Option to Disable Question List Button for Branching Processes
We use branching questions in our grant application that are set to internal so we can branch an applicant to the application we want them to complete and not have multiple processes in our site. I just realized that when an applicant clicks on the "Question List" button in their site, this shows them ALL of the questions in our application, regardless of how the application should be branched. The fact that applicants can see the entire question list for an application seems to negate the purpose of branching. This is very confusing for applicants because they do not know…
4 votesHello,
You are correct in that all branch groups are displayed in the question list; we follow this as best practice for projects like project streamlining so that applicants don't become surprised by the amount of time the application will take them. We also encourage as a best practice that you add instructions to the branch groups for that visibility and communication explain when they will see that group.
However, Internal Questions should not be displayed to applicants. Please report this to our support team so that we can review it.

SLM- UA New Student Dashboard & Confirmation page - please sort in same order as the Opportunities page
The student sees the 'Assigned to You' list and the Confirmation Page opportunities in a random order. Please let us control that based on how they are listed on the opportunities tab. It would look way better to be in Alphabetical order.

Send denial email when application is denied.
I need a denial email to be sent to the applicant when I hit deny on the application. When the application is approved, an email is sent. But I have to go in and send a separate email after I have denied the request. I don't want to deny a request but forget to notify them!

Could AI verify transcripts?
A requirement for our scholarship application is that the student must upload an academic transcript. I am currently having to open over 140 applications, then open the document in the transcript section of the application to verify it is actually a transcript. Could AI be developed to open and interpret the document to confirm it is a transcript? It would be a huge time-saver for staff.

eligibility quiz
In the eligibility quiz in GLM, the ability to customize a "passing" message like you can customize a "failure" message would be beneficial to make things very clear to applicants that they can move on to the application stage. We had a few organizations last cycle that passed the eligibility quiz but it wasn't entirely clear to them that they were allowed to move onto the next step in the application process.

SLM- Third party account view
SLM request from parents/ caregivers and well as mentors and counselors that it would be helpful if applicants could give them viewable access of the users dashboard. In this request, trusted adults would be able to be added to the account by the user. As third party viewers of the account, they could see which applications have been submitted and when, follow up form due dates and submissions.

Applicants aren't able to access their organization's basic info once the application period has ended. They should be able to go into their account at any time and update their organization's contact info - ie address, phone, website... as well as their organization's contacts. We, as admins, shouldn't have to manage this. Additionally, we have some applicants who have multiple EDs listed in their contacts. They should manage this and remove the outdated ones. Not us. It'd be helpful if they had a tab always available to them in which they can see their organization's contact info and the contacts…

drop the 2 factor verification for the scholarship application process
I am having a hard time getting Latino scholarship applicants because it takes 2 factor verification to get into the system. Most of our Latino students do not have cell phones or computers at home so it is difficult for them to apply

3rd Party Decline Option:
We have had instances where we are reaching out to 3rd party requests (specifically with LOR) and they refuse to submit a letter on the student's behalf. Would it be possible or beneficial for there to be a decline option in the automated email so the student can find someone else? And yes, we do include strong language to encourage students to talk with teachers/counselors they would like to have submit a letter of recommendation on their behalf.

We have expanded to use this application to our Europe locations. As of right now, the Amount Requested is hard coded to ONLY dollars. Is there any interest in expanding this to other currencies?

Streamlining Third Party Question Groups
Asking an applicant to compose an email to their anonymous third party is an extra step that overcomplicates things. The applicant has to deal with opening up an email interface, copy-pasting a pre-written message, etc. And for what? It's redundant to send the third party an email explaining that they'll be getting another email.
It should work like references on a resume. Provide us with the third party's email address, and we'll contact them ourselves. Simple as.

Printing application & Returning to saved application
From one of our grantees:
When saving application DRAFTS, it would be easier and save us time if the application returned to the question that we were last writing rather than to a separate page where we then need to return to the top of the application page and find the question where we left off.
Also, if we could print the DRAFT applications directly, rather than downloading a PDF first, that would again be a timesaver.

Adding Hyperlink Capability for Applicants
Several applicants have asked how to add hyperlinks to their applications. Please allow hyperlinks on future applications. There is often a character or word count limit for open calls (due to the high submission numbers) and hyperlinks are an invaluable tool for applicants.
6 votesAre you looking for this to be allowed in a text area responses or a separate area for links?

Simple LOI fix to reduce confusion for Applicants
There is a red circle with a backslash icon that appears when applicants try to copy and paste from their LOI to Proposal Application. This icon confuses Applicants because they are in fact able to copy and paste.
I am getting several emails from applicants who don't understand they can still copy and paste. Please delete the confusing red circle backslash icon.

Applicant add rows/columns to table questions
It would be helpful to allow applicants to add rows/columns to tables in the event they need more space than we have built out. The function would need to be made so that the admin could lock rows and columns if needed so that the applicant cannot add fields outside of summary rows, for example.

pdf with no comments
We use the Administrator Comments feature to provide draft review feedback to our applicants. Many applicants use the comments, then want us to remove them so that they can create a clean PDF of their completed application. We don't want to delete our comments as that is part of the grant process record, but we also don't want reviewers to be able to see the comments. Right now, our only option is to make all the comments not visible to applicants, proxy as the applicant, download the PDF, then make all the comments visible to the applicant again. This is…

Suppressing Applicant Name / Project Field in Evaluation
We have 20+ scholarships that want applicant names suppressed from applications in the evaluation process. We have always had the student fill out the "Project Name" field with their name. This year, we had everything setup to suppress applicant details from the evaluators, but did not realize that the "Project Name" cannot be suppressed. We had to manually go in and change every student's name to a code in the Project Name field.
Short of instructing students in the future to not use their name as the project name field, is there any chance the Project Name field could also…
