What's New - GrantsConnect Release 2.139.0

We’ve added Slovak to our supported languages to help grant managers and applicants engage with program content in the language they prefer. This update enhances global program reach and creates a smoother experience for users who primarily communicate in this language.

Tip: Users can open My account and select Slovak from the Language list to translate their interface. Customers can open Client Settings and select Slovak to add it as a supported language when translating forms and program content.

Note: System email translation for Slovak is planned for a future release.

A new field setting enables customers to decide which responses to carry forward when applicants copy an application. This update supports more precise data management and helps teams design programs that ensure applicants enter the correct information in new applications.

This feature provides field‑level copy control. When grant managers create or edit a form field, they can select Do not copy responses when copying applications so that the field appears blank in a copied application. This setting supports cases where teams collect contact information, gather sensitive data, or want applicants to enter updated responses.

We've updated validation for required Currency fields to support more flexible data entry. Required fields no longer enforce amounts greater than zero. Instead, users can enter zero or negative numbers when the field is required, as long as the field is not empty.

Grant managers can now edit the Cash amount requested field using the same currency that applicants enter. This update removes the requirement to enter values in the customer’s default currency and creates a consistent experience for managers and applicants.

We now display timestamps in an application’s activity trail. This update helps teams track when actions occur for auditing, compliance, and reporting. When users view an activity trail in the application view or download, each action includes a timestamp based on the user’s timezone.

The new Hide Comments setting enables customers to hide the comments section in the application view. This update helps teams focus on relevant information and support compliance requirements for workflows that do not permit comments.

Tip: This setting affects comments displayed in the application view only. It does not impact custom messages or comments that grant managers enter when they take actions, such as updating status or creating payments.

Note: Internal admins manage the Hide Comments setting in the Admin Portal. Contact your Account Manager to discuss turning on this feature.
