Automatic Email for Account Holders when Portal opens
Send an automatic email to people who have opened accounts when the scholarship application portal opens (as well as an automatic email when there is only 1 week left).

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.

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.

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

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.

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…

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?

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?

Organization Merge History
From what I can tell, there is no way to indicate if a request is from an organization that was merged into another organization or if it was originally from the final organization. Currently, for applicant funding history (which we provide in a Merge Document) to our grant reviewers, we have to manually go through each request and figure out which was for Org A and which was for Org B. If our current staff ever leave, this knowledge will be lost or buried in the Comments tab. Is there a simple way to see this?

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.

SLM UA Color
We have three SLM UA's that students can apply to and as it currently appears on a student's dashboard, all UA's are in the color blue. Is there a way that each UA has their own color. This will help with an inclusivity for color blindness.

SLM Comment button position
Perhaps we leave an inordinate amount of comments (?) but it is driving me crazy that I have to scroll all the way to the bottom to hit the Add Comment button. Can that show up at the top instead.
Thank you for all your attention.1 vote -
Telephone Number
It would be nice to have a 'phone number' question type to select when creating an application so that the applicant doesn't have to worry about how to format their phone number when entering it. Something like --xxxx would be great so that every phone number entry followed the same formating.

Improve application with icon sections and progress toolbars
View for students needs updating. We previously used a different software. Each section (family, academics, essays, etc.) had it's own customizable icon with a picture and a progress bar to show what % of that section was completed. SLM UA looks so daunting for students.

Shared Documents for Applicants
We would to have a 'Shared Documents' folder specifically for our applicants/grantees to be able to access.
I.e. This way the Agreement to Grant Terms is available for them to access at any time through their profile.

Allow Copy Previous Requests from Organization (Instead of User)
It would be really useful if the Copy Previous Answers function worked for all requests under an Organizational profile instead of just the specific User profile. This would be helpful for some of our organizations who experience high turnover or for folks who are applying when other colleagues are on leave.
