New Administrators
Occasionally we have a new administrator that we add to our system. The issue is when added they automatically receive emails for our processes including those that are archived. We create a new process for each cycle, so what this means is we spend a good deal of time deselecting their name on old processes so they don't receive automatically generated emails about grant reports. It would be nice if a new administrator's name would only appear on current processes or if it would be an "opt in" option versus "opt out."

New Side by Side View for Evaluations - Some suggestions...
Love the idea of the Evaluation Side by Side view! Although I would like to see two important things brought into this view.
The Send Email button that would appear at the bottom of the LOI or Application used to say "Email [Applicant's Name]" - it doesn't appear anymore. It is not at the bottom of the "Your Evaluation" in side by side, where you can Deny Request, or Save the evaluation, and for some weird reason you can now Send Email to Yourself* -but not to the applicant.
I am not sure why you might want to send yourself…2 votesThank you so much for taking the time to share your idea in the Idea Lab. We genuinely value your input and creativity.

Allow request documents to be seen by 3rd parties as well.
For grant agreement forms, we often need an institution official to agree to the IP language or grant acceptance form. We usually have the applicant enter in a 3rd party email to complete this, but then have to rely on the applicant to also send them the document they are agreeing to. It would be helpful to have that 3rd party be able to view the request document like the applicant can.

Create and email alert for Letters of Recommendation
I have several scholarships that I am awaiting letters of recommendation for. Everyday I have to click the scholarship and scroll down to see if the letters of recommendation have come in for the applicant. It would be nice to have an alert letting me know when a letter has been submitted for a student. Not sure if it's possible, but just a thought. Thanks

Email
Is there an easy way to include other organization's contacts on an email message (vs. manually typing an email address)? We send messages to multiple contacts of fiscally sponsored groups.

Allow us to determine which fields in a User account should be required
It used to be that the only required fields for a new user was the name, email and password. Now, when I create a new user (for example, as an evaluator), I have to include their title, phone, address, city, etc. It's a pain, and I don't usually have those details. Can I change those fields so they're not required? Or change at least some of them? Thanks!

Lock the name field of a user or add pop-up message
Currently, organizations are able to edit their own user information, and they are able to edit some fields of their organization information. I encounter that when there is turnover in an organization or a change in who is responsible for reporting to the Foundation that users share their log-in information and ultimately just change the information in a user profile from the previous user to themselves. While this is convenient from a user perspective, it makes our history look like that person has done all of the previous reports, submitted the application, etc, rather than alerting us to a new…

Send Batch Emails from Payments Tracking Page
We send out confirmation emails with our grant payments each month. These emails vary based on the payment schedule of the grant, but not drastically so. It would be wonderful if I could select a group of payments from the tracking page and email them all the same template.

Allow batch emails to be sent from the Organizations Search page
It would be helpful to able send a batch email using the list of organizations that appear on the organizations search page by having a send email tab at the bottom of that page. Presently we can only Merge, Quick Export or Archive organizations that we select on the list.

Add a button to deny LOIs at bottom of Evaluation Summary page
After closing evaluation, the options at the bottom of the Evaluation Summary page are to "email evaluator" and to "approve" evaluations. It would be convenient to also have the option to deny evaluation here. Currently, the work flow requires one instead to return to the dashboard, select closed evaluations, and go from there with batch options. I like to work on one LOI at a time and not have to return back out the dashboard.
It would also be nice if when I did a denial, the decision date calendar brought up the current date by default, but allowed that…

change the system so you can email more than 100 applicants at one time.
We have over 300 scholarship applicants and it would be nice to email them all at one time.

Applicant Details - bring in address line 2 please!
Hello! I would like to suggest that in the Applicant Details that are available to attach to auto emails include the second address line as well as the first address line (they currently only pull in the first address line).
We attach the applicant details to all of our auto emails and request that grantees check the address information and let us know if updates are needed (as just another way to ensure we aren't sending the check to an incorrect address) but I've had grantees sent back emails concerned that their suite/apt numbers aren't included.
Thanks for considering!

evaluator's email field in the report dataset
We want to pull a report of all evaluation forms (a copy of each evaluation for each evaluator) and we want the email of the evaluator to be on that report (we can only get first and last name)... this way we can use excel to filter the email of the evaluators that haven't completed or started the evaluations... has anyone else figured out a way to do this with one data set?

Alert for repeat applicants with overdue requirements
I would love it if repeat applicants who have an overdue requirement (aka Follow-Up) would get a message when they try to start a new proposal. . . like "Hey! You still owe us a Final Report from 2013. Please contact us." Perhaps this mechanism could be similar to the email that pops up if they try to create a duplicate organization? We'd hate for them to spend the time and energy to prepare and submit a proposal that is VERY likely to be screened out due to their delinquent Follow-up. Thank you for considering!

It would be helpful when sending batch emails to have a choice to send it to the primary contact, the applicant or both.
We want to send decision notifications to the primary contact for an organization, usually the organization top executive, but also want to notify the applicant, either by a copy of the email or by sending it to both. That is not currently possible with batch email because it defaults to the applicant, so in instances where the primary contact and applicant are different, batch emails cannot be used for these notifications.

Email format in Organization View

decision comments when approving an LOI (vs. application)
We just figured out that one can use "decision comments" as a merge field in customized email templates, and we love it! It's so convenient when sending out a batch email to be able to just merge these comments! We've successfully used it for one of our pocesses that only has an application (no LOI). Now we're working on a process WITH an LOI, and when we approved the LOIs it simply moved them over into the "draft application" category, and the comments we entered did not get classified as "decision comments". I can guess why they are treated differently:…

Support Log Page
A place to see your requests to support, both open and closed, and their status. Sometimes you have multiple tickets open and if someone in my organization wants/needs an update, I cannot provide one without emailing support again.
