It would be helpful to have a grading mechanism at the organizational level; i.e.: consider strongly, consider, don't consider.

Reviewer assignments -suggestion for reviewers to access app's at later date
It would be great to be able to assign reviewers to applications on X date, but for the reviewers to not be able to access the applications until a later date and time that could be set in Foundant.

Landscape Orientation for PDFs of Evaluation Forms
In our evaluation forms, we stick rubric tables inside the instruction sections of each question. It displays perfectly online, but when the evaluation forms are converted to PDF, the rubrics spill beyond the page.
Could you please add an option to generate PDFs in landscape orientation? Or tweak your PDF builder to scale / wrap instructions to fit inside the page?
Thanks.

Allow branching in evaluators
It would be great if the software could allow evaluators to be assigned based on branching. For example, if we created an application that the first portion was basic information about an organization (i.e. organization history, board makeup, etc), but then we had a branching question for them to select which one of our grant programs they were applying for (and allow them to select multiple options that would then trigger specific questions for those grant programs). There could be the option to assign the different grant-specific branch of questions to different evaluators - basically have multiple evaluators assigned but…

Remove "Rating" as a required field for Evaluations
Remove the Rating system from Evaluations as a required field.
Our Evaluations never show as Complete even when they are because we do not use a rating system to evaluate grants.2 votes -
evaluator
Maybe this exists already....it would be so helpful to be able to filter evaluators by process - we have a committee for each grant and clicking through each time while referring to the original committee list is cumbersome. If I could filter evaluators to only show the ones who would score a particular grant program, I could get through assignments much quicker.

ChatGPT
A donor questioned how AI might impact scholarship and grant applications, something I hadn't considered. I wonder if there's been any discussion about building in some check to ensure AI hasn't written answers.

Evaluator Discussion Forum/Bulletin
currently have an evaluator bulletin where reviewers can post questions to foundation admin that they need to ask the applicants. Questions are linked to a project, other reviewers can see all the questions and the answer. Staff receive a notification when a question is posted, all evaluators get a notification when a response is submitted by staff.

Option to turn off ability to create a print packet and download attachments for evaluators
Want the ability to remove the "Create Print Packet" button from the evaluator's screen and remove the ability to download documents that have been uploaded into an application. Concerned that evaluators can download sensitive information such as transcripts, FAFSA, etc.

Table-Style Question: Formatted for Reviewers/Evaluators
It would be really beneficial for reviewers to be able to see all information that applicants enter/type in the table cells when using the side-by-side evaluation display. Currently, the number of characters that display per row is very limited.

Allow iPhone photos (.heic photos) to be viewable in Document Viewer
If an applicant uploads an iPhone photo (.heic photo) then you will not be able to view it within the system. You will need to download it to your computer first. Would like to be able to view .heic photos within the system.

Allow "Approve Request" to be toggled on or off in the process summary
It would be great if we could toggle the "approve request" feature on and off - especially at the LOI stage, but really at either. It is concerning that someone could approve the request accidentally. Right now we have turned off any automatic emails so that if this does happen the applicant isn't alerted, but it would be nice to simply turn the feature on only when needed.
1 voteHi Paula,
would you turn this off for specific users?

copy request
I would like to see an option to rename a request in the process of copying it. Kind of like a 'save as' process, if I were able to add in a word or two to the end of the Project Name in the process of copying it, that would be very handy.

Board Member Access to Follow Up Reports
The process to access Follow Up reports for our board members is certainly cumbersome, and discourages board members from using the online data (read this as I have to produce paper copies of each follow-up). A folder on their Dashboard would be helpful; and at a minimum, it would be useful to have a "Return to Follow Ups Submitted" option, so that they don't have to go all the way back to Requests and Decisions to pull up each report.

Allow for weighting of different evaluation questions
At this point, we are having to use an external, web-based tool called Jotform to do our quantitative evaluation of proposals because of that programs ability to weight different criteria more heavily than others. This is creating a good amount of double work as we then need to move scores and program officer summary content from Jotform back into Foundant to maintain historical memory. We'd love to see the day when we can shed Jotform altogether. Any chances of that?

Application Evaluation Bucket on Dashboard
I would be helpful to see "Complete" Status on the Application Evaluation dashboard. How does an Administrator know that an evaluator has completed their review except to have to click in the Application Evaluation "Assigned" - which defeats the purpose of a dashboard? Thank you

Batch Evaluation Assignments - Split into Eval 1 and Eval 2 processes
We have different evaluators for the Evaluation 1 step. It is dependent on the location, etc. of the applicant. We can have any one of three different evaluators for the Evaluation 1 process.
When we batch assign evaluators for Evaluator 2 process, requests go to all board members. However, when batching Evaluation 2 assignments, all other participants in the Evaluation 1 process (even those not assigned because of request particulars) receive an Evaluation 1 assignment as well. So now all other Evaluation 1 members receive the request in their Staff Evaluation bucket as well as their Board Member bucket (some…4 votes -
scoring committees
we have 7 scoring teams that annually score grants, it is cumbersome to reset the scoring team for each process... would it be possible to create a mechanism to set scoring teams and have those people grouped together in some fashion.

Allow Administrator Comments to be seen by evaluators
When entering in a comment in the Administrator Comment field, I can check a box that allows the comment to be seen by the applicant. I would LOVE a checkbox that allows the comment to be seen by the evaluators as well (particularly staff evaluators). Thanks for your consideration!

Evaluators Viewing Average Score Page
It would benefit if evaluators can view the average score page, like an administrator has access to. Currently each evaluator has to drill into each application to view the average score. And if you have 20-50 applications to review, it is frustrating and time consuming to come up with the average score for each application. Viewing the application Evaluation page listing all applications and their average scoring would be helpful.
