Save & Validate doesn't validate when there are save errors
The Save & Validate button type (https://wiki.smartsimple.com/wiki/Submit_%26_Save_Buttons) only saves when there are no validation issues. We've changed the caption to "Check question status" to avoid this misnomer and have created a separate button that changes status, completes validation, and returns to draft if validation (field-level and logic) issues are present.
Consider changing the workflow steps so the system saves first then validates and presents error messages where required fields are incomplete.

The action is actually performing a validation then saving. We will monitor this to determine if we should change the button label.

Update objemail from uuid to a user-friendly syntax
Email Anything uses UUIDs --- which work well for emails that originate from SmartSimple, but require an extra step to go find UUID if you're trying to route an email to a SmartSimple object for storage/recordkeeping.
We'd love to see a UUID aliasing solution in the product roadmap. The biggest use case is for external users who are corresponding with staff based on an known, common attribute of the L1 application record (e.g. application ID). If they could add something like [client]-[opp]-[recordid]@smartsimple.com to the email thread as an alias for the L1 record of interest, it'd be a lot easier…

Move record locks from record level to tab or field level
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…

Task Connector For When All Other Connectors Fail
It would be nice if there was an easy way to mark a Task Connector as "Do this thing if none of the other Task Connectors work."
Right now, let's say you have 10 Task Connectors, and each Task Connector is dependant on the outcome of a drop-down field on a form. In order to do a "none-of-the-above", you would have to do something manually like "@dropdown@" NOT IN ('option1','option2',etc...). Instead of having to account for every situation, just having a flag would simplify the whole workflow design.

Ability to get the latest activity with its fields in a report with L1 as parent dataset
Users who are in financial or compliance would like to be able to report on existing Grants, with the latest (for example), budget amendment, financial report, etc. The report will contain Grant record fields, and latest budget amendment record fields.
Currently, using the max function in a report column, only gives the max value of that specific column.
This function or ability will be useful for a lot of clients.1 vote -
Preview Subject in Communication Center
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

Enable role filters for Contact Association Listviews in the Submission Manager
We would like to be able to create role filters for contact association listviews in the submission manager. This capability is already available for global contact listviews, and we believe it would be useful to build custom filter settings to make grant contacts easier to navigate. E.g., a list of all reviewers assigned to a grant, communications contacts, etc. This would enable staff members to open a list of contacts and immediately parse the individuals with whom they'd like to interact directly without navigating through several other names.
The current views are a bit cluttered with, for instance, 8 reviewers,…

Give the option to just run a Charity Check report through the GuideStar extension, rather than it pulling the entire "Pro" report
A recent SmartSimple update included a change with the GuideStar Charity Check feature, where it now pulls a GuideStar Pro report versus just pulling the Charity Check report. I'm not sure if it's just us or if there are any other clients have found this to be burdensome to their processes for a couple of reasons.
1) It now takes so much longer for the report to be pulled into the record (at least 5-10 minutes). So, it's not as immediate as it once was.
2) We don't use all of the other information that is in the Pro report.…

Allow reports to display multiple addresses from address book
When running a report on an Organization Profile with address book enabled, it seems that it is only possible for the report to return one address (the one designated as primary).
In our configuration we have allowed users to enter 1 record for each address type: Mailing and Physical. The idea is that they might have a physical location but prefer to get mail at a PO Box, for instance.
Only the Mailing Address fields show up when a report is run with the Company dataset. It would be great to somehow get a report to display each address type…

Role names in report
We would like to review on a regular basis (1 or 2 times per year) that all users having a privileged account in the system still need such access. We would like therefore to generate a report listing all users with their current role. Unfortunately, only "Role ID" can be added to report. Not "Role Name" or "Role Caption"

Promotion Rollback for Project-Based T2P Tool
Introduce a rollback feature in the new project-based T2P tool to allow reverting configuration changes promoted to test or production environments.
Use Case:
After promoting changes to a test environment, testing revealed issues, and a decision was made to not proceed with those configuration changes. In this case, the rollback feature would allow reverting specific changes within the current environment to its prior state. Similarly, if changes have been promoted to production and need to be temporarily undone, the rollback function would enable this.Implementation:
On the Import tab of the T2P tool, capture the pre-change state before applying any…4 votes -
Enhance the Word Parser to support updating both standard and custom fields.
Enhance the Word Parser to support updating both standard and custom fields. Currently it can only update custom fields. We are specifically trying to use it to update address fields on the organization record.

SmartFields - change default to Exclude (or allow us to choose our preferred default for our system)
Can there be a way to choose your system's preferred default for SmartField inclusion? Currently it defaults to Include. Ideally we'd much rather it default to Exclude, or at least give us the option to choose our default.
The issue is that with numerous system admins making changes or adding fields over time, we inevitably are forgetting to toggle this to Exclude and errant fields then show up in our exported pdf files - that we often are completely unaware of. This could cause a file to being shared with users who should not have access to some of the…

Custom Fields Permission Quick Edit - freeze top/left headers for Role and Status; add in field Caption
When we need to update the custom field permissions, the Permission Quick Edit is often unusable. Once you scroll down a small amount, you lose the header row and can't tell what role or status you're changing. Same for when you scroll to the right, you lose the Custom Field column on the far left and have no idea what field you're editing.
We also usually don't really know the field's name as well as we know the Caption. It would be so helpful to include both the name and caption for reference so you know you're really updating the…

Notification Broadcast
Add the possibility in the Notification Broadcast to have the notification stay visible all the time once using the sytem. Currently the user has the notification at connexion only and then the notification closes. After this improvement the notification could appear all the time, preventing the user from missing important information.

Add alternative signatory to sign while using Adobe e-sign
In Adobe e-sign, a user is able to assign a signatory and an alternative signatory (proxy signatory) to the same signature spot, but only one can sign. Would it be possible to do the same in the Smart Simple platform, as Adobe eSign is used as the interface?

Ability to Copy/Save As SmartVersions
We build funding applications using SmartVersions. Sometimes we have a minor update to a SmartVersion we would like to make for a future competition but want to keep the original SmartVersion as well. It would be great if we could Copy or Save As a SmartVersion the same way you can Copy or Save As a Custom Field so we don't have to start from scratch each time.
