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…

Hide columns in the global user lookup list view
Add the ability to hide specific columns in the global user lookup list view settings. This would allow admins to include fields (e.g., a unique ID) in the lookup view so users can search by them, without displaying those fields in the list view.
- Go to Global Settings
- Users > Lookup List Views
- Edit the default user lookup list view
- Select a column and add a toggle button to “Hide Column” here (similar to List views)

Can you provide more details on your use case? We are trying to understand why you would search on a value not presented.

Fuzzy Search Functionality for SmartSimple Platform
The current search functionality in SmartSimple is inflexible and does not accommodate spelling variations, spacing differences, or typos. This limitation results in:
- Users creating duplicate profiles for organizations, etc., when they cannot locate existing entries
- Increased user access management issues
- Greater administrative burden for managing and merging duplicate profiles
- Weakened compliance monitoring and controls
Implementing a fuzzy search functionality that returns approximate matches would resolve these issues by allowing the platform to accommodate:
- Spelling mistakes
- Spacing differences
- Typos and minor character variations
Benefits:
- Improved User Experience: Users can find existing records even with minor search variations
- Reduced Duplication: Fewer duplicate…

Please add status and type IDs to the Archive feature
Can you please add status and type IDs to all applicable csv files included in the zip file created by the platform archive feature? For example these are both missing from the applications and activities csv files, both which only include status and type names. Having IDs would be useful for downstream use of the feature.

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.

Batch update to update legislative districts
We use Legislative Districts on our Organization Profiles to track giving by district. Currently, this requires manually updating each organization by clicking the Legislative Lookup button next to the address and then saving the draft to populate the fields. The ability to batch update this information would be extremely helpful—especially after redistricting, which occurs every few years.

T2P Projects: filter assigned users
In the T2P project when you are going to assign users the system should display Global Admin users who have User Access. Nowadays system shows all Global Admin users (with or without User Access).

Minimize Replies for Flagged Notes
Flagged notes are helpful if they're brief. However, when a flagged note has replies, every part of the thread is posted on the Application. I want to enable flagged notes to minimize or hide their replies to reduce the space they would take up on the Application.

API integration for email send (Microsoft Graph, Gmail API)
We currently configure SMTP relays for clients who wish to send email from their own domains.
However, it is often challenging to work with client IT teams to enable SMTP AUTH on the required mailboxes.
In these situations, we are frequently asked whether SmartSimple supports — or plans to support — integration with Microsoft 365 (Graph API) or Gmail API for outbound mail delivery.
We understand that the February upgrade strengthened security by enforcing OAuth 2.0 for SMTP authentication. However, this still relies on SMTP as the transport protocol, which many IT providers increasingly consider legacy compared to modern API-based…

Search against connectors
Sys admins can search across workflows and tasks, but we can't search against / see connector IDs.
Project based T2P lets you see the workflow IDs that have been updated, but there's no traceability to the connector ID when looking at a connector in wf.
At a minimum, I'd like to see the connector ID on the connector itself. Even better if I can search against a connector list to see what was updated

Linked Record List Custom Fields: Enable Simplified Association Interface on the Assigned Organizations list type
I've recently seen great improvements to the grantee user experience when I've utilized the Linked Record List Custom Field "Simplified Association Interface" toggle for Contact Associations, but this option is not currently available for Organization Associations as well as some other list types.
Please consider adding the "Simplified Association Interface" option for Organization Association list types, as well as all other list types, if possible.

Allowing address field's caption customized when 'Enable Multiple Address' is enabled
Currently: When 'Enable Multiple Address' is enabled (on org or user profile), the Address field's caption remains locked to "Primary Address"; updating the standard field caption for Address or Address Type doesn't change it.
Use Case: Client might set a different default address type, such as "Mailing Address" (which they can configure in Address Types), and they want the caption to display as Mailing Address.
Request: To allow the address field caption to be customized when using the Multiple Address feature.

Allow reports to have a direct URL
Enable users to link directly to a report when it has been created. This would be incredibly helpful when working collaboratively. Currently we have to describe which folder the report is in and provide a unique ID so they know which report to access. It would be so much easier to send a direct link to the report.

Improved SmartSimple–Word Integration for Collaboration and Version Control
Contracts and collaborative documents across the grant and partnership lifecycle are currently managed primarily through Word documents shared via email. This creates challenges with version control, including multiple document versions, parallel edits, and manual consolidation of changes. Collaboration is fragmented, resulting in limited visibility into document updates, no single source of truth, and limited auditability of changes and negotiations. In addition, the process creates administrative pressure on a small legal function, and contracts are largely managed outside the SmartSimple platform, leading to duplicated documentation and limited traceability.
To address this, improved collaboration functionality is needed. The solution should allow documents…

Enable a History for the Dynamic Visibility changes
When editing a Dynamic Visibility, there is no history of what changes were made as the system does with most parts of the platform. Some Dyn Visibility trees are long and we do not have any way to see what changes were applied.

Webinars held at times European users can attend
Can you please hold webinars at a time where European Smartsimple users can attend or hold separate webinars for European users.
The last three webinars: SmartSimple's February 2026 Upgrade Overview, Configuring SMTP OAuth 2.0 for Office 365 and Online Project-Based Test to Production (T2P) have all been held at 02:00 PM Eastern Time (US and Canada) which is 8pm Central European time and 7pm GMT. This excludes European users from participating in these webinars and we miss out on important information. Please consider making a change to these. Thank you.

Great suggestion, for many of the webinars including the product upgrade webinars, we offer multiple times to handle the range of time zones. The main sessions you reference are delivered by Support, they have committed to an earlier time to better accommodate European users.

Image sizing for dashboards
The portal page to display an image (URL and Smartfolders) doesn't adapt to the size of the browser window. It would be great visually to have the image be displayed as the whole web page instead of having a blank space on the right side.
I've attached a screenshot of a sample image and it shows up on our dashboard.
