  1. Currently, journal entries are displayed sorted by debit and credit values, which makes it difficult to review and approve entries efficiently.

    When comparing entries against the entry spreadsheet, which lists them in the order of journal entry ID, the current sorting method disrupts the sequence and increases the likelihood of oversight or error. This misalignment between the system view and the entry format complicates the review process and slows down approvals.

    Requested Change:
    Please update the journal entry review interface to list entries by journal entry ID by default, rather than by debit/credit values. Alternatively, providing a sorting option that…

  2. We have many funds with both spouses as Fund Advisors, neither should be "primary" but C Suite forces one to be primary and it can't be unchecked. Please allow the option not to have a primary Fund Advisor. We don't want either to be primary but C Suite doesn't give us the option to remove the primary tag.

    Please see this previous Idea Lab post with many votes that requested the same thing but Foundant's response was that the primary tag could just be moved to another Fund Advisor. That response does not address the need. https://idealab.foundant.com/forums/597718-communitysuite-idea-lab/suggestions/45764248-would-like-ability-to-change-fund-advisor-to-not-p

  3. When Household Giving is enabled in the Giving Hub, donors have the option to give as a household by selecting a radio button and entering household information.

    However, donors often do not know how to properly format the household name, which can lead to:
    -Duplicate households
    -Inconsistent naming conventions
    -Data cleanliness challenges for staff

    Suggested Enhancement:

    Provide the ability to enforce or guide a standardized household naming format during entry

    Examples of best practice formats:
    -Last, First and First
    -Last, First and Last, First (for different last names)

    Possible Solutions:
    -Add format guidance text near the input field
    -Allow admins…

  4. It would be extremely helpful to be able to use the custom Tasks report for tasks not connected to an opportunity. It seems strange to me that we have the ability in CSuite to link tasks to Donors, to Funds, to Gifts, etc., and then are not able to report out on the details of those Tasks. I know we are not alone in using Tasks outside of tracking Opportunity Tasks. Using tasks has become a way for us to manage our workflows internally across departments, so would like to see more robust reporting that matches the existing functionality.

  5. We push people to the Portal a lot, but right now we really don’t have a good way to see how often people are actually logging in.

    We can’t easily tell who’s active, who hasn’t logged in for a while, or whether people are using the Portal the way we hope they are. Without that info, it’s hard to know what’s working, where users might be getting stuck, or how engaged our fund advisors and other users really are.

    It would be incredibly helpful if C-Suite could make basic login details—like last login date, how many times someone has logged…

  6. Thank you for the updates to the Add Donation page. I wanted to share a few observations that might help improve the user experience:

    The Process button currently appears in the middle of the page, which can feel awkward unless you’re on a larger monitor.

    Since most of our gifts come via check, the workflow for entering check donations could be more intuitive. After selecting “Check,” the next section is Tributes, and the Check Number field appears much further down. On smaller screens, this makes the page feel cramped, while on larger screens, it feels overly spread out and difficult…

  7. Please update the Voucher Refund process and the ability to edit fields. Currently when we process a refund on a Voucher, the word “Refund” is in the Description field and we are not able to update any other fields should we want to. It would be helpful if it either copied over the original description and included the word “refund” within that copied description OR if we had the ability to update it ourselves so we could reflect what the refund entailed. We find that when we look at the transaction through the GL lens, we must dig into what…

  8. When calculating the annual distributions for a fund, the system allows you to edit the amounts Csuite is calculating before review and posting. We often adjust the amounts for scholarship funds, new funds, etc. It would be helpful if the system would allow you to see an adjusted total before selecting review or an edit selection after review is selected. Lack of this ability causes much rework as errors happen and the entire process has to be redone.

  9. Problem Statement:
    Currently, the system requires MFA at every login, regardless of the device or session context. While secure, this "one-size-fits-all" approach is causing significant MFA fatigue among users and disrupting workflows on trusted, managed devices.

