to students that they HAVE to actually go edit that application to actually apply for that scholarship. Could the button be renamed to "Complete this application" or something like that to make…

  16. currently have an evaluator bulletin where reviewers can post questions to foundation admin that they need to ask the applicants. Questions are linked to a project, other reviewers can see all the questions and the answer. Staff receive a notification when a question is posted, all evaluators get a notification when a response is submitted by staff.

  17. Would be very helpful to have a Stewardship/Donor Profile section in SLM, or if it could be in CSuite and sync over to SLM. We like to give the students information regarding who their scholarship donor is, and why they chose to initiate a scholarship fund. It would be helpful to have a place in SLM that the information was stored, with a picture of the donor(s) or person being memorialized, and then we could include a link in the students award notification to that donors information. The student could then click on the link and see the history of…

  18. We import awards into CSuite for scholarships where the applications originate outside of SLM (i.e. our education foundation partners who manage their own application processes but we pay awards for them) and then sync them to SLM to be able to use the Follow Up functionality for getting necessary paperwork from the awardees. BUT--- there is no way to de-dupe the users in the CSuite to SLM sync process, so duplicate applicant profiles are created in SLM when we do this if the student already has a SLM profile. It creates a lot of extra manual work to have to…

  19. In sending out emails to applicants, in most cases they are already going to the primary contact (grant writer, Dev Director, program mgr. etc.) And the ED or CEO is almost always the secondary contact. It seems silly for the drop-down option to be "cc primary contact"...when it should include the option of "cc secondary contact". We just completed our entire first GLM process, and have only now realized that we've not been cc'ing the ED of most organizations!! This puts the onus on the primary to share. And yes, I guess we should have been adding a cc to…

  20. Question Library - As an admin, I want to be able to add the same question across multiple forms and have the responses all tie together in reporting. Currently, if I add a new question to separate processes, I have to re-create that question in every single process and then the responses don’t show up in the same column in reporting.
