  2. We use a scholarship scoring rubric that uses weighted scales for Income & GPA. In order to alleviate the workload for our evaluators, we don't ask them to score income or GPA since it is a fixed score based on the scale.

    We calculate these scores along with a total score using formulas within reporting. Currently, I am keeping the 9 lines of formula used to calculate the scores in a Word doc and copying and pasting each of the 9 lines into SLM Reporting for each Opportunity.

    It gets pretty time consuming, considering that we have 150+ reports to…

  3. Our scholarship scoring rubric uses weighted scales for income and GPA. To alleviate the workload for our scoring committees, we don't ask them to score income or GPA because it is a fixed score based on our scale, we use the formulas to calculate those scores and also a total score.

    There isn't a way to save formulas within reporting to where I could just copy and paste once or ideally, I would like to save the formula "set" and turn it on and off.

  4. We only want to accept a certain number of letters of Inquiry. The process we have been using is to turn on submission by setting the Visibility field to Public, and then turning it to Restricted once we have reached the desired number.
    This past funding cycle, we received three times our maximum in the first two minutes. The manual approach is no longer working for us.

    It would be great if the system could be set to accept only a certain number of LOIs and then automatically set the Visibility field to Restricted. Alternately, it could be set to…

  5. In GLM, the address fields do not allow for international organizations, and the strict requirements often make it so international applicants have to input incorrect information in order to create a profile. It would be great if these fields could accommodate international addresses.

  6. Our SLM evaluators would like to see the Score column populated with the total from the scoring they complete with the decimal question. Our committees prefer having the ability to score using .25, .5, and .75 on our 1-10 scoring scale, so that is why we do not use the provided Score question type on our evaluation forms. Is there any way we could have that column give the option to total that other question type? Our committee members would like to see how their scores compare across the applicants during their review. Thanks!

  7. It would be nice to abandon/close an application when you're in it. Having to exit back out into the request tab and count which one you were in is confusing. The only way to be sure I'm abandoning the correct application is to open it but the option to abandon/close is only on the request summary view. I added images for better clarification

  8. Create an interactive signature box in the email template that I am creating, so the applicant can type his/her name in the signature box.

  9. After talking to Foundant Support, I think it would be nice for fund advisors to be able to generate reports. Specifically, if fund advisors can pull a report with donor names, addresses, gift amounts, etc., rather than having to click into each donor's profile, would be helpful for the nonprofits and donors we serve.

  10. We've had many grant award checks returned for "no receptacle" or "insufficient address" due to the application in GLM auto filling with whatever address was put in when the organization's account was initially set up. Most people will put their physical address in this spot. It would be helpful if when setting up new accounts in GLM both the mailing address and the physical address of an organization were required, then for the mailing address to be the default for the grant application. Any way around this issue?

  11. Create a "short name" option for fields that the user defines when designing a form so that data exports do not require manual manipulation of the column headings to create something functional for display purposes rather than having the entire question serve as the label for that column.

  12. The vast majority of the default Metrics Dashboard data is related to decisions and payments/disbursements. Our organization does not facilitate payment through SLM/CSuite, so these charts/datasets are blank/not useful to us at all.

    It would be great to be able to customize this dashboard to reflect the data in real-time that is most important to our organization (largely applicant data, so for example, race/ethnicity data, geographic location, number of applicants per program, etc).

  13. The number of documents shows up at the request level but not at the organization level. Seeing the number icon on the Documents tab would be helpful because it would indicate that information has been uploaded. I believe the number of comments shows up at the organization level, so would the number of documents be able to be added?

  14. We would like to remove or deactivate the "See Opportunities" button on the left-hand To Do panel. All of our applicants can get to the apply page by clicking "Apply", and having more than one pathway creates confusion.

  15. In the new Learning Center, we should be able to have an administrator-level account, so that we can create new users for our staff, assign them training courses, and view their progress in completing each of those. It's a missed opportunity to not have this.

  19. Implementing an automated email or system notification to the primary user in CSuite when grants are synced or approved from GLM would greatly reduce the risk of grants being overlooked and significantly improve workflow efficiency.

    As the Grants Manager, I work primarily in GLM, while our CFO manages CSuite. We often rely on lengthy email threads to track grant requests and approvals, which makes it easy for information to get lost. There have been several instances where approved grants were missed and not paid out on time simply because the approval was buried in email communications.

    After searching the Foundant…

  20. Add more characters to CC within email templates- Currently only 200 characters is about 5 addresses. We need to email at least 12 addresses in the CC field and be able to add more addresses to the to field.
