Board Member View of Grants - Add a Column for Requested Amount

When Board members view grants under Application Evaluation (Board Member), the grants come up in columns: Process, Organization, Applicant, Project, Score Status. Would it be possible to add a column for "Requested Amount?" Our Board members would like to be able to sort the grants by the amount of money being requested. In this way, they can quickly find the grants requesting larger amounts of money and review them first; giving them a higher priority. This would speed up their review process. Thank you.

    Now that custom columns is a thing, is this possible? Our evaluators would also like to be able to sort requests by amount requested when working through their evaluations.

    Hi Deb and Amy,

    I can definitely see where you are coming from with this suggestion. The major challenge to this is that not everyone uses the "built-in" report field of "Amount Requested." And we don't have any way of knowing which field they are using (i.e. one client could be using the built-in report field and another could be using one they created called "Amt. of Request". The minute we made one available, everyone not using the built-in one would want whatever one they were using to be included ...

    One thing that we have discussed is letting people add a single report field for display in the various grids of data (this wouldn't be a one-time thing - they could change it as they went). We don't have that slated for the next release or 2, but it's been a topic of conversation and seems like it would meet your goal here as well as others.

    In the longer-term, we are discussing some significant architectural and functional changes to report fields in general, but that's quite a ways out.

    I'll keep the discussion about the addition of a report field to various views going with our Product Team.

    Thanks much for the suggestion - it's a really valid one.

    I would love to have a requested amount column as well. At least on the stages before a grant is approved. It is a key piece of information for my board and me and being able to see it at a glace would be a big plus.
