  1. 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…

  2. 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.

  3. 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?

  4. 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.

  5. We are running into a limitation whereby applicants/users have a need to change their email addresses on a semi-regular basis. Researchers move institutions frequently enough and when doing so they will receive new email addresses.

    This often leads to duplicate accounts if they need to reset their password and don't have access to their original email address at the previous institutions. Additionally, if they don't remember having created an account and then register under their new email address, this bypasses the duplicate check. Lastly, using the email address limits the ability to update the email address without making their account…

  6. All our emails are sent from "no-reply@smartsimple.eu"
    However, even if this is a "no-reply" email address and we describe in the email body the one to use to reply, users continue to use the "reply" button of their email client. So, we would like to define, at the email template level, the reply email address to use (can't be a global parameter as multiple internal teams are involved).
    For now, we try to use the "(reply-to)" feature in cc (see screenshot - do not remove it!) but this is not very practical

  7. When using a L2 list view, you can search for one ID but not multiple. The ID field does not appear as a selection in the dropdown. It would be great to use an or (or in() ) statement and enter many id's. The reason for this in a list view and not a report is due to the ability to bulk download attachments.

  8. With the BI dashboards set up it is possible to drill down to the project number, however it would be extremely useful to be able to open the project directly from the dashboard rather than having to make a note of the project number and then loading the submission manager to view it.

    I’ve attached a screenshot example view – this is a drill down to hub level, and although I have hidden the project reference numbers they are displayed beneath each of the columns – a great improvement would be to hyperlink the project reference numbers and open the…

  9. The Object ID can be included in reports, however it would also be useful if the object name could be included too - for example, Workflow, Custom Filed, UTA Name, etc.

    We have created a report to track and reference changes within the system, based on notes that are entered onto the object (we have created a specific category of notes to accommodate this). We can run a report that lists all the changes, but the only the numeric object ID is included - if the object name/description could also be included it would be extremely helpful in determining what…

  10. Currently, on a Level One record, the Logs button includes two separate items: Field Change History and Workflow History. Our developer has proposed consolidating Field Change History into Workflow History to streamline the debugging process.

    This would allow developers to view data changes—such as values passed to custom fields—directly within the workflow history. If a workflow fails, this visibility would make it easier to trace what data was modified at each step, improving troubleshooting efficiency without the need to switch between tabs.

  11. Enhance the SmartSimple platform with an AI-driven assistant that supports developers during configuration by offering real-time suggestions such as field types, AI tools, syntax guidance, and automated script generation. This assistant would analyze existing configurations and scripts to recommend improvements, flag potential issues, and answer natual language questions (e.g., “How do I call an OpenAI function in web page view?”).

    Together, these features would create a smarter, more supportive configuration environment that reduces the time and effort for developers to research on resolutions, improves code accuracy, and accelerates development.

  12. We have many external users who are associated with more than one organization, and we have spent three years training them (including designing training materials, slide decks, and videos) to use the 'building' icon in the portal header bar to manage their active organization association.

    The new version is not 'intuitive' or 'easy' for our users to catch on to how to chance associations. Please make it possible for us to restore the building icon and its function.

  14. We have a multi-upload field with media library enabled. That field can only accept images and videos, not documents. Please allow us the ability to accept more file types, including documents, to fields of this type.

  15. Allow Search results let the user select one or more records and click a "Pivot" option to show a listview of L1, L2, and/or CRM records that have a connection to the selected items.

    Use Case:
    I want to know about funded projects completed by some (not all) of the organizations from Region 5 that use fiscal sponsors. So I filter for organizations in Region 5 of types "Charitable" and "Non-profit Using Fiscal Sponsor", and get 19 results, of which 6 organizations are of interest.

    I select those 6, and then select from a "Pivot" option list including "Applications" and…

  16. The SmartFolder Link custom field allowed users to add a clickable folder link directly within a record. When clicked, it opened the associated SmartFolder in a modal window, providing quick access to documents without leaving the page.

    Use Cases:

    Quickly access client or project folders directly from the record.

    Enable workflow participants to view or manage related documents during task completion.

    Streamline processes such as document review, onboarding, or audits by embedding direct folder links into forms or workflows.

    Restoring the SmartFolder Link field would improve efficiency by providing seamless, in-context access to folders where related documents are stored.

  17. The platform was enhanced in recent years to support different display order numbers on a single custom field by Application Type.  This allowed us to finally be able position a single field in different positions on different forms.  It would be great if we could also support different captions for that one field by Application Type.  The only way to do this today is to create multiple fields for the same purpose and then use the value storage setting to store each discrete field to a master field for reporting purposes.

  18. In the February 2025 Update, Upload fields were updated to allow the transfer of files between Upload fields on the same form. This functionality should be extended such that files can be transferred between levels, and even UTAs. As an example, if we collect forms on an Application and want it posted to their Organization Profile, that has to be done manually right now.

  19. Please allow Batch Update to handle removal of Assigned Contacts based on role. The way it functions now, a name is required in order for Assigned Contacts to be removed. Doing a bulk removal via batch update based on role alone does not seem to work.

  20. When using the Assignment Grid—specifically the Reviewer Assignment Grid—it would be helpful to have features similar to Excel, such as the ability to hide columns or freeze panes. This would make it easier to scroll horizontally on smaller screens without losing track of which application you're viewing. It would also be useful to have the option to sort by specific columns, such as Application ID#.
