  1. There are clients who leverage the word merge field to consolidate data across multiple L2s (often grant reports) under a grant application and map it to a word template. The configuration for this is very syntax heavy and leverages a lot of list syntax and/or report property syntax.

    The amount of effort to support clients with this functionality often warrants an RFS. It would be nice to have a UI for selecting the L2s and the fields to be included in the word template. Some HTML work will still be required but perhaps we can eliminate the need for list…

  2. The old Rich Text Editor had the option to add headers to text without using tags. It would be ideal if this functionality could be added back into the new Rich Text Editor. This would save our users a lot of time.

    1. Make the column widths adjustable with mouse drag or in column configuration specification

  4. Is there a reason you included a document upload field in the "Interaction" L2 form that appears in our Activities list of the L1 application forms, but didn't include any way to view or download documents uploaded there?

    Enquiring minds want to know.

  5. Reporting tool doesn't (at least based on what I can see) thread conversation so you can see replies in one string in report output. We would benefit from a thread for all replies so you can order/sort by that field

  6. "Highlights" are exactly what they sound like - background color added to specific selected text.

    1. Permission L1 and L2 form types to accept highlights - application types, report types, etc.

    2. Permission highlighter function for various roles (staff, reviewer, evaluator, etc.) - Permissions should include "Create/view highlight" (user can create and see their own highlights), "View all role highlights" (enable reviewers to see each others' highlights IF this function is invoked on the highlight control menu), "View all highlights" (enable users with this role to see all highlights when invoked on the highlight control menu), and "Highlight PDF" (enable use of…

  7. The ability to select multiple item in a list view by clicking the first item and shift clicking the last item to select a range of records instead of individually clicking each one would be very helpful.

  8. In system features (global settings), there’s one called “Report – Manager” that allows those roles to access the report feature in system, build reports, export them, etc.
    o A subset of these features allow for wfs and statuses updates to be triggered (similar to bulk update)

    We have a user base that could benefit from self-service reporting, but shouldn’t be able to perform bulk CRUD operations on db.

    Suggestion: have a lower perm’d “Report – Builder” that splits off the “Update status” and “Trigger Workflow” features
    o This would mirror the personal list view limitations for non-admin users

  9. Why have "email" as an interaction type if you can't actually create, select, store or reference the email within the user interface?

    Use case: Our Finance staff wants to initiate an email conversation about unspent grant funds with an organization. The easy way would be to create an Interaction, use the "Email" type, and have it open an email template they could add subject line, body, and attachment(s) to, then select the "To" options from the "Contacts" specified in the Interaction. When a contact replied to the email, the email should show up in the owner's regular email client but…

  10. Options for allow for more than 100 but not all on the items per page picker. Often, even when filtered, there are hundreds of results and the option to pick more that 100 but not all is necessary.

  11. It would be beneficial to implement a notification system for users who have attempted to log in too many times, informing them that their account is locked for a certain number of minutes. Currently, there is no way to inform them.

    Perhaps a 'pop-up' message on the login page would be the most effective solution.

  13. Problem: Logs related to configuration and system behavior are currently fragmented across multiple locations, making troubleshooting slow and inefficient. There is no clear centralized view or consistent process to identify high-impact issues, and important configuration errors are often buried as generic warnings.

    Key Gaps:
    No single, centralized location for all relevant logs
    Configuration-related errors are hard to discover and correlate
    Log severity levels are not granular enough, causing critical issues to appear as low-priority warnings
    Lack of guidance on whether customers should rely on platform logging or develop internal processes

    Centralized Log Access
    Provide a single, unified location…

  14. 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…

  15. Would like the ability to configure the Quick Assignment Type/tool so that we could select a default dropdown option for the Quick Assignment Type and Role to Assign dropdowns. It would also be nice to have the option to add a dropdown option of 'Select One' so that users are forced to select an option.

    For assigning reviews, a pop-up window appears with two options - Manual User Assignment and Random user Assignment. Would be nice to have the ability to revise the tool tip language.

    After using the Quick Assignment Type tool, there is no way to close out…

  18. It is onerous to build a report to find the common name (front end name, etc) for a eventid that you find in wf history (or otherwise). I'd love to search for level 1, 2, 3 ids in list views to prevent that extra step of building report just to find a field I can search on list view

  19. https://wiki.smartsimple.com/wiki/HistoryOf_function

    When using this function, I have to configure with status names. Example from WIKI:

    @HistoryOf(Status::[Value]='Approved'::Update to [Value] by [UpdatedBy] at [UpdatedTime]::[UpdateTime]::desc::1)@

    This is a brittle approach (as this is the caption / front end field name). I'd love the ability to pass the statusid as opposed to status. Even backend field (name) would be better than the caption

  20. Currently, descriptions for uploaded files can be added. It will be helpful to be able to report on each uploaded files, with their description and upload date/time, and user. It will be helpful for staff/reviewers to be able to have a list of files that were uploaded, with the description at hand, as filenames may not be as descriptive.
    Also, since file upload is available thru autoloader, it will nice to be able to add descriptions of files when uploaded thru autoloader.
