Fiscal Year
Many clients have fiscal years that are not calendar years. We need an easy way to set the fiscal year (e.g. 10/1-9/30) and be able to use this to filter list views.

Message Queue: “To” field preserve the recipient email address used at send time (audit) / Point in time email address in the Message Queue
In the Message Queue, the “To” field currently displays the user’s current profile email, not the email address that was actually used when the message was sent. When a user updates their email address, historical messages appear as though they were sent to the new address, even when they were not. This makes it impossible to reliably determine which email address received a message at the time it was issued.
This is an issue for auditability, Freedom of Information (FOI) requests, privacy breach investigations, and resolving disputes about notification, delivery, or non‑receipt. A message log must be able to stand…7 votes -
Log manually sent emails in Message Queue
Currently, only emails generated through system processes (e.g. workflows) are visible in the Message Queue. Emails sent directly from an application are not logged in the Message Queue or Sent messages.
This creates inconsistency in how communication is tracked within the system.
For us (administrators), the Message Queue is an important tool to monitor and review outgoing emails. When emails sent from records are not included, it is not possible to verify whether an email has been sent correctly or to review the content.
It would be very useful if emails sent from an application could also be included in…4 votes -
Native integration with OpenAlex (Publication Search)
In our Grants and Fellowships programmes, we require our candidates to link their application to publicly available publications, papers, etc. as to build the State of Art, Methodology, etc. of their project.
Currently SmartSimple supports some Publication search engines natively (Scopus, Web of Science and PubMed as far as we are aware). These are all good resources, but there is a new source which is becoming more popular - OpenAlex -. As it stands, we are building a custom integration with their API for the Fellowships instance, but we would like to suggest that SmartSimple builds a native integration with…

• a larger window
• an expandable window that scrolls

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…

We see the value and need to provide a way for customers to have a documented view of their system. We will monitor to see how much others are interested.

Include Files that have been uploaded to records with new Data Extraction API
I learned recently that files that have been uploaded to records via file upload custom fields can not be extracted using the new Data Extraction API. I can see clients wanting these files included when extracting records into other business insight tools, AI or otherwise.
3 votesBased on client demand, we are interested in exploring support for accessing uploaded documents via the Data Extraction API

Visual Step-Indicator for Application Workflow Stages
Problem:
Internal users must individually review applications to determine their current approval stage (first approval → second approval → payment generation → payment approvals → paid). No at-a-glance visibility into bottlenecks.Suggestion:
Implement a visual step-indicator (progress bar or workflow timeline) showing where each application sits in the approval pipeline. It will be impactful to improve workflow visibility, for both internal approval users and external applicants.See proposed design attached.

Bring back ability to choose different email addresses when using Email Templates/Group Email
It is critical and imperative for our work that the ability to choose different email addresses when using Email Templates/Group Email is implemented again (in the deprecated personal email settings). This has a major impact on the work that we do. We rely on this feature quite heavily. Without this feature we need to email stakeholders manually, which is taking a step back for us.
14 votesWe plan to allow the ability to specify multiple “From” email addresses in a future release. This will most likely be added at Global Settings > Communications > Email Options and Security > From Address

Transfer field formatting (dates, numbers) when exporting list views and reports to Excel
Transfer field formatting (dates, numbers) when exporting list views and reports to Excel.
Adding this functionality would greatly improve Smartsimple's usability.
Often, the fields in list views and reports are date or number fields and when exporting to Excel (xls, xlsx, csv, etc.), these formats are not transferred, requiring subsequent editing of the generated files.4 votes -

Global Search Functionality
Implement a global search feature that enables users to search by grant name, user name, or organization name. When a user is searched, the results should include:
A direct link to the user’s profile
Links to all organizations the user is affiliated with
A list of all grants associated with the user
This enhancement would streamline navigation and improve access to relevant information across the platform.
This search may be surfaced in the header and should take advantage of the OpenSearch work being done to ensure the fastest performance.

Allow for copy text capability in document preview

Strip HTML from Rich Text Fields on List View or Report Export
When exporting a reporting that includes rich text fields, the export includes unrendered HTML. This HTML then needs to be stripped out to make the content of the report readable.
Suggest to add an option on the report and list view export to strip html from the export. Include a tooltip to advise that this will impact formatting.

Allow configuration of session timeout warning
The system will automatically timeout sessions for users at the interval specified on the Security page, or sometimes earlier if there is an error. There is an automatic timeout notification that pops up immediately before the session times out, but it would improve user experience and accessibility to be able to configure a notification with more time before the timeout, so that the user could have a chance to save their work. It would also be nice to be able to customize the notification message.

List view return to page you were on
If you load a list view and go into a record on the 3rd page, when you come out it reloads back to the 1st page and you lose your place when reviewing a lot of applications. Can it go back to where you clicked onto the record please.
3 votesWhen you navigate back to the UTA list view after opening a record, I can see that the page reloads and returns you to the first page of list view records instead of your previous page in the list.

Change the default error message for SSO
Request: Can the SSO default authentication error message be updated, perhaps by client instance? Is there any way for users not to hit a dead end but be nudged towards the correct behaviour?
Context: Logging in on the SSO “happy path” works well (users follow directions and know if they already have registered with SmartSimple or not). These users do things in the right order: Users click the Create an account button if they have not previously registered in SmartSimple, or they click the Log in button if they have.
The “unhappy path” does not work, where users think they…

Allow upload fields on an L1, L2, or L3 to automatically be transferred to the associated organization or contact record.
Allow for a field or file that is uploaded on an application to be automatically transferred to the associated organization or contact records. Currently we manually move W9 files to the organization record for easy access by all internal users.
