Tabbed sections in Applications
I would love to be able to break up long applications into tabbed sections or, better yet, separate pages. The ability to add section breaks and group questions that came with GLM 2.0 helps. But I still think it would be easier for grant seekers to navigate long applications if questions were organized on different pages.
Survey Moneky has a nice interface for organizing questions in multiple page surveys. Their interface doesn't allow users to select pages by clicking on a tab, which is what I would love to see, but it does allow users to flip between pages that have been labeled so they know what to expect on each page.
Thanks,
Aaron

Feedback from one of my applicants:
Dividing the application questions into sections (vs. one long page with all the questions) would make it easier for applicants to navigate through the proposal as they complete it. -

Yes! Tabs or Pagination has been on our list for a long time now. In the future we are looking at the Groups concept actually being pages. Turbo Tax does a great job with this concept. I think it might make things a lot easer for both applicants and reviewers. Thank you Aaron.
