Email to Admin in Evaluation Stage
It would be nice if we could have a notification to administrators when an evaluator has completed their evaluations so you know to move to the next step.

Process Manager
In the process manager, there is currently 2 buckets for processes to live:
-Available
-ArchiveWe'd like to see a third option for processes to live for historical management:
-Available/Active
-Unavailable/Inactive
-Archive/HistoricalWe have processes that have gone through several updates over time. It would be nice to keep what we need in Available/Active and Unavailable/Inactive buckets but older version in Archive/Historical that are not so forward facing. Not available on the immediate search area/filter area. A place for historical process to go and live instead of deleting or saving a PDF version on our internal drives.

Ability to link incoming e-mails directly to a request/organization
In order to facilitate the archival of correspondance linked to an organization or a request, we try to always send e-mails directrly from Foundant (using the "Send (no template)" option.
However, the responses come to our Outlook inbox and we have to save them somewhere in order to upload them in the Document section of the organization or request. It takes time and it does not allow us to view all correspondance in one place (e-mail history).
There is a lot of back and forth with applicants and grantees, so that would be very useful!
8 votesWe are continuing to understand the needs and workflows for emails that need to come back into the system.
What providers are people using?
Are there emails other than responses to system messages that need to live in the system?
If an email was sent in relation to a request, example for submitted, where would you want to view that email from?
Any thoughts are very helpful

Follow-up Due Dates Shareable in Other Follow-ups
It would be great to allow Follow-up Due Dates to be shared within Decision forms or future follow-ups. For example, within our Decision process and within our Grant Agreements (follow 1), we mention that grantees will need to complete a Final Report (follow-up 2). We would like to auto-populate the Due Date of the follow-up 2 in both the Decision process and the Grant Agreement so that grantees can sign-off that they acknowledge and commit to the final report. Being able to auto-populate this field based on system due-dates would allow for efficiency as well as minimize human error. This…

Multiple Automatic Reminders for Follow-Ups
It would be great if GLM could send multiple automatic reminders to grantees about follow-up due dates. We've found it helpful to give grantees a 30-day reminder about a follow-up, but would love it if GLM could send another automatic email a few days before the due date as well to make tracking easier for our grants administrator.

Add "Abandoned" requests as its own category on the dashboard
During a grant cycle, we will have a dozen or so requests that are abandoned. It would be helpful to have a category on the dashboard to show the number from that process that were abandoned just the same as you can see approved or denied.

Additional options for viewing uploaded documents
In our organization, we ask for applicants to self-report information and to also provide an uploaded document or image that shows proof of what has been entered. In the current configuration, the document viewer window is stationary and does not allow administrators to move the viewer to the side in a way that allows them to also view the application in a side-by-side format. Below is a copy of what I see that needs to be relocated while remaining visible. Is this movement able to be made possible either by opening docs in a new tab or by moving the…

Application Data to Sandbox
Would like to be able to copy real application data to Sandbox for testing rather than having to recreate application data in Sandbox. Implementing a new rubric for evaluating and spent a bit of time entering application data to test new rubric. Thanks!

Evaluator score columns needed
We need side-by-side columns for our evaluators so that they can see how their individual application score compares to the group of evaluators' average score. Only the person in the admin role can see the average group score. And, if the admin is also an evaluator, things get messy quickly in a meeting. An admin/evaluator can never see both their individual score column and the average score column without flipping between roles. Having the ability to see individual scores and average scores on ONE PAGE in side-by-side columns will greatly help with our evaluation meetings and enable us to make…

Close Applications
We would like the ability to 'Close' an application, rather than 'abandon' or 'deny'. We leverage GLM to have a General Inquiry, which we then copy applications to different processes depending on a conversation with the applicant. Once we're done - not moving forward through the system, it causes confusion for the applicant to see the original as denied/abandoned.

rearrange forms in Process Manger
It would be wonderful if we could rearrange the forms in Process Manager to have them alphabetical or whatever arrangement makes most sense for each user

SLM - Limited Eligibility Quiz Information using Reports
You can currently pull specific question responses for "Passed" eligibility quizzes using the Foundant reporting system (by selecting Approved on pre-filters). However, you cannot pull responses, emails, etc. for those that have "Failed". We would like to analyze those answers, retrieve contact information and other basic functions using Reports for additional follow-up.

Searching for a former name of an orgnization - not DBA
Here is a common scenario. An org is fiscally sponsored by a church and then gets their own 501c3 status and changes their name. In foundant, we would update the org name to say (formerly XYZ Church). When evaluators see the church name - they often ask whether services are limited to members of that church even when the org has nothing to do with the church (e.g., a food bank). To remove any confusion for evaluators - I tried adding the church name to the Sort Name, but when I tried to do a search for the church -…

Numeric Grant Numbers
Can Foundant add numeric grant numbers that auto-counts grants in a process?
For example, we support research projects and grantees need to acknowledge it in the research paper with something to the effect of "We acknowledge financial support from "Foundation Name" under grant # ("Foundation Acronym"-***) at the end of the paper. The grant number allows for tracking where we would enter in the grant number in something like Google Scholar and see how many papers have been published through it.
Right now, there are no unique identifiers for Grants to track externally.

Allow evaluators to track the amount of money they have spent as they are going through applications
We have had several evaluators ask for there to be a way to see the amount of money they have recommended be allocated in total as they are going through all of the applications they have been assigned. As we give them a budget for each process, this would be helpful in seeing how close they are getting to that budget.

follow
We recently implemented a quarterly report for one of our grants - it would be great if there was a way to assign the same follow up more than once rather than creating a copy of the report for each quarter.

Allow e-mails to be delayed or scheduled in advance
We use manual e-mails for our responses to various requests and we sometimes process these outside office hours. We would like to be able to schedule manual e-mails for a later time or date.

Make CSuite Grant ID# visible to Applicants, and add to merge field options
We currently use the CSuite Grant ID# for any GLM-synced grants as an identifier for award agreements. Would be helpful to have that number appear in the Applicant portal for reference. Would also be helpful to have a merge field so that we can add the CSuite Grant ID to letter/email templates.

Integrate bill pay to payment tracking
We would love to be able to integrate our bill pay system with GLM so it will automatically update who we have paid after a check run.
4 votesHey All,
If people are willing to share their Bill pay solutions that will help us investigate integrations.
