Grantee Failed to Complete Follow-up

Some of our grantees have failed to submit a Follow-Up /Report. Rather than erase them or having them stay perpetually in draft form, can Foundant add an option to mark as "Failed to Complete." Perhaps we could also add a "Waived" option. Many thanks!

    Hi Chris,

    Thank you for the updates on these issues. I am certainly interested in both for our organization as it is important to us to be able to keep track of applicants which are out of compliance as we work through our different processes and the "why" they are out of compliance, such as with the expanded statuses would be a great help with that as well.

    Hi all,

    This suggestion touches on a couple different ideas that have come up at various times. First, having more "statuses" for a request to be in. I've heard requests to add "Withdrawn" / "Abandoned by Applicant" (for requests that an applicant wants to have withdrawn from consideration), "Rescinded" (to handle cases after a grant has been made but then needs to be, well, rescinded for whatever reason), "On Hold", as well as others. I'll keep the "Failed to Complete" or something similar on the list with these others.

    Second, more than a few users have asked or commented on making organizations that are "out of compliance" more evident within GLM (other Idea Lab threads include: flag an organization and alert that an applicant has an active grant).

    Both of these themes are on our product road map and come up periodically for internal discussion. Updating our handling of statuses is a fairly major undertaking, and it's not something we currently have planned for a specific time frame. Flagging an organization and/or alerting an applicant are less work, but we won't be considering them until we have first done some work on the GLM user interface. This should make it easier to do a better job of flagging / alerting users within the system.

    Thanks for the suggestion and comments. Ideally, some more folks will comment on this thread. Generally, the more comments there are, the easier it is for us to understand the suggestion from more perspectives and make sure we ultimately have as good of an implementation as possible.

    I think this is a really smart idea. We rarely have people who fail to complete as we do everything we can to follow up and get those reports, but it can happen and this would be a great way in addition to the organization history notes to indicate that they are out of compliance.

    Kathleen, that sounds like a good idea. We don't have an issue with it because if a grantee does not submit a follow-up, they remain in limbo until it is submitted! They cannot apply for another grant until all follow-ups for their last grant are complete. It helps us to have them remain in draft for our information.