    Proposed Enhancement:
    I am requesting the implementation of more granular MFA controls that allow for a better balance between security and user experience. Specifically, I propose adding the following features:
    "Remember This Device" Option:
    Allow users to opt-in to a trusted device status (e.g., for 14 or 30 days). This would suppress MFA prompts for subsequent logins on that specific browser/device until the duration…

  10. The short description and long description of a grant request on the catalog is not differentiated in any way. This looks a bit messy to the donor who may only want to glance at the short descriptions as opposed to reading the entire long description for each grant request. It would be very beneficial if there was a separation between the short description and the long description such as a line, a larger space, or even just bolding the short description and not bolding the long one.

  11. It would really be helpful if Tribute was an available field in the Donation Content area, Online Donation Email Body. We had a case where a series of online donations were made to a fund, all with the same description and amount, but honoring different people each time. What the fund advisor receives are multiple emails, all looking identical, since the Tribute field isn’t available to show why they are different. If we could add the Tribute field to the content area this would be much clearer for the fund advisors.

  12. Currently, the Print Envelope feature only generates PDFs. Having the ability to download envelopes as a Word document would be extremely helpful, as envelopes often need minor edits before printing. With the current PDF format, the template formatting frequently shifts and addresses spill onto a second page, making them difficult—or impossible—to edit and print accurately. 
     
    Since Donation Receipts already include a Word download option, it seems this functionality may already exist on the development side and could potentially be extended to envelopes as well. Adding a Word option would provide much-needed flexibility and significantly improve usability.

  13. We were in hopes of streamlining our communication with our payees when an ACH payment was processed. We enabled the check content but were disappointed when we tested the process that an automatic pdf is created that lists what Fund the payment is coming from. We would like the pdf to be an option that can be turned off OR have an option to not have the Fund shown on the pdf.

  14. Thank you for creating the Foundant for Outlook add-in with the "add note to CSuite" feature! I would love to see the "add note" function expand to include profile Opportunities. We encourage our staff to use the opportunities area to document many types of communications, so it would be great for us to have the option to use the Outlook add-in to create a note within an existing profile opportunity when an email is sent or received (maybe this could be an option nested under the existing profile search?).

  15. Allow Potential Duplicates to be separated by type of profile: for example separate potential duplicate org profiles from potential duplicate individual profiles. In the screenshot included, you'll see individuals and orgs are in the same list.

  16. The description field for a fund beneficiary grantee has a limit around 250 characters. This is where we enter the grant purpose for these organizations so they understand how to use the grant. We have several funds with purpose language that is much longer than 250 characters. It would be helpful to expand this field to have an unlimited character limit.

  17. Currently fund advisors can edit the date and number of cycles of recurring grants through the portal, but not the amount, which is the most common change fund advisors make to recurring grants. Thus the amount should be made editable.

  18. There should be a way to customize the email subject line and body in the portal. We have a new portal user who has reached out to us about editing some of the wording as it is confusing to the user and I agree. The specific instance is the email that the user receives after submitting a grant request and the subject line is "Request Confirmation". To the user, it sounds like they need to take action, when it should say something like "We’ve Received Your Grant Request" or "Thanks for Submitting Your Grant Request". Same with the body of…

  19. There is a workflow that will give the fund advisor access to view grant documents that are shared with them.

    When the grant is created from a request, you can share the uploaded file with the advisor by marking the document as Shared. Once it’s shared at the grant level, the fund advisor will be able to see and open that file when they pull up the grant in the portal.

    This same functionality is needed for Vouchers. The advisor submits the voucher with the voucher request but then can no longer see the documentation once it becomes a voucher.

  20. I would really like the Additional Information section to come BEFORE the Tribute Information section.

    And I would like the "Needs tax receipt" to be right under or above the "Receipt Template". Not all the way down the page by itself.

    We use the Additional Information section on EVERY gift and only use the Tribute Information section on a few gifts.
