Good usability suggestions, the only item not under consideration is the last one with the ability to leverage a user's SQL

Improvement to the API services
The current API services offered by SmartSimple are confusing in the response our team receives when calling them. For example:
- If there are missing variables in the call, it will respond a 200 - OK in almost all circumtances.
- If there is an incorrect variable (for example, report instead of reportid), the API will reply a 401 error in the body of the response - which indicates the user does not have authorization to that report, when the error is that the variable was incorrectly parsed in the URL.As our system becomes more connected with other platforms,…

Custom Fields Permission Quick Edit - freeze top/left headers for Role and Status; add in field Caption
When we need to update the custom field permissions, the Permission Quick Edit is often unusable. Once you scroll down a small amount, you lose the header row and can't tell what role or status you're changing. Same for when you scroll to the right, you lose the Custom Field column on the far left and have no idea what field you're editing.
We also usually don't really know the field's name as well as we know the Caption. It would be so helpful to include both the name and caption for reference so you know you're really updating the…

Batch Update to Remove Assigned Contacts
Please allow Batch Update to handle removal of Assigned Contacts based on role. The way it functions now, a name is required in order for Assigned Contacts to be removed. Doing a bulk removal via batch update based on role alone does not seem to work.

Rich Text Editor - Resizable Window
With the Smart Simple October 2025 Update to the Rich Text Editor, the window is no longer resizable.
The specific field type for the Rich Text Editor is: Special - Rich Text. It would be ideal if the window has the ability to be resized both vertically and horizontally.
An example of text windows that are fully adjustable are those with the "Text Box - Text Multiple Lines" field type, and the Width is set to "Full" under the display options (Width), allows for both horizontal and vertical adjustment

Implement a Visual Risk Indicator for Records (e.g., Grants and Engagements)
Introduce a visual indicator, similar to a stoplight system, to represent the risk level associated with records such as grants or other engagements. This would allow users to quickly assess the likelihood of success by viewing the associated risk level at a glance:
- Green – Low Risk
- Yellow – Medium Risk
- Red – High Risk
- Grey – No Value/Not Assessed
Key Features:
Display Locations: The indicator should be visible on the individual record, within list views, and be accessible for reporting purposes.
Data Representation: In addition to the color-coded indicator, the corresponding textual value (High, Medium, Low, or None) must…

Enhancements to the T2P Tool
After our first experience with the new T2P tool, we would like to suggest the implementation of the following enhancements:
- Pagination in "Changes Logged Against This Project"
The current page to view, select and manage the changes lacks pagination. This makes navigating large sets of changes difficult, especially when we need to manually select or unselect hundreds of changes.
Pagination would significantly improve usability and efficiency.
- Promoted indicator should be tied to ENVIRONMENT
We have noted several that the current behaviour is not ideal. The main suggestions would be:
--> The Promoted field should reflect the status of that change…5 votesWe plan to review pagination, search, and filtering capabilities within the T2P tool. If versioning is not being promoted, it should be reported as a defect to support.

Allow users to copy a system list view without needing edit access
I would like to be able to give users the ability to copy an existing system listview and save it as a personal listview.
Currently, a system list view can only be copied if a user has EDIT access to it. This access is only granted if you are a UTA Admin or a Global Admin.
My users are not system admins or UTA admins for Grant Manager, so they do not have the ability to EDIT or copy a system list view.
So, I would like users to be allowed to copy a system list view without needing edit…

Versioning
Currently, SmartVersioning does not allow you to copy versions you create. You can only create new versions that pull in the base core fields.
This makes it very difficult to iterate on yearly application form changes.
The best practice from SmartSimple is to make changes at the Core Field level until it matches what you want, then save those changes as a version. However, this makes it very difficult to manage versions in practice.
For instance, my foundation has three Level 1 Grant Types and every year we make revisions to the application forms. Last year I created Scholarship Application…

Ability to Hide/Sort/Freeze columns in the Assignment Grid (Reviewer Assignment Grid)
When using the Assignment Grid—specifically the Reviewer Assignment Grid—it would be helpful to have features similar to Excel, such as the ability to hide columns or freeze panes. This would make it easier to scroll horizontally on smaller screens without losing track of which application you're viewing. It would also be useful to have the option to sort by specific columns, such as Application ID#.

List Display : freeze the first row

Dynamic Visibility should copy over to new System Versions
Currently, when SmartVersioning is used, it will copy over all the fields in the Core version to the new version. It does not, however, copy over the dynamic visibility. So if the dynamic visibility changes between versions, you have to manually keep all of your dynamic visibilities updated to the newest versions. This is a pain when you have to manage dozens of dynamic visibility fields.
It would make more sense that, if a dynamic visibility is set to the Core version, that it automatically adds the new version that is stamped from the Core. If fore some reason this…

Enhance Auto Assignment Feature
It would be nice to be able to use the auto assignment feature as follows instead of having to use workflows and enable this to be used with the contacts tab instead of assigned sf:
1) When a new user is added in a particular role to the contacts tab of an L1, automatically assign them to the L2s in the contacts tab as a particular role
2) When a new L2 is created and users from the L1 are set to auto assign to the L2, the assignment is passed upon activity creation
3) When a user is removed…5 votesMonitoring Interest ·

There are multiple parts to this idea. One is that we will ensure the auto-assignment works for single users, this ticket will represent the request to support multiple contacts. We may also consider supporting deletions, but that will be after we deliver this first step of supporting multiple contacts.

Export custom field list with visibility permission settings
The ability to export the custom field list from L1, L2 or L3, users, orgs or any system object, with settings such as mandatory toggle, description, select values, and including the role, status, and type permission settings, into Excel, or the ability to build a report builder report where you can customize the settings to be exported. The system design summary pulls some of this data into a word table format, which can be copied into Excel, but it is cumbersome and only copies from the core fieldset. Being able to export directly and easily from the custom field list…

Enable download option from listviews for Upload - Image fields
The current functionality within listviews allows the user, if the option is enabled, to request the download of the files in a specific Upload - Multiple file storage field to a ZIP file.
This functionality is not currently available for the field type Upload - Image. We would like to have this option available, as the current workaround requires the configuration of 2 API services and short script to get the same result.

Ability to change information in the invitation window on an application once an invited person has accepted
Once a person has been invited to an application and has accepted the invitation, it would be helpful if system administrators had the ability to edit information in the invitation window—such as correcting the spelling of a name or email address. It's common for the person sending the invitation to make small mistakes, and they often reach out to us for corrections after the invitee has accepted. Currently, the only way to fix these errors is to delete the invitation and re-invite the person, which is inefficient.

Bottom scroll bar
On the L2 view within the L1, there are two scroll bars on the right and then a bottom scroll bar below all the L2s. if there are many L2s on the list, one would have to scroll all the way down to move the scroll bar to the right. It would be nice to have the bottom scroll bar be static on the page.

Permission Quick Edit: Security Matrix checkboxes for Fields
It would be really helpful to have the option in the various Security Matrix sections to toggle all the checkboxes on or off across for a particular field, not just down for a Role or Status.
And as we can do with the 3 dots in the header row to "Copy Row Settings", I'd like to be able to "Copy Field Settings".
Use Case: I have a similar update I'd like to make to a large number of new fields to remove all the current permissions and replace with updated permissions and need to go through each field and each…
