With the recent FIMS update came a new feature where, when entering a grant, a warning pops up if the Program field is too large to fit on the check stub. We have always used a submittal letter and do not rely on the check stub to communicate the grant program. It would be great if this feature could be turned off, because it becomes very annoying. At least half of our grants exceed that character limit. Plan B would be to limit the DCNXT recommendation field to a maximum number of characters, but that feature is not working properly either. You can limit the field, but nothing tells the donor why their recommendation is not ready to submit. Thank you.
Yes, we would like that notice/pop up turned off as well. Many of our program names are quite long, and it is listed on the grant letter.
Yes, please make the notice about the Program field optional so it can be turned off. It doesn't apply to us and pops up too frequently.
