    @Crystal Bruce As always thanks for keeping us engaged. @Ray Borkman @Kathleen Ward @Brenda Noiseux @Ryan Turner @Nicole Ragno - I listened to the Grantmaking update and I really appreciate how much thought is and has gone into updating the portal - document manager, batch actions, and contact tables categorized by role. We are not on the portal yet, but I keep up with any changes for the future. And I am always pleased with the customer service I receive via online or phone. Blackbaud Grantmaking works well for The Imlay Foundation.

    @Angela Finley Hunter Thank you, Angela! Very grateful for your kind words and to have you as a customer. You keep us going!!?

  • @Crystal Bruce I love the ease of updating printed templates without downloading, editing and uploading! This will be a time-saver :). The field validation will be helpful - I didn't catch whether the field validation will pull the info from Blueprint? I've def run into issues where the configuration didn't translate in the new portal so hoping this is what is addressed :)

    It's also very helpful to have the role-specific contact tables!

    Thanks for the ongoing work on Blackbaud :)

    @Monica Jordan So great to hear that the document template manager will save you time! Regarding your question, the field validation will pull from Blueprint (custom fields). If it is already being used on a form, you will need to re-add it. Hope this helps clarify and don't hesitate to reach out to our customer support team if you still need assistance with this. Thanks, Monica!

    I'm really excited to hear that an inprogress application report is coming for the new application process. We have successfully finished an application period earlier this year and it was a positive first run but the inprogress report was certainly missed.
