Toggle between friendly names
I'd like to be able to have different friendly names on outgoing emails for different programs. Ideally, it would be another choice on an email template/message.

Automatic email triggered by question in application
I'd like to see an automatic email be sent based on a question answered on the application. For example, "Would you like information on the other financial aid assistance we offer?" And if they click "Yes" then an email with more information is sent.

SLM Merge Field
I'd like to suggest adding a merge field in the email templates that pulls in the email address of the student's parent or guidance counselor.

Email template logic
It would be so useful to be able to incorporate logic into email templates. If I could have one sentence if a certain condition is true, and another if it's not, would save me from having to create (and maintain!) a multitude of templates.

Due date for evaluations
Would you consider adding a hard due date for evaluations like there is for applications? This would allow us to use due date as a merge field in our email communications to evaluators to notify them when they are due. It would nice to have an auto-reminder 2 weeks in advance etc.

installment
'Installment' should be a field option that can auto-populate in GLM - email templates. We fund multi-year grants and it would be helpful to include both the total amount awarded as well as the installment amount.

Draft Emails
It would be great if we could either save a draft of an email to an individual or schedule emails to go out at a certain time.

Copy Collaborators in Email Communications
I'm hoping there is a way our foundation can copy collaborators in email communications and send them auto-generated emails for a request within GLM. Just as there is the option to CC/Copy a primary contact, It would be GREAT to have that same checkbox for CC/Copy collaborators. So many of our organizations use grant writers who are not affiliated with their organization to submit proposals and we need our communications to go to them!

Give the choice to cc secondary contact in emails
In sending out emails to applicants, in most cases they are already going to the primary contact (grant writer, Dev Director, program mgr. etc.) And the ED or CEO is almost always the secondary contact. It seems silly for the drop-down option to be "cc primary contact"...when it should include the option of "cc secondary contact". We just completed our entire first GLM process, and have only now realized that we've not been cc'ing the ED of most organizations!! This puts the onus on the primary to share. And yes, I guess we should have been adding a cc to…

Ability turn off automatic e-mails for individual requests
We often have to turn off automatic e-mails for short period of times when we work on individual requests and do not want the applicant to receive a notification.
Sometimes, we forget to turn the automatic e-mail back on in the tool manager and it creates confusion.
It would be great to be able to toggle off (an on) automatic e-mails for an individual request, directly in the request.

third party link
The email the system sends to a third party is editable except for the link to the request. Would it be possible to make that link much more visible? Like a button or header size or something?

Use the merge fields in email templates
I am trying very hard to outsmart the system. I am trying to use some of the non-standard merge fields that I generated out of one of our processes in an email template. I got it to work in one, but am having trouble with the second...If I can get it to work, I'll be able to pull data from the installments and one of my follow up forms into an automatic email for our Admin Assistant, so she can then generate a payment request in PeopleSoft. I did notice in the email template that I got to work, that…

sort email templates
It would would be very handy if we could have the sorting feature added to the header on the email templates list.

Collaborator Receive Emails
I love the collaborator feature! Here come the but. But it would be great if the collaborator could receive emails as well as the applicant. I have several executive directors that submit and application but then want someone else to complete the follow ups.

Delete users
DELETE USERS
It would be most helpful to be able to DELETE (not just deactivate) Users. We don't want to keep a bunch of outdated/not relevant /even deceased contacts under "inactive" if we don't have to. We have to keep some Users as "inactive" with dummy emails in order to show concurrent affiliations - so it's already a busy place for us.96 votes -
popup reminder to view print packet when submitting application
As mentioned previously by Angie in this suggestion (http://idealab.foundant.com/forums/339786-glm-idea-lab/suggestions/12344550-print-packet-option-by-save-and-submit-buttons), applicants aren't really using the print packet option to check for file upload errors or for changes in the text (which sometimes occur after pasting in and saving the application). I like Angie's idea of a button, or possibly a popup reminder ("Are you ready to submit - have you looked at the print packet to see if there were any errors in text or uploads?"). Either way, maybe "Preview" or "Preview Application" would make more sense than "Print Packet" to the applicant.

Printing out emails
It would be very helpful if I could print out sent emails from the GMS. My workaround is to copy myself on my email templates but I'd like the ability to go and print out any sent emails, as needed.

Adding Additional Contacts
Perhaps I'm missing something, but I would like to be able to add additional contacts to a request, without assigning them a password to log in. We use the cc/bc option a lot in our letters and the only way I can see to add these additional contacts requires me creating them, which them prompts the assignment of a password and them subsequently receiving an email about their account creation. Can there be a way to just add additional contacts that we can choose to merge with documents when we create them?

Administrator Comments vs Applicant Viewing Administrator comments
In the past few months, I've seen a high increase in applicants emailing and calling saying they cannot find the "Administrator Comment" when I revert back to draft, so I logged back in as the applicant to see what the sudden confusion is - it's incredibly hard to find in the applicant view! When I MAKE an administrator comment, there is a blue highlighted strip across the top. When I log in as the applicant, there is just a little vertical bar, with text smaller than regular instructions. A lot of our applicants are elderly, and it's been very time…
