T2P Project Based Tool Improvements Needed
Prior to promoting changes in the Target environment, we see a comparison log that is similar to what we see in the desktop T2P tool. However, it was not clear that all the changes were represented in the Export package. The comparison log could also include additional information that could make it more useful like Date Changed, Time Changed, User, etc. Additionally, there is no way to export or save the comparison log, and after promoting changes, it is no longer accessible.
After promoting changes to the target environment, we can see the Import Log, which in some cases, will…

Ability to train and use AI to review uploaded files
Add an ability to train AI to recognize the document we are requesting. Applicants can then get a warning that it doesnt look like they are uploading the correct document, and flag it for reviewers.
The next step would be to use AI to scan the uploaded documents for data and then use that data in the application without the user having to reenter information.

We are exploring multiple approaches to leverage external sources and documents with AI, as this capability is foundational to our overall strategy. This concept encompasses several potential AI use cases, including notifications and intelligent data consumption. We will monitor these ideas closely as we develop and iterate on new AI use cases.

On Full Flow Diagrams, the jumbled boxes showing Status, Workflow, and Buttons relationships should start in an initial arranged order
Full Flow diagrams start out as a jumbled mess which have to be sorted manually to get an idea of the overall picture. Can you present this diagram in an arranged order that shows the overall relationships clearly? A before and after example has been uploaded to show how it could be ordered. Statuses and buttons are aligned columnwise with buttons between statuses.

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…7 votes -
SmartFolder Direct Access Hyperlink
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.

Extended Ability to Transfer Files from one Upload Field to Another
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.

Message Queue: “To” field preserve the recipient email address used at send time (audit) / Point in time email address in the Message Queue
In the Message Queue, the “To” field currently displays the user’s current profile email, not the email address that was actually used when the message was sent. When a user updates their email address, historical messages appear as though they were sent to the new address, even when they were not. This makes it impossible to reliably determine which email address received a message at the time it was issued.
This is an issue for auditability, Freedom of Information (FOI) requests, privacy breach investigations, and resolving disputes about notification, delivery, or non‑receipt. A message log must be able to stand…6 votes -
Native integration with OpenAlex (Publication Search)
In our Grants and Fellowships programmes, we require our candidates to link their application to publicly available publications, papers, etc. as to build the State of Art, Methodology, etc. of their project.
Currently SmartSimple supports some Publication search engines natively (Scopus, Web of Science and PubMed as far as we are aware). These are all good resources, but there is a new source which is becoming more popular - OpenAlex -. As it stands, we are building a custom integration with their API for the Fellowships instance, but we would like to suggest that SmartSimple builds a native integration with…

Ability to report/extract/import description field in uploaded files
Currently, descriptions for uploaded files can be added. It will be helpful to be able to report on each uploaded files, with their description and upload date/time, and user. It will be helpful for staff/reviewers to be able to have a list of files that were uploaded, with the description at hand, as filenames may not be as descriptive.
Also, since file upload is available thru autoloader, it will nice to be able to add descriptions of files when uploaded thru autoloader.6 votes -
Replacement of Google reCAPTCHA with a more privacy-friendly alternative
At the moment SmartSimple does use Google reCAPTCHA v2 or v3 as a security measure on the system. The use of Google reCAPCTHA however raises privacy issues since Google uses the data (IP adresses, Browser and device, user info, cookies) for own purposes. Google collects more data than is neccessary for the functioning of the reCAPTCHA. The use of Google reCPATCHA v3 raises even more privacy issues since in v3 Google continously analyses online behaviour and users are not aware anymore that their online behaviour is analyzed.
We would like to have a more privacy friendly reCAPTCHA on the system,…

Map Advanced Data Tables - Static Sections
When a static section is required in an advanced data table, clients still want to be able to query the data across records. While technically they can in a report, the only way to make this more user friendly at the moment is to create hidden fields that are populated with template formulas or try to make the section dynamic and map to L2s.
It would be much more user friendly and make configuration easier if you could just map each applicable cell to a field on the same record level. This would reduce template formulas that have to run…

Keep original formatting of notes when using @notes@ in email notifications
Currently, when using the @notes@ token in email templates, all formatting (such as line breaks, bullet points, etc.) is lost and the note appears as one large paragraph.
The idea is to preserve the original formatting of the note so that it displays clearly in the email, exactly as it was entered in the system.

Advanced Data Table - Total Row Validation on dynamic advanced data table sections
Often times clients want to enforce a minimum or maximum amounts on certain columns such as request amount or match amount on an advanced data table total row. This currently isn't possible without passing the data to a static section. This makes validation tedious and time consuming to configure, but also more complicated for a client to edit and update later.
One should be able to use validation in the amounts in the total row only such as:
-Comparing the amount in one column to a field on the grant or linked cycle
-Comparing the amount in one total column…6 votes -
The ability to batch update Notes
It is possible to batch update for status, institutions, associated contacts (etc), but it is not possible to do it on Notes.

Navigation buttons on grant management application stage
For cost recovery applications. Currently in the desktop and mobile versions, the back and forth navigation arrow and next and back button are very small.
Application Stage:
Changing the left and right arrow navigation buttons for scrolling into bold arrows. In IOS and Android, it is very small; making it bold will help the user.
The NEXT and BACK buttons are on the bottom on both sides of the application page—changing this to bold will also be helpful for the SME.

Multiple Standard Field Update from single task
Just like when creating a workflow task allows updating multiple custom fields at once, the same functionality should apply to standard fields. Currently, updating each standard field requires a separate task. So, if I need to update 5 standard fields, I have to create 5 different tasks — whereas for custom fields, all changes can be made within a single task.

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.
