I'm thinking the "foundation-by-foundation" idea would be best if that could be implemented. I'm undecided about this for our foundation at this point...It may be useful for us to see declines within an open process just to have a comprehensive snapshot of all activity for that process. In the past, I remember thinking that I wanted to see that number, but I don't know if it was just my desire for seeing the all-inclusive macro view of the process (...like that internal alarm signal saying ...hey where did that information go?) OR if it would really be useful to me. We only work on one cycle (process) at a time, so I don't think I would be opposed to this, but can see the issues for those that have rolling calendars and multiple processes at a time not wanting to add clutter with an overall "declined" tally that needs to be further sorted in order to locate the necessary info. For our foundation, this would not be a high priority item at this time. As I go through our next cycle, I'll consider how helpful this could be.
