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.

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?

Link Sharing Errors
When sharing a link to an LOI, Application, or Follow Up with someone on your team to easily access, the link often produces an error message, especially when the team member has another tab open to the Foundant login page. We would appreciate being able to share links to data within the platform without those links resulting in errors.

Increase number of columns in tables
To effectively use Tables as a shared question in a Follow Up (as stated in documentation, very helpful for Budget and ongoing grantee progress statements) - being limited to only 5 columns does not allow for multi-year grants especially
2 votesThank you for this feedback. We currently have the limitation to making sure tables easily appear on screens and print packers but are continuing to evaluate ways to expand this functionality.

Indicator of which follow up you're viewing under a request
It would be helpful when reviewing follow ups under a request to be able to tell which follow up you're currently viewing. We have to toggle between follow up sometimes during our review process, and the questions within the forms are mostly the same, the follow ups are tagged for the year it is to be submitted, though as you toggle back and forth it's hard to identify under which follow up you're under to provide approval/recommendations.

Differentiate between applicant-abandoned and administrator-abandoned applications
I would like to see the ability to run a report that differentiates between applications that are applicant-abandoned vs. admin-abandoned. Use case: We had to close several opportunities after they opened. Students who had already applied (or had applications in-progress) were notified, and their applications were abandoned (admin-abandoned). In some cases, a student had abandoned an application prior, and it would be helpful for a report to show whether the abandon was initiated by the applicant or by an admin.

Star Grant Reports for Sharing
I would love a way to flag or star specific grant reports with high-quality content/photos for sharing out. We are working on sharing more of our grantee success stories and it would be great to save specific reports we want to share later on, potentially with the ability to create a report of these follow ups so we can find them easily.

follow up views
Please provide the option to have the Process name appear in the follow-up view. Currently we have the same Follow-up form appearing from three different processes but have no idea which process each one is related to. This is only going to become a bigger issue as time goes by.

GLM Linkage to QuickBooks for Grantee Organizations
There needs to be a way to link GLM Organizations to QB Online or Desktop via Other rather than Vendor. Vendor linkage is fine for true vendors who have provided a good or service, but the IRS requires that grantors receive no goods or services from their grantees. This is a legal definition. Thus, you are mixing two distinct groups whom a grantor pays.

Evaluator view grid
I heard from an Evaluator who was frustrated with the view of a grid/table on his evaluator view. As he was working in the side-by-side (evaluator/application) view, he coudln't see any of the content of the (in this case) Student Activities grid. There was content in boxes that he wanted to see but the dropdown carrot took up most of the space and he couldn't read the student replies.
Getting rid of the carrots would probably help but just in general, some way to better view the contents of a grid format answer would be wonderful.

"Close Request" button
The "close request" button has caused confusion for our staff. It's being clicked accidentally. As you go through the scholarship workflow, you often click the buttons in the bottom right corner. The Close Request button is located in the bottom right, but is not a button we want clicked. I also think using the word Closed is not the right word to use. Could the button be moved and the name changed to indicate something more drastic? "Close" can sound like you are just finishing this particular step in the process. Thank you!

Make Advance Option tab always visible for Applicant Visibility changes
Ability to view the "Advanced Options" tab at any stages in SLM. Currently only when there are no follow ups assigned can you make changes to the visibility of the request which has been an issue for us.

redirect to main page after password reset
Redirect to login page after password reset.
Can you please have the system automatically redirct to the main login page after a password reset has been completed? This seems like an easy fix and should be automatic but currently users have to then go back in and locate the login page after they just reset their password.
In a perfect world, we could also have the system automatically send folks a password reset when adding new users to an organization vs. having to tell them to go reset themselves or manually having to send them an email reset link.

visibility of forms
We use a two-step evaluation process which involves two different groups of evaluators, one for each step. Once the first group evaluates the LOI we would like to restrict the visibility of that form from the second group of evaluators.
Right now that requires going into each question and table row or column and updating the visibility, a very time-consuming and tedious job, between the two evaluation phases.
It would be great if we could alter the visibility at the form level, overriding field by field visibility settings. That would allow us to basically turn the LOI form off after…

SLM: customize Evaluator dashboard view by Process
We have a scholarship with a 2-step evaluation process. It would be great if we could customize the dashboard view of Evaluators to show not just the score, but Evaluator responses to one of the custom questions. Our committee is sophisticated enough that they are comfortable changing the sort order on the available columns, and adding an additional column to show an additional assessment question would provide them with more flexibility.

Change Check # to Payment # in Installments
Since COVID, most foundations have moved away from paper checks to ACH payments. It would be helpful to change the name of the field in Installments/Make a Payment from Check Number to Payment Number.

More detailed budget planning tool, including a provisional budget option
I would love to have access to a dynamic budget planning tool, that allow me to have a global budget for my fiscal year, with various funding streams options AND with a provisional budget option that would take into account the proposed amount we enter in yet-to-be approved requests.
For the time being, I use an Excel file to achieve this, which is time consuming and error-prone. This option would save so much time!

Shared Documents in GLM by Process
I'm reposting this since it was first submitted a few years ago and it is still an issue for us. It would be very beneficial to allow Shared Documents to be uploaded per Process. Currently if you upload shared documents, all board members in other processes can also see anything that is uploaded. We are unable to use this for our committees for this reason and I have to e-mail the documents versus the board members being able to review them in Foundant.

Hide Score Column on the Evaluator Dashboard
We definitely need the ability to add at least three custom columns - 2 is just too few. But while we are limited in the number of columns we can add, it is heartbreaking to have a precious Evaluator column wasted on a system column we don't use. Additionally, because this particular column is there we can't use the Scoring question type, because it will populate this columns with numbers that won't mean anything to our Evaluators and will confuse them. We rank on a 1 through 4 scale with 1 the highest and 4 the lowest - only the…
