  2. The current method to change the order of the questions in application is to go into the field configuration and change the display order. This can be a time consuming process and a bit of a guessing game. It would be so helpful to have a configuration mode allow admins to drag and drop fields directly in the records to reorder them.

  3. Under the Submission Manager, is it possible to add the primary filter, it would be easy to filter by year and programme.

  4. It would be helpful if the left navigation menu on records can be toggled between the full width and a compact view on a record-by-record basis. This would help on smaller screens or when adjusting the size of the window. It would allow the fields on a record have more of the useable space.

  5. At present, the settings for user emulation do not allow for granular role-based permissions. For example, there is no feature to restrict which other roles a user role can emulate. It would be incredibly useful for our staff to be able to emulate grantee user accounts. Unfortunately, we currently cannot enable this feature for them, as it allows them to emulate all other roles which includes higher-level users.

    Something like "Roles this role can EMULATE" (reference attached image) would be incredibly useful.

  6. I just saw that there is now an option to log an email activity, but it would be helpful if that email could trigger an actual email form that could be linked with an application.

  7. In the new UX design (implemented with the October 2025 upgrade), we lost visibility to the key icon on the Contact Profile showing whether a contact has access or not. Instead, we now have to click Actions and either see "Enable Login Access" or "Disable Login Access" as the only indicator of whether the person has login access or not.

    Please bring the key icon back — we relied on it for quick, easy, reliable confirmation of the contact's login capabilities.

  8. While I love the new upgraded reminder function on emails, the limited selection of reminders is frustrating. There are a lot of choices for reminders on upcoming tasks but only 1 Day After and 3 Days After for a choice on overdue email reminders. It would be really nice if we could also set up a wider selection of Overdue email reminders.

  9. Currently if columns in an XML should be updated in say a progress report, but rows shouldn't be able to be deleted or added, the +/- buttons on the dynamic section have to be hidden with custom script. Instead it would be great if there was a setting on each dynamic section to hide the +/- buttons based on status and/or role - perhaps a visibility condition like we have for edit conditions on the column? This would make initial configuration and ongoing changes easier.

  10. Stacked bar charts are often requested by clients as part of portal design and aren't currently an option with built in portal charts. A common ask is for something such as stacking charts and displays from the budget manager such as committed, paid and remaining amounts. While this can be done with a custom report, The ability to do it off of a list view in a portal would make this much easier from a configuration and client perspective. Often clients want a full list of budgets with these fields along with a portal chart, so it would be nice…

  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. We want to display a file from one upload field on a Level 2 activity as a display field on a different Level 2 activity. We are able to do this with a display field of a Level 1 upload field on a Level 2 activity.

    For example, we have a field where we upload our signed agreement in the Agreement activity. When we need to do an amendment, we would like to have that signed agreement document accessible as a display field on the Amendment activity as a reference document.

  13. 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.

  14. Currently to have any sort of verification process on org profiles and contact profiles being up to date one has to use statuses and workflows to push them back and forth and this is the best practice for verifying these are up to date when submitting an application.

    Many clients request the ability to check whether these have been updated recently by the applicant as part of the application submission process. It would be nice if there was a way to enforce that applicants confirm their org/contact profiles are up to date without having to configure statuses. Similarly with the…

  15. 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…

  16. When the excel parser runs, it's always been running in the background. It would be nice if there was a message of some sort on the upload field to indicate that the parser is still working and when the parser has finished parsing. It could be a circle or something, but there needs to be a message to indicate the parser is still working. Otherwise when users try to interact with the records that have been parsed, it looks like it didn't finish even though it just needs more time.

  17. Often review forms are configured with a conflict of interest status. In the conflict of interest status, reviewers should be able to see a few fields from the application, but not have access to the full application. Currently the only way to configure this is to disable the reviewer from viewing the parent record and configuring a custom field to be used to view the grant in split screen. It would be nice if instead of having to configure a specific field that the view parent/split screen option could be configured to only be visible in specific statuses as built…

  18. I have a couple of clients that are using the person to person relationship in SmartSimple. This is an older feature that hasn't gotten a lot of love/updates and it would be nice if we could update the UI to match the UI we have for Associations. Right now the UI is pretty out dated and it feels clunky to navigate.

  19. 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…

  20. Currently in order to use the copy profile option in a workflow, the user that triggers the workflow must have access to the copy button under the new menu in the record. This creates extra menus for external users who don't need to see the copy button when the workflow is being run in the background. This should not have to be visible on the record for the user triggering the workflow in order for the workflow to trigger. This is something for all FHLBs.
