  1. It would be useful to have a drag and drop type interface for allocating tasks or people where high volumes are involved. Examples include sharing hundreds to applications between a number of committee meetings or hundreds of review tasks between a number of reviewers

  2. The Dynamic Dropdown/Lookup Autocomplete field referencing Level 3 – Sub-Activities should include an option to filter results based on the selected Level 1 or Level 2 type.

    Example:
    We have a Level 3 lookup field with “Enable Dynamic Content” enabled, which references Level 3 activities. Since the same Level 3 activities can be shared across multiple Level 1 and Level 2 types, there should be an option to filter the available Level 3 activities in the dropdown according to the selected Level 1 or Level 2 type.

  3. When adding shortcuts to a portal, it goes to a pop up list of shortcuts and target checkboxes are ticked and then the user clicks OK to confirm. The shortcuts are added to the list in the portal but need an additional click to once again confirm the new shortcuts and save them to the portal. This is an extra step that seems unnecessary since we already confirmed which shortcuts to add.

  4. The font and text size used in the system-generated email with the subject “Confirm Your New Email Address” are not consistent with the formatting used in other system-generated emails. A fix related to this issue is scheduled for the February release as part of the ticket referenced below.

    Given this, could we introduce a configuration control for this email template—similar to what is currently available for password-reset and new-user emails? Having this control would allow us to adjust the text and font formatting as needed to meet branding or client requirements.

    Please refer to SmartSimple ticket #275411 for additional details.

  5. We have many external users who are associated with more than one organization, and we have spent three years training them (including designing training materials, slide decks, and videos) to use the 'building' icon in the portal header bar to manage their active organization association.

    The new version is not 'intuitive' or 'easy' for our users to catch on to how to chance associations. Please make it possible for us to restore the building icon and its function.

  6. Problem: Platform upgrades often introduce breaking changes with limited advance notice. Release information typically arrives too close to the upgrade window, leaving insufficient time to assess impact, migrate customizations, and test integrations. This results in avoidable production issues and reactive support tickets.

    Key Gaps:
    Release notes are usually available only 2–4 weeks before upgrade
    Non-prod/backup instances are upgraded too close to prod
    Release notes are large and hard to filter for relevant breaking changes
    Opening a support ticket is the only way to get clarification

    Requested Improvements:
    1. Earlier Release Notes
    2. Share preliminary / upcoming release notes 2–3 months…

  7. The list view search and filter criteria far exceeds the workflow search (which only allows 1 condition). Would love to see the functionality that is currently available in UTA searches be applied to workflow and task searches

  8. When preparing an email in the Communication Center, the "Preview" button previews only the body, not the subject. It would be great to include the subject in the preview as it contains often variables or sslogic statements

  9. We have received user feedback that the standard system message sent when a user is tagged in a Note is difficult to read. Users want italics or quotes to visually distinguish the Note content from the rest of the message. Users would also like the URL to be a clickable link so they can navigate to the Note directly from their email. If SmartSimple cannot update the standard system message, provide the ability to configure a custom template here (without creating a new workflow, which is what Support suggested).

  10. When you create a listview that includes advanced data table displays, they are nested into a single excel cell. It would be great if there was an easy way to export out data from advanced data tables so they are parsed into individual cells.

  11. When a static section is required in an advanced data table, clients still want to be able to query the data across records. While technically they can in a report, the only way to make this more user friendly at the moment is to create hidden fields that are populated with template formulas or try to make the section dynamic and map to L2s.

    It would be much more user friendly and make configuration easier if you could just map each applicable cell to a field on the same record level. This would reduce template formulas that have to run…

  12. Currently, when using the @notes@ token in email templates, all formatting (such as line breaks, bullet points, etc.) is lost and the note appears as one large paragraph.

    The idea is to preserve the original formatting of the note so that it displays clearly in the email, exactly as it was entered in the system.

  13. Often times clients want to enforce a minimum or maximum amounts on certain columns such as request amount or match amount on an advanced data table total row. This currently isn't possible without passing the data to a static section. This makes validation tedious and time consuming to configure, but also more complicated for a client to edit and update later.

    One should be able to use validation in the amounts in the total row only such as:
    -Comparing the amount in one column to a field on the grant or linked cycle
    -Comparing the amount in one total column…

  14. Consider allowing concurrent record access as long as same field (or alternatively) same tab isn't being edited. There's good reason to have record locks for many orgs and use cases, but the whole record doesn't necessarily need to be locked.

    Applicants and grantees typically wait until the deadline to submit. Suppose two staff members are collaborating simultaneously on different tabs / fields as deadline approaches. With record locks, there's a fair bit of coordination w/ applicant grantee to submit in timely fashion. If record locks were made at field or tab as opposed to record as a whole, it would…

  15. Right now, any users that have access to the duplicate organization check also have the ability to merge organization records. It's too risky to give all of our end users the ability to merge records, but we do want the duplication check functionality. Right now we required them to manually search for an organization before making a new record, but they often forget to do that. If we could split the duplication check from the merge record functionality and assign the access separately, it could make things much easier for us.

  16. We have multiple grant application types. When I go to batch update a custom field (the caption of which may exist in several different applications with differing selection options) the batch update feature only shows the caption for the custom field, rather than a field ID, making it difficult to differentiate which field is correct if multiple fields share the same caption.

  17. 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…

  18. Improve the Custom Field Type "Text Box - Date" by adding the possibility to enter a range of selected dates. Today it is only possible to add a default value into the Calendar but for example it is not possible to prevent the client from selecting a date prior to the default value date. The proposition would be to have the possibility to add a range of predefined date: the client could select dates only within the specified perid of time added in the range.

  20. The annotation reply is quite small if you had a multi paragraph write-up that needs to be edited/annotated.

    We would greatly value for an ability to expand annotation reply size (field value specifically). Yes, you can change the field length from bottom right corner, but that's quite restrictive for a multi paragraph reply
