  1. When adding a filter for profiles, the very long list is not alphabetical. Thus it is hard to search. It would be a lot easier if the list was alphabetical. It is below:

  2. Currently, it appears that we can only provide monthly tax receipts for recurring gifts. If the donor requests a yearly receipt for their recurring gifts there doesn't appear to be an easy "flag" letting us know who has indicated this preference. It would be nice if there was a mechanism within recurring gifts that tracks who wants a yearly receipt of their recurring gift rather than a new receipt every time a recurring gift is processed. The less we rely on an employee to remember to do tasks, the more efficient we can become.

  3. Often when Foundant support is unable to help with a situation due to product limitations, they'll suggest that I submit it to the Idea Lab. I understand that I have a vested interest and want to see the product improve, but sometimes I'm in a state of doing my best to get work completed. I don't always have time to log into the Idea Lab, search to see if the idea is already out there, then, if it's not re-explain my situation in a new Idea Lab post.

    I wonder if Foundant support might develop a mechanism where, when…

  4. Would it be possible to be able to add as an option to include task type notes (the ones that you can fill in when completing a task) in the customized task reports? There is no other way to search/view them, so you wouldn't necessarily know there is a note attached.

  5. We have just gone into our second year using CSuite and are ready to take a hard look at Permissions. We are finding we would rather have 'departmental' user groups than just the default distinction between Accounting and Staff that was set up at implementation. We have just been granting specific permissions on the fly, as staff run into tasks they are unable to complete, and would like to re-establish a controlled structure.

    We are running into a few hurdles as we try to approach this project, specifically:

    1: there aren't any good definitions on WHAT each permission actually does…

    Here is a link to a help article which lists the description of each permission:  

    https://support.foundant.com/hc/en-us/articles/4447782019351-Detailed-Permissions


    There are several custom reports that should help you review the permission settings in your site.  


    • Group - will give you a list of groups
    • Group Action - will give you a list groups along with the advanced action for each group.  The report can be grouped by the object, then sorted by the group name to review a site's permissions
    • User Action - will give you a list of Users and the permissions that they have access to.  The report can be grouped by employee then sorted by object.  
    • User Group - will give you a list of employees and the group they have been assigned to.  The report can be grouped by group name to easily review the users assigned to each group.
  6. Zapier lets you connect to 2,000+ other web services. Automated connections called Zaps, set up in minutes with no coding, can automate your day-to-day tasks and build workflows between apps that otherwise wouldn't be possible. In particular, we are looking for new ways to do online fundraising given COVID. We would like to work with GiveButter, a platform that will allow us to livestream an event and collect donations at the same time.

  7. We would like to be able to filter in a grant report by cumulative grants completed for a specific time frame or the lifetime of the fund. We would use this to send specific mailings of appreciation to donors who reach the milestone of donating $100K or $500K+ from their fund. Currently this isn't an option to filter by cumulative total for grants.

  8. I like the idea that we can mark grants complete. It would be great if that screen was more user friendly and let you mark in bulk instead of one a time.

  11. I want to link a volunteer board member as the solicitor of an opportunity. It would be ideal to add a "Solicitor" field, which can link to profile ID's in CSuite.

    Only field available to link an individual to an opportunity is Assigned field, which only links Users/Employee records to Opportunities & Tasks within.

  12. If a grant has multiple payments coming from it, I would like to be able to "complete" the portion of the grant that has been paid and the check has cleared the bank.
    Similarly, in SLM, if a student has a multi-year grant, I would like to complete (for the current year) any follow-ups rather than leaving them open and continually have to remind myself that I can't set certain items as complete. Once we have been on SLM for several years, I imagine the follow-up Submitted list is going is going to be very long.

    Not Planned  ·  Holly Spitz responded

    Due to the release of the Portal in the sandbox (August in Live sites), requests related to the legacy fund advisor system are being moved to not planned.  Foundant plans to sunset the legacy fund advisor portal on 4/1/2025.

  14. Please add an additional tier to opportunities. I'd like to sort my donors and prospects into three to five categories > then list the types of opportunities, ie, bequests, new funds, etc > then shift to tasks.

  15. Would love to have the "Reconcile List" button that takes you back to the list of reconciling accounts within the completed bank reconciliation page. As I'm now approving bank recs within CSuite, I currently have to press "Back" and then "Reconcile List" once I've approved a bank rec and I'm ready to go to another one.

  16. The copy buttons don't require any confirmation that you actually want to copy prior to the copy being completed currently. This is an issue because it is often next to "edit" or "merge" buttons, so it is fairly easy to mistakenly click from time to time. Additionally, it can be fairly easy to miss that you did copy the record since the only indication is a refresh of your screen in most cases, so this can result in duplicate records and confusion. A simple screen asking if you want to copy this record would avoid this without causing too much…

  17. Allow each user the ability to set up their own dashboard so they can see at a glance some data that is of interest to just them, tasks, etc, all in one place.. Perhaps by using widgets or similar.

    The ability to create a custom dashboard in CSuite was released this fall. Here is a link to the help article: https://support.foundant.com/hc/en-us/articles/25506874894359-My-Dashboard

  19. It would be SO helpful for the primary email that gets pulled in to email grant letters be for the development person (or whoever should get the letter). This is usually different than the primary email for the grantee (CEO, info account, etc.). I think the best way to do this is on the profile have the ability to mark an email for specific tasks (primary, grant letter recipient, etc.). Thanks!

  20. When reviewing a Grantee's Grants Tab, the Grants Awarded table accurately reflects values. However, clicking on the total value for a specific year only displays completed grants. This limitation becomes problematic when assessing the total grants for the current year, including both vouchered and completed grants.
