Need to have the ability to see fund balances and select the fund(s) that will be paying a grant payment within the SmartSimple platform, before the grant is sent to CommunitySuite for payment.

Send CSuite grants into SmartSimple
All grantees are required to complete an application for every grant, regardless of how it is initiated. Need to be able to send grant requests that start in the donor portal in CommunitySuite into SmartSimple in a pre-approval status so that applicants can complete an application.

Version is reports
When a UTA is using SmartVersioning, I would like to be able to add the @version@ information in reports (similar to what you can do in list views)

Application References
As part of our application process, candidates must provide 3 reference letters. Since we need to ensure the letters are legitimate and undoctored, they must be sent in directly by the reference and not uploaded by the applicant.
To facilitate this, we currently use the invitation functionality to allow our applicants to send invitations to the reference's email addresses. The references then create an account in SmartSimple and submit a reference form with the letter from within their portal.
Unfortunately, this adds a significant workload as we need to manage three additional users for every applicant. The bulk of support…

We are enhancing our AI capabilities including a data lake and RAG to consume structured and unstructured data to leverage across a wide range of use cases. Can you provide any specific examples for us to consider as we are focusing on delivering specific use cases.

AI Vision in PDF and Excel
For your AI Vision tool, it would be game changing for us if we could use it on PDF documents and even Excels. We require our applicants to upload bank letters which then go through a manual review to ensure that it contains all necessary information. AI Vision perhaps could be used to ensure an account number is present, address, swift code, etc. Similarly, a budget as an Excel contains line items that might be unallowable per our policy. Maybe AI Vision could be used to help detect unallowable line items.

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…

Support for SCIM 2.0 for user provisioning and de-provisioning
We would like to propose that SmartSimple develops support for SCIM 2.0 (System for Cross-domain Identity Management).
We're moving towards automated provisioning and de-provisioning of users directly from Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD). SCIM 2.0 is the industry standard protocol for this purpose, and is already supported by Entra ID as well as most modern identity and access management systems.
Efficiency: Automating user lifecycle management reduces manual administrative tasks and minimizes delays in onboarding and offboarding users.
Security: Automatic de-provisioning ensures timely removal of access when people leave the organisation, reducing the risk of orphaned accounts and potential breaches.
Compliance:…

Fix the left hand column in report builder
Fix the left hand column in the report builder which tells you which row is the dataset, field, field ID etc. so if you add multiple columns and have to scroll to the right, you can still see what each row is for

Drag and drop interface for list views like Monday.com or Airtable
We use both SmartSimple and Monday.com and Airtable at our organization, and it is so much more user friendly to build simple reports/listviews in those other tools with drag and drop and the like.
Our power users are fine with the current reporting tool and list view builder. But it would be great to have something a little less powerful for the casual user where user experience and ease of use (drag and drop) is the priority. This would allow end users to easily build list views for what they want instead of having to navigate the current advanced search…

Make the duplication check functionality separate form the record merge functionality
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.

Allow impact maps to run off of grant record owner (Primary Contact)

Add back pop-out functionality for emails
Prior to the most recent update, you could pop-out the email editor which was extremely helpful if you needed to reference information in the application while editing/drafting the email. This functionality seems to have disappeared and now you can only draft an email in a modal window.

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…

Need to be able to attach an organization to L2 payment records
We need to be able to attach a payee organization on an L2 payment record that can be different from the org listed on the L1. We've had to create a number of inelegant workarounds in the record and in reporting to get payments to work for our business processes. If it worked like the standard organization field on the L1, that would be the functionality we need.

When inviting organizations to a Funding Opportunity, have the option to select a "Mailing List" group
We have several groups of Organizations saved as a "Mailing List", for easily pulling the list or to send a group email. It would be really helpful to have the option to select one of those mailing lists when inviting a group of organizations to a Funding Opportunity in the Program Manager.
The steps could be to select a radio button option: 1. Add Organization, or 2. Add Group. When selecting the Group option, the drop-down menu of mailing lists is available to select a group of organizations that then can be added to the Funding Opportunity all at once.

Improve Global Search Functionality in Donor Portal by incorporating fuzzy search and typo tolerances
The search functionality for the end users is far too strict, to where you will get different results when using an apostrophe versus not using one. Being able to incorporate AI into this search or another method to simulate a fuzzy search will vastly improve the end user experience when using the search functionality.
