  1. The new file preview feature under multiple file upload field is very helpful, but users can still download files, and this option cannot be disabled.

    We suggest adding a role-based control to allow administrators to restrict file downloads (e.g., for volunteers or external reviewers, or in some cases, internal staff) while still allowing file preview.

    This way we can improve security, reduces risk of file being downloaded to user's own devices, and better supports data protection.

  2. Hashtags are a nice way to simply categorize records in SmartSimple. I think we can deliver more value if we can provide a UI for setting a hierarchy of categories and sub categories that allow you to categorize applications and also add any number of related sub categories as well.

    It would also be nice if this could be an AI-based feature that allows for automatic categorization dependent upon the application data. Categories and subcategories should also be addable to list views and reports.

    Value Add: This would allow you to create list views and reports that filter by categories…

  3. Improve the list view in the reporting module so that the listview is more like the advanced search list views on UTAs and can be configured locally. It should allow sorting and filtering on whether export is enabled, Category, UTA association etc

  4. In French, there should be a space between a preceding word and a colon. For example, "Last name:" in English would be translated as "Nom de famille :"
    However, when I add a space after "famille" in the translation field, the system does not save it and places the colon right beside the word famille, e.g., "Nom de famille:".
    How do I get the correct punctuation in French with a blank space before a colon?
    Support suggested I raise this issue in the Idea Lab.

  5. Add the ability to copy existing uploaded file(s) from one upload custom field to another anywhere in the system, with support for @triggerobject. syntax in multiple workflow triggers.

  6. System administrators cannot see where list views are set across the portal / dashboard. This creates a time consuming and tedious process where administrators need to tab through each list view on a dashboard to see where it's exposed before making a change.

    Example:
    1 list view is configured for 3 different portal components. In looking at the list view, an admin cannot see where the related portals are. 1 of the three portal list views needs an update, but the admin needs to go chase down and split out views so information is not inadvertently exposed on the 2…

  7. When the autoloader runs, it currently loads the data as it receives it as long as the data matches the field format. We are experiencing ongoing challenges because users are uploading data files with the Autoloader that do not meet our business rules and cause issues to downstream systems. Is it possible to add a feature that allows us to define validation rules for an autoloader file? so we can reject the data before it is loaded into SmartSimple?

  8. We have multiple grant application types. When I go to batch update a custom field (the caption of which may exist in several different applications with differing selection options) the batch update feature only shows the caption for the custom field, rather than a field ID, making it difficult to differentiate which field is correct if multiple fields share the same caption.

  10. When you create a L1 list view, you can include fields from the L1 owner.
    I would like to do the same for L2 and L3 list views (i.e. include L2 owner fields in L2 list views and include L3 owner fields in L3 list views).

  11. Batch update of contacts using "update" feature doesn’t run UTA assignment workflow, but “add” does. We’ve reverted to a two-step process to make personnel changes (e.g. new person filling in for old person) to add then remove as opposed to one-step update process for personnel changes because of the unintended consequences with UTA assignment workflow. Is this a platform bug? Or was it never built to trigger wf for updates

  12. 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.

  13. It would be useful to have a drag and drop type interface for allocating tasks or people where high volumes are involved. Examples include sharing hundreds to applications between a number of committee meetings or hundreds of review tasks between a number of reviewers

  14. We'd like to link Payments and Reports in a meaningful way to support automated Payment Status updates. We currently have a 'soft link' configured so that you can see required Reports and their approval status on a Payment record. But staff must manually update the Payment status once all associated Reports are in an Approved Status.

  15. UX on list view differs from profile. From list view, the next/last page sticks to top of page as you scroll. On dashboard, it doesn't and when you scroll down through results you lose the next/back buttons.

    Would be good to have similar functionality on "My Profile" that exists for list views

  16. (Re ticket #277463 - Tracking processing times)

    We have been asked to report on the length of time in review for monitoring the workload and efficacy of our staff.

    We have created a status duration report but it will not calculate the length of time in the current grant status. Yet, when we click on the status history for an individual file, it lists the length of time in each grant status including the current status.

    We basically want the numbers listed on the graph in the individual status history but in a table with all the other files.

  17. 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…

  18. 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.

  19. "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…

  20. 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
