Assigning School and Student ID in Bulk for UA Scholarships
We process around 200 scholarships to around 100 students annually. We love the SLM to CSuite integration, but we feel there is a huge oversight regarding assigning the school and student ID. This all has to be captured individually and manually entered into the payment in CSuite. This was quite an arduous process this year. It was easier to upload it into CSuite as we used to be able to do before SLM.
There was a release on 4/6/22 to implement this for standalone processes ("The School (Payee in SLM) and Student ID will sync between the two systems.") But…

Freeze Profile and/or Fund Name at the top of the page
when working in a fund or profile record it would be really helpful if the name was pinned at the top of the screen so that as you scroll down it is easy to see which record you are working in.

Split donation
A split donation with more than one donation destination is not the same thing as using a profile payment. Donors make gifts, not payments; that's a different process, which requires an invoice, and multiple transactions. We should be able to honor a donor's request to split their gift however they need and keep the records clean.
This idea is not "implemented."
Just today, I had the ability to get as far as a screen that showed the donation, how much of it I applied to one fund, and then I had the option of entering a second fund for the…

Fund Advisor Portal: Ability to sort the Fund Statements
Currently, we cannot sort the order in which the fund statements appear on the individual fund screen or on the Donor Portal. As a result, the fund statements often do not list in date order. This makes it hard to find the latest statement. It would be great if the Fund Statements could be sorted to show the newest fund statement at the top.

Inactive profile should not allow you to process any transaction against it. (Gift or Grant)
When a profile is marked INACTIVE, you should not be able to cut a check or a grant or post a donation. We had a grant check go out in error to an inactive profile. At the very minimum there should be a warning that you are processing on an inactive profile. FIMS did not allow you to have transactions pushed through on an inactive record.

One Log In Across Foundant Platforms
It's pretty frustrating for folks to have to remember all their passwords across C Suite / GLM / SLM / Compass and Idea Lab. Especially when they don't all update on the same schedule. Would be great to have some synching of the platforms.

Docusign Integration
Foundant is considering integrating Docusign with GLM & SLM. Is this under consideration for C Suite as well? We'd love to have this integration capability on the C Suite side too.

Change Fund Group at a Point in Time
For audit purposes, it would be helpful to be able to change a fund group type at a point in time instead of changing all of history. We have memorial funds that come in as "Unrestricted" but turn into restricted scholarship funds (or others). When we change the fund group it changes the data for all of time which makes our ending balances for PY not match beginning balances in terms of audit categories.
Right now we are closing the memorial funds completely and opening a new scholarship fund but this has us lose the donor/donation history for the fund.

Household yearly tax receipt
We would like to see the ability to run yearly tax receipts for donations for a household even if donations were added to individuals within the household separately. It would be nice to have the option to combine donations.

annualized budget percentage on income statement
On the Income Statement budget format, the variance amount and percentage only shows the variance stated in proportion to the current month. My board and I would prefer to see this amount as a percentage of the annualized rather than month to month budget. Can you please add an option for this such as a "budget ann" or "budget ytd"? Selecting the option "this year" will give me the annualized amounts, but there is no way to change the effective date and retain that format as it reverts back to the month over month.

Font issues
The new font is still ******* the eyes when you are in CS for hours a day. The color is okay, but the font itself is hard to look at. And the font used for numbers should be updated to have the same size field for each digit. It is deceiving to look at a list of numbers and not see which one is the largest because all the numbers are not the same size.

stock gift entry
1- Ability to import securities - helpful as some donors contribute 20+ stocks at a time
2 -Auto complete the description of the security (but field should be able to be edited if needed). The database pulls the high / low information so it should also be able to pull the name of the security
3 - Keep the securities listed in the order they are entered. For some reason csuite re-orders (in no particular order) the securities after saving the entry making it difficult to review the stock gift entry

Color code outward facing fields
In an effort to keep us from changing a field that is outward facing PLEASE color code them all a certain color. It is difficult for us to keep track of which fields have an effect on the portals. Having them all a certain color would keep us from changing them unintentionally.

Add Details under Recurring Grants on Donor Portal
On the Donor Portal (Fund Advisor Portal), we like the recent enhancement that allows a Donor to click on an individual Grant Number to see the payment detail. What we really need is the same feature for Recurring Grants, so that when the Donor clicks on the Recurring Grant ID, they see the grants that have been paid thus far as part of the recurring grant. It should also include the next date.

Add a Total Number RSVP/Attending Column to Campaigns
Many of our campaigns are made up of households or organizations that don't include individual profiles so the campaign is not able to give us a true RSVP or Attended count. We are forced to maintain a separate sheet for an accurate head count.

Portal Styling Support with Classes
To ease styling for new features like the recent change that allows Fund Advisors to change their profile contact information and to enable two-factor authentication, it would be helpful to have an identifying class of some sort within the code, or at the very least, a class added to the body or ftcontentcontainer div that tells us what page we're on (so that we can style things within that div differently than on other pages).

Include the type of profile in header (i.e. Individual, Household, Org)
In the gray box where it says "Profile," include the type of profile it is (i.e. individual, household, organization). At first glance, it is sometimes hard to tell if you are looking at an organization or individual -- causing donations to sometimes be attached to the wrong profile. Or update the gray bar to different colors for different profiles.
