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…

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#.

Drag and drop application builder
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.

It is possible to do it in the list, but not yet on the form. We will monitor interest to determine if the priority rises for future consideration.

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.

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.

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,…

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…

Dynamic Visibility should copy over to new System Versions
Currently, when SmartVersioning is used, it will copy over all the fields in the Core version to the new version. It does not, however, copy over the dynamic visibility. So if the dynamic visibility changes between versions, you have to manually keep all of your dynamic visibilities updated to the newest versions. This is a pain when you have to manage dozens of dynamic visibility fields.
It would make more sense that, if a dynamic visibility is set to the Core version, that it automatically adds the new version that is stamped from the Core. If fore some reason this…

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

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 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.

Improve Global Search Functionality in Donor Portal by incorporating fuzzy search and typo tolerances
The search functionality for the end users is far too strict, to where you will get different results when using an apostrophe versus not using one. Being able to incorporate AI into this search or another method to simulate a fuzzy search will vastly improve the end user experience when using the search functionality.

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.

Permission Quick Edit: Security Matrix checkboxes for Fields
It would be really helpful to have the option in the various Security Matrix sections to toggle all the checkboxes on or off across for a particular field, not just down for a Role or Status.
And as we can do with the 3 dots in the header row to "Copy Row Settings", I'd like to be able to "Copy Field Settings".
Use Case: I have a similar update I'd like to make to a large number of new fields to remove all the current permissions and replace with updated permissions and need to go through each field and each…

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?

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.

Field Change History and Workflow History
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.
