Mobile Interface
It has been suggested by a user that we have a mobile responsive (friendly) interface. Thought I'd pass that along since it makes sense to me. Thanks for the consideration.

Thanks for the reply. I think our need is on the end of board members and not for
applicants (the latter of whom I suspect would be using a computer, not
mobile device). As an administrator, I have not attempted to work on my phone or tablet.I'll pass along the latest feedback from one of our foundation trustees who has been trying to vote on evaluations while he is traveling.
"Every other LOI that
is review on my phone get stuck when I submit the vote. It freezes after I vote
and hit submit, I have to close and login again. It does not happen every time, but it makes it hard to vote from my mobile."No reply is necessary. I just wanted to clarify the issue.

Hi Karen,
Thanks for the suggestion. While GLM today is not a purely "responsive design" web application, it has run fine on most mobile devices (I've even used my smart phone to access it on occasion). That said, over the next 6-12 months, we are working on changes that will allow us to convert it to a more pure responsive design.
However, regardless of what we do on that front, one of the challenges with GLM is that for a lot of users, it's a very data-intensive application. There is not a lot we can easily do to make displaying hundreds of applications that great of a user experience on a smart phone, for instance. And by the same token, trying to fill out a hundred question application on a smart phone is not going to be that great of a user experience.
So in summary - we will be making improvements in line with your suggestion, but there are some limits on what we will be able to do.
Thanks, and let me know if you have any further questions,
