Create a Transaction using the Fund ID instead of Fund Name
Greater Milwaukee would like a feature to create a new donation and new grant with Fund ID number in addition to Fund Name. We have many funds with the same exact name with no way to differentiate. This could mean money is donated to or granted out of the wrong fund.

Promise and Event Tickets
Some donors have committed to attending an event, and we would like the ability to attach event tickets to a promise (with no finance involvement). We cannot use a pledge, as some commitments are paid in various ways and require complex financial processing to adjust and apply payments. Using a promise will enable us to reserve the tickets until payment is applied. This approach will also allow us to present the reserved seats and the remaining balance.

Annual grant letter for an organization - customized merge fields
We would like to create a custom letter that exports all the grant data for an organization in a fiscal year - similar to a donation report for funds.
We are looking at ways to reduce the administrative burden on our grantee partners and one of the things we are looking at is reporting.
Currently in GLM we require our grant recipient organizations to complete a report for every single grant they receive. As some organizations receive over 10 general purposes grants a fiscal year, they have to complete 10 individual reports. To try and relieve this burden, we would like to reduce this so that organizations only need to provide one report for all the general purpose grants they receive. We can then share this with all the funds that have supported them.
To do this, we would like the ability to send each organization an email at the end of the year that lists all the individual grants they have received in that year, along with the name of the fund that provided each grant and the grant description. Ideally this could be emailed to the primary contact of the organization from GLM or CSuite itself.
I have searched both CSuite and GLM and have tried merge templates in GLM (currently the Organization Request Summary table can not be filtered by date). We've also tried exporting data off CSuite and using Mail Merge in Word but that hasn't worked either.
Even if there is a work around that I haven't thought of... Please help!!

Link opportunity to a pledge
It would a great addition to the system if we were able to link pledges to opportunities to help track engagement and follow through.

General Ledger Report
I just completed my first audit using CSuite. My auditors missed having a GL report that listed all transactions by account with a beginning balance and total for each account, with the overall GL total at the end of the report.
To do this in CSuite, I had to run a GL report for each account as running the GL report for the entire FY did not have a beginning balance - even though it could be sorted by account and formulas added for account sub-totals once exported into Excel.

Pledge Section/Table in the Fund Statement Template
Please include a Pledge section/table in the fund statement template. Currently, there are only two fields in the entire fund statement fields list that are related to pledges and they only exist in the donations section/table.
We are requesting that a Pledge section/table be added to the fund statement template and available fields. Fields like the Pledge Balance, Pledge Anonymity, Pledge Status, Pledge Description, Pledge Total, etc.
Overall, a section related to just pledges would give our fund holders better insight into the pledges for the fund and what they can expect to be receiving.

Unique URLs to Easily Share Reports
It would be great to be able to email a URL link for a Report, so Users can quickly access shared reports, rather than having to tell them the report name and hope they find it on their own. Currently URL for all reports is: https://columbusfdn.fcsuite.com/erp/report/display
I know there is functionality to email reports, but those don't have live links to profiles, so that is less ideal for many projects and processes.

Check register to include all check numbers, even "combined' checks
The check register needs to include all check numbers, even "combined' checks. If there are multiple distributions to one recipient, the field is left blank. The check number should print, even if there are multiple of the same check numbers.

Opportunity should show on Fund Profile
When there is an opportunity that is attached to a fund, it would be great if the opportunity showed up on the relationships tab of the fund, just like for individual profiles.

Export Balance Swap
We would love the ability to export the balance swap screen to Excel. We have historically printed the potential swaps, evaluated, and then come back in to accept/deny the swaps but would love if we can export to Excel.

Balance Sheet Liabilities List Order
Traditionally in financial statements, long-term liabilities are listed after current liabilities. Currently, it's the opposite, long-term liabilities are listed before other liabilities.

Budget Reporting
Greater Milwaukee Foundation would like a more finance-oriented approach to financial statements and variances. Specifically, when looking that the budget variances on the Income Statement/Budget Column option, the revenue section is correct in that the variance is 'actual minus budget'. However, the expense section is backwards, and should be 'budget minus actual'. We currently have to edit this in excel.

Giving Hub Customization - Radio Buttons
It would be great to have Giving Hub customizations (radio buttons for instance), which can be linked to parts of the donation approval/recording process on the Finance side of the transaction.
For instance, a radio button for Endowed/Spendable that allows donors desiring for a donation to be flowed through to their Spendable balance, which is linked to the Spendable checkbox in the transaction record.
An option to split the donation between Endowed and Spendable would be great too.

Content area for Interest Type on New Portal
When you select Interest Types on the new portal, there is not a content header for this section available to help fund advisors know what to do.
You can see in the attached screenshot that without a content block explaining that the user should select “Edit Information” to add their interest types, it is not clear what they should do.
Alternatively, what might be helpful is if you added something below Interest Types to explain that no interest types have yet been assigned to the profile. For example, if you displayed “None selected” this might give the user a hint that there should be choices there

Custom Sort Order for Checks & Letters
It would be very helpful if we we could customize the order in which checks and check letters were sorted. We would like to be able to sort by the Grant Letter template. We have eight difficult templates that involve multiple constituencies and a number of letters. If they were grouped, we could process each type all at once which would reduce the opportunity for errors when processing the mailing.

mobile app
Has Foundant explored the idea of creating their own mobile app for CSuite? I see a lot of requests related to making content more mobile friendly and responsive. I know you are revamping the donation pages with this in mind. But what about if there are staff members who could be helped by having a true mobile app with limited functionality? I'd bet there are many that have to be in the field meeting with folks for at least part of their day, and they would find great benefit in being able to quickly look up profiles, view grant and donation history, and add notes, without having to navigate the mobile browser.

Opening a DAF
Currently we use DocuSign to open a DAF and email. Most financial institutions that have a DAF product can be opened online.
Can a process similar to GLM/SLM be used to open a DAF especially since DocuSign is being integrated. This would be helpful for opening all types of new funds.8 votes -
Enhance Budgeting Tools - Scenarios, Forecasts
It would be so helpful to bring some enhanced budgeting tools into CSuite.
Currently, only one Budget is allowed per fiscal year as far as I can tell. Having the ability to populate and maintain different budget "scenarios" for each fiscal year would be amazing. The adjustment to Projected Budget seems quite limited and we are not able to "calendarize" the total adjustment or have multiple versions. With this the idea would be to apply a filter to select which "scenario" we are opting to look at for a given report with budget involved and ensure our headers reflect that filter option as with other filters.
Further, to support the development of budget scenarios or forecasts it would extremely useful to have a simple budget or forecast "builder" that would allow us to copy our initial Budget, copy over actuals for selected months YTD and update the remaining months etc. while monitoring the revised forecast vs the another budget scenario. With this it would be also key to start to have some report options for scenario comps as well. Right now all scenario analysis and forecasting has to be done outside of CSuite and in our case quite manually and in excel.
