  1. Duplicate Search - I need to list organizations by Organization name, when conducting duplicate searches. I think that used to be an option.

  2. For SLM. We use this software to review and approve grants for a public school. If the software could assign a grant number when the request is approved then that number could follow the request all throughout the software and then through the school district. The number would be used from approval, through purchase, through, invoice and then it would all tie together. The automated grant number that would be assigned should then be able to be merged into the grant award email that is sent.

  3. Merge multiple docs to applications: It would be helpful to be able to choose multiple requests and have the option to create a merge doc and save to the request for each one, all at once. This would give the option to create merge docs and save to requests in batches.

  4. The option to add multiple automated emails would significantly improve efficiency. For example, a "report due" automated email is sent to grant recipients 30 days and 7 days before the report is due.

  5. Reposting from

    https://idealab.foundant.com/forums/339786-glm-slm-idea-lab/suggestions/39352042-show-character-count-to-applicants-on-text-boxes#{toggle_previous_statuses}

    Unfortunately, the text boxes do not show a character count while the applicant is filling them in so they are forced to guess and test their content over and over. This becomes frustrating and causes headaches.

    Consistency is key to ease.

  6. Allow for SMS Messaging as another means for contacting applicants. Today's high schools and college students are more apt to monitor and respond to text messages than they are to emails.

  7. When an applicant signs into their dashboard, is it possible to have the access code box appear right away rather than having to click "Apply" at the top of the page first? Our Open process LOI appears on that first page and applicants with an access code are getting confused when they don't see an access code box and they complete an LOI even if they have been given an access code for a particular application.

  8. Can there be a button added to the Reports & Data Sets pages that allows us to return to the dashboard rather than relying on the separate home page window to stay open? Or add the banner with our company logo, Search button, Tools button, etc. at the top of Reports & Data Sets pages? Thanks!

  9. My organization recently implemented Multi Factor Authentication for logging into GLM. Unfortunately, the only option available is to download an authentication app to verify logins. It would be helpful to have other options, such as receiving a code via text message or email, in addition to the authentication app for verification.

  10. Sum Formatting in Tables

    When a table sums a column of amounts i.e. a currency (£), the format of the sum is simply numbers ######. Can the Sum function for the table be formatted to match the formatting of the cells it is adding up e.g. £###,###.##?

  11. With the updated applicant dashboard featuring a card/tile layout, applicants, particularly students, can face usability challenges when they’re eligible for multiple scholarships. For example, if a student qualifies for just six or more scholarships, they have to scroll to view all their opportunities.

    To improve the user experience, especially for applicants managing several grants/opportunities, please consider adding a toggle option for a condensed or list-style view. This view could reduce the size of the cards or display opportunities in a single row-based layout, allowing applicants to see more at once without excessive scrolling.

    This enhancement would make navigating the dashboard…

  12. As a community foundation, we fund mainly around one county in NJ. We often see folks starting a profile in GLM that are clearly way outside of our region. We've had one organization that started a profile with fake information (e.g., 555-5555 phone number, and a fake website etc). Was wondering if there is a way of limiting who is able to start a profile in our system? More specifically, we'd want to give the ability for anyone with a NJ address to start a profile, but anyone outside NJ would need to be approved before they could start a…

  13. Please allow for the ability to upload multiple files to a single upload question.

    Currently, it is only possible to upload one file per question. It would be very helpful and much more effective if the File Upload question type allowed for multiple files to be uploaded to a single upload question, as opposed to needing one file upload question for each upload.

    Alternatively, the option to upload a folder to a file upload question would be another possible remedy.

  14. Would it be possible to allow administrators/grant staff to download application answers without the attachments included? We are sometimes sharing applications with leadership, but having to edit the PDFs to remove attachments like due diligence and audit information is tedious. If we could choose to download the application packet with or without the attachments would be so helpful.

  15. As part of our July 2026 Monthly Release, we introduced a toggle that allows you to preview the new User Search page.

    The new Search allows each user to customize the grid to meet their individual needs -- column selection, order, and size. The column selector includes custom fields from the user registration form.

    We want your input! Please use this thread to share any feedback, suggestions, or questions about the new search page.

  17. Summary rows or columns in tables dont always calculate correctly if cells are left blank. Prepopulating integer, decimal and currency fields with a 0 would increase the accuracy of reports created with summary fields.

    I have attached a image of a section of our zip code table. I have found that not completing all of the cells throws off the summary calculation. I end up finding these errors in our custom reports and have to go back and fill in a zero for the unanswered question to correct the sum.

  18. There are many times when we (as administrators) manually enter a request that did not go through the standard application process (external committees, staff/internally approved requests, etc.). We often don't have all of the information needed to complete all required fields.

    The only workaround we have found is to enter "N/A" or select dummy information on the forms OR create a separate internal process for each grant cycle that may have these type of requests.

    Can the "Skip Required Field Validation" be added to the application and other forms?

  19. In the SLM Eligibility Center, I would like to request a "What Changed" update screen after rerunning eligibility on an applicant. Currently the process just re-runs, and it is up to the user to determine what changes to the application's eligibility occurred. This is particularly problematic if the changes include removing/being un-matched with an opportunity, because the user must then go abandon that opportunity for the student if we do not want them to have the ability to apply without being actually eligible. So it would be helpful if there was a list of changed that popped up after the…

  20. We have 13 affiliates. Right now, we do not allow our affiliate staff to have access to CSuite to update CRM data, but we would LOVE to be able to do that. They all have to use a third party software to do so because we do not allow them direct access. Our concern is with donor privacy and we do not want affiliate staff members to be able to see contacts that have not donated to their affiliate funds. Will it ever be possible to setup affiliates users so they can only see donors that donate to their specific…
