Process building
I'd love to have a side by side feature in the create process area, meaning it would be good to be able to also edit any email templates that are needed (or forms) within a process, but within the same screen. I don't know if this could be done via a pop up window, or if it could be the side by side view (similar to what an evaluator would have), but I'd love to not have to add a second open tab or have to get out of a process any time I need to go update or add…

Rich Text Experience for Applicants
Rich Text improvement ... please allow hyperlinks/URLs to be added by applicants in their text area responses. We would like applicants to show us where and how they are recognizing the Foundation for funding. By allowing them to include hyperlinks in their answers it would give easy access to the Trustees to view.

Big Boys vs Foundant: or - Why Delete button better in RED
The red Delete button is often considered better for critical actions like "delete" for the following reasons:
Color Association with Danger:
Red is universally recognized as a warning or danger color. It draws attention to the gravity of the action, such as permanently deleting an item, which may not be reversible.
This can prevent accidental clicks by making users pause and reconsider their decision.
Increased Visibility:
Red contrasts strongly with most user interface backgrounds, making it highly visible and easily distinguishable.
This ensures users notice the button, especially in high-stakes actions like deletion.
Emphasizing Criticality:
Using red communicates the critical…

amostue@carpenter-foundation.org
While chatting with support@foundant.com they suggested I submit a request to be able to customize the date when manually entering a historic application because unfortunately it shows today's date for the date of submission and I want it to show a date from years ago.
We have an applicant that last applied in the mid 90s and is applying again. We don't have their historical application in Foundant but we have the hard copy file. I added the historical application to the Request History tab and scanned in the old application but it doesn't give me the option to put…

Include Applicant Field to Add Third Party Name with the Email Address:
Include Applicant Field to Add Third Party Name with the Email Address:
To help us keep track of Third Party Recommendations and contact those persons if needed, it would be helpful to have a field where the applicant enters the name of the person that they are entering the email for when initializing a Third Party Request. We've added a name field to the Third Party form portion that we can control, but that doesn't help us in the pre-deadline portion of our process. Thanks for your consideration!

It would be helpful to be able select "Hide Amounts" under Bulk Edit Funds feature.
It would be helpful to be able select "Hide Amounts" under Bulk Edit Funds feature. You can select "Hide Memorial Amounts" and "Show History on Portal", but you cannot make a bulk edit for "Hide Amounts". Thank you!

GLM CommunitySuite Questions: Add Grant Type
It would be incredibly beneficial if GLM included a CommunitySuite question type that allows users to directly select options from the "Grant Type" dropdown list in CommunitySuite.
Currently, we list this question in our GLM applications, and our Grant Manager manually selects the grant type. However, this information isn't automatically linked to CommunitySuite, requiring our Financial Manager to also go into CSuite and designate the 'Grant Type' for each grant processed.2 votes -
Make collapsing groups optional/a setting
Not sure if this should be form building or reviewing, but the default now when editing or reviewing the UA and other processes is when you open one question group, the other collapses. I would like to ability to have multiple or as many question groups open as I want at the same time, in case I'm trying to review items/questions between them. I understand some people may want to only see one at a time, so making this a setting would give admins an option to decide which way they prefer.

Shared Question Across Forms
Currently only questions that exist on the Eligibility, LOI, and Application forms within a process can be added as a Shared Question to the Evaluation, Decision, and Follow Up forms. We would like the ability to add a Shared Question to ANY form within a given process no matter what form it was originally added to.
For example, if we add a "Reasons for Decline" field to an Evaluation form, we'd like to be able to pull that same field in as a Shared Question to a Decisions form.

Committee Names in Reporting
We need the ability to pull committee name in reporting. Each year our team needs to verify with external committee managers who is participating on their committee in the coming year. Since these individuals are volunteers, they often change. Right now, we can't run a report to match users names and emails to assigned committee.

Students using Copy Process are bringing over admin answers
We have renewable scholarships and ask the students to fill out a shortened version of the application for their renewal award. We just had a student fill out their shortened renewal application, but when I went to review it, there were internal admin-only questions that were already answered! I double checked the process and they are listed as internal so the student shouldn't have been able to see those questions so how was he able to answer them?
It turns out the student used the Copy Process feature to copy answers from his original application to help him fill out…

data validation
I wish i had a way to confirm existing vendor ids that are hand entered. If my grant managers make a mistake here, the wrong people get paid.
I looked at using a branching question. But there is no way to see if the answer to Q1 matches the answer to Q2...
In my form it's set up as:
Does your school have an existing THR Vendor ID? (Y/N)
Branch Group: Yes
Enter school's THR vendor ID: __________ (integer, limited to 15 chars)
Confirm school's THR vendor ID: _________ (integer, limited to 15 chars)I want the next section to…

Returned Checks From the Bank
Returned Checks. When a check is returned due to insufficient funds, etc. it would be great if there is a feature that allows the original bank deposit to show the original amount of the deposit but allows an individual check to be returned so that the transaction matches what happens on your bank statement. Also, when these transactions cross months, the reconciliation isn't as straightforward.

Closed Evaluation Custom Columns for Evaluators
Currently we can add two custom columns to the Your Evaluations tab for our evaluators, but when the evaluations are closed and we allow our evaluators to see all the closed evaluations prior to our Board meeting, there is no way to add custom columns on that page. We do not review the grant applications by alpa order of the organization or project name. We assign grant numbers and will review the grants in that order. When we get to our meeting, I have to export and create a spreadsheet for our evaluator trustees to use to follow along with…

User Registration
We would greatly appreciate a revamp of the new user registration. Currently, we have a lot of new users at existing organizations in our system creating duplicate organization accounts because of the way the registration ties organizations and users together. We need a way for a new user to be able to register themselves, and then either select their organization and be approved by an admin, or allow an administrator to send a quick invite link to the new user where the organization is already selected for them.
This would cut down on the amount of time internal staff spend…

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!
15 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

Internal follow-ups viewable by applicant?
In line with Trust-Based Philanthropy, more and more foundations are completing verbal reporting with grantees, where the foundation staff completes the written follow-up form based on a conversation with a grantee. We have been doing this as an internal follow-up form, but would like the option for the grantee to view what we've typed into the form and confirm that it is accurate and complete before submitting the report and marking it as complete. Other than downloading each follow-up form packet as a PDF and emailing it to them for their manual feedback, is there a way to either:
