Fix the Advanced Search feature
Fix the Advanced Search feature with the following improvements:
- open the search in a modal window so we can see all the criteria in the search
- provide functionality to change the order of criteria
- Include previously used queries dropdown (either customizable or most recent X queries)
- return the closing parenthesis
- add a "power user" option for people to include their own SQL queries14 votesMonitoring Interest ·

Good usability suggestions, the only item not under consideration is the last one with the ability to leverage a user's SQL

Defining reply-to email address at email template level
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 practical14 votes -
Ability to Hide/Sort/Freeze columns in the Assignment Grid (Reviewer Assignment Grid)
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#.

List Display : freeze the first row
Improve Lists display by adding the possibility to freeze the first row of column titles

Rich Text Editor - Resizable Window
With the Smart Simple October 2025 Update to the Rich Text Editor, the window is no longer resizable.
The specific field type for the Rich Text Editor is: Special - Rich Text. It would be ideal if the window has the ability to be resized both vertically and horizontally.
An example of text windows that are fully adjustable are those with the "Text Box - Text Multiple Lines" field type, and the Width is set to "Full" under the display options (Width), allows for both horizontal and vertical adjustment

We are enhancing our AI capabilities including a data lake and RAG to consume structured and unstructured data to leverage across a wide range of use cases. Can you provide any specific examples for us to consider as we are focusing on delivering specific use cases.

Add option to display data as percentages on charts.
Currently, we only have the option to display data on charts as counted totals. We would like to be able to display data as percentages on these charts for evaluation purposes.

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…

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"

Ability to change information in the invitation window on an application once an invited person has accepted
Once a person has been invited to an application and has accepted the invitation, it would be helpful if system administrators had the ability to edit information in the invitation window—such as correcting the spelling of a name or email address. It's common for the person sending the invitation to make small mistakes, and they often reach out to us for corrections after the invitee has accepted. Currently, the only way to fix these errors is to delete the invitation and re-invite the person, which is inefficient.

Improvement to the API services
The current API services offered by SmartSimple are confusing in the response our team receives when calling them. For example:
- If there are missing variables in the call, it will respond a 200 - OK in almost all circumtances.
- If there is an incorrect variable (for example, report instead of reportid), the API will reply a 401 error in the body of the response - which indicates the user does not have authorization to that report, when the error is that the variable was incorrectly parsed in the URL.As our system becomes more connected with other platforms,…

Enable download option from listviews for Upload - Image fields
The current functionality within listviews allows the user, if the option is enabled, to request the download of the files in a specific Upload - Multiple file storage field to a ZIP file.
This functionality is not currently available for the field type Upload - Image. We would like to have this option available, as the current workaround requires the configuration of 2 API services and short script to get the same result.

Versioning
Currently, SmartVersioning does not allow you to copy versions you create. You can only create new versions that pull in the base core fields.
This makes it very difficult to iterate on yearly application form changes.
The best practice from SmartSimple is to make changes at the Core Field level until it matches what you want, then save those changes as a version. However, this makes it very difficult to manage versions in practice.
For instance, my foundation has three Level 1 Grant Types and every year we make revisions to the application forms. Last year I created Scholarship Application…

Ability to cancel List View Loading
The List View now loads asynchronously with the rest of the page, which is beneficial because if there is a slow loading List View, it is possible to escape to another page (such as the List View settings). A further improvement to the use of List Views would be to be able to cancel a List View that is currently loading. This would allow for the editing of search terms, filters, and the number of records being displayed in order to speed up searches and system navigation.

The October release is targeting a smart search feature to improve performance on list views; however, this initial release has limited availability and is targeted for GA in the February release.

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

Improve Custom Field Type: Text Box - Date
Improve the Custom Field Type "Text Box - Date" by adding the possibility to enter a range of selected dates. Today it is only possible to add a default value into the Calendar but for example it is not possible to prevent the client from selecting a date prior to the default value date. The proposition would be to have the possibility to add a range of predefined date: the client could select dates only within the specified perid of time added in the range.

Ability to Search Lookup - Autocomplete Field Options in Batch Update
When using the batch update for a Lookup - Autocomplete custom field having the ability to search the list of options is helpful when navigating a long list of options. Currently you must scroll through the alphabetical list which is time consuming and prone to errors.

Add inline editing ability to list views
Users often need to make quick, minor updates to individual record fields where batch updates are not practical. The current Quick Edit functionality does not fully meet this need, as it involves multiple clicks and modal windows, creating unnecessary friction.
Introducing inline editing within the list view would allow users to modify fields directly, without navigating away or opening additional screens. This streamlined approach would significantly reduce effort and improve efficiency for small, targeted changes and is a feature currently offered in other software suites

Rich Text in Email Templates

This is a known issue that will be addressed soon via a new variable syntax. In the meantime, disable rich text editor when editing emails with sslogic.
