  1. I understand that there is a feature that allows follow ups to be submitted either sequentially or in any order. This is helpful if you want all follow ups to follow the same rules. However, we need most of our follow ups to be submitted sequentially, and then just a couple of them to be able to be submitted at any time.

    We have deadlines for each of our follow ups, but applicants are welcome to submit certain follow ups with a later deadline (i.e. match documentation) before the others (a final grant report, for example, which we do 3…

  2. The "applied (with check mark)" is confusing our grantees. Grantees can make multiple applications to the same process. They have no idea that "Applied" means they have the correct application submitted. Can you change "Applied" to "Apply". The following page warns them of duplicates anyway. Why confuse things.

  3. Every other form builder application allows you to add an "Other: _____" text box at the end of Checkbox questions. It's a simple way to catch exceptions that you're not thinking of.

  4. It would be helpful for SLM to include a spelling/grammar check tool within the scholarship applications for students to use when writing their essays or short answer responses. I know that some internet browsers have a spell check included, but it might be helpful from the student side to have a more comprehensive tool to help with spelling, grammar, etc. as they write their responses.

  5. The Request section of the SLM new user summary is difficult to navigate. When multiple scholarships are listed, it would be helpful if awarded scholarships appeared at the top.

  6. We utilize several internal grant processes in GLM to account for monies flowing from one of our funds to another fund within our organization. We recently realized that syncing these grants from GLM to CSuite only allows for an external grant to be created in CSuite. It would be great to allow for creation of INTERNAL Grants when synced with CSuite so we can designate Source Fund and Destination Fund.

    We want to use the sync functionality and originate ALL grants from GLM.

  8. Building review committees is time consuming and burdensome. Our list of 130+ volunteer committee participants changes annually. It takes MANY hours to select each existing committee in the universe, review and compare to an existing list for the changes and individually add new members, delete old ones, and build new profiles for net new participant. Building new profiles is also challenging since it can't be done on the committee building page so one needs to navigate to a separate window taking the steps to build a new profile and assign a password (yet another extra step).

    It would save many…

  9. It would be helpful to have the applicant's name appear on the third-party response form. Currently, it shows the applicant's name on the dashboard, but when the third party clicks on Start to submit the information it only shows the "process" or "award" name. Having the student's name appear at the top of the form would help responders keep track of the student they are working on.

    Some of our third parties complete a LOT of responses and I've heard from many of them that this would be really helpful.

  10. Please add the custom content back to the new and improved applicant dashboard. On the old dashboard, we included instructions on filling out the application, contact information for our Foundation, and links to trainings. This is not currently possible with the updated version of the applicant dashboard.

  11. We would love a log for all activity on follow-up forms, so we can see which edits were made and when, and whether edits were made by the applicant or program officer.

  12. It would be great if we could have 'other' as an option for a radio question that gives you (the builder) the choice to automatically produce a text box for applicants to input data around their selection. Currently you have to build 'other' into the question and then build a branched question group, which can not only get messy, but can make the application flow feel very disjointed, depending on the build.

  14. We should be able to receive an automatic email from our evaluators once they have completed an evaluation. This would be a time-saving program enhancement for scholarship management.

  15. As the evaluation fields cannot be pulled into merge templates, we have built our due diligence processes into an internal-only section of the application form. As a result, this means that the application is extremely long, and we are needing to continuously scroll up and down to review the required information. It would be much better if we could have a side-by-side view, such as you get with the evaluation stage.
    We could build the due diligence into the evaluator 1 stage to do this, but none of the fields could then be included in our merge templates. If these…

  16. The logo sizing on the mobile login pages for GLM/SLM seems to be synced to the sizing on a web browser. This can make the logo look overly large and not be uniform with the text fields and text on the login page. Custom sizing would be great!

  17. Given the way technology has grown over the years, is there a way to integrate Outlook email with Foundant email so that when an email is received, it will automatically show up in Outlook, and when we respond to an email, it will show up in the appropriate applicant file in Foundant?

  18. It would be helpful for me if the system could assign a control number as applications are submitted. Often I use the reports for blind reviews and while I can hide the applicant information it would be best to have a reference number or control number to use instead of identifying the application by title as that is often a cumbersome way to identify/cross reference an entry.

  19. Consider adding the default (earnings) balance to the face of the fund record, at the top with the rest of the balances. Working in Finance, I have gotten questions about why the fund balance is different from the principal and other similar inquiries. The data exists and the account exists, so it should be easily implemented.

  20. Running reports is too complicating. It would be great to have an easier user interface for running reports / saving reports / even automatically emailing reports on a pre-set frequency.

    Have a standard batch of already created reports for the most commonly run reports where you can easily adjust a few parameters/filters like process, date range, funding category, etc..

    But also keep the ability to customize a report if a standard report does not give you the information you require.
