  1. Whenever I emulate a user, all of my tabs within SmartSimple disappear and I'm reset back to my default home page. I need to be able to flip quickly between emulating and making changes, and not need to open multiple new tabs and navigate back to where I was.

  2. In the new UX design (implemented with the October 2025 upgrade), we lost visibility to the key icon on the Contact Profile showing whether a contact has access or not. Instead, we now have to click Actions and either see "Enable Login Access" or "Disable Login Access" as the only indicator of whether the person has login access or not.

    Please bring the key icon back — we relied on it for quick, easy, reliable confirmation of the contact's login capabilities.

  3. Improve Lists display by adding the possibility to freeze the first row of column titles
    Such as in Excel : add the prossibility to freze the first row of a list to keep the right column title on top when we scroll down

  4. 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.

  5. The columns on advanced data tables, and other sections of SmartSimple, are limited to Small Medium Large XLarge (or equivalent). This isn't great, and they also regularly don't work because the text fields become the adjustable ones anyway. It would be better to be percentages and all fields in a column/row to follow on from their header. The boxes could then still be adjustable, but start at the relevant size. The aesthetic is quite poor currently.

  6. 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

  7. It would be beneficial to implement a notification system for users who have attempted to log in too many times, informing them that their account is locked for a certain number of minutes. Currently, there is no way to inform them.

    Perhaps a 'pop-up' message on the login page would be the most effective solution.

  8. Implement a global search feature that enables users to search by grant name, user name, or organization name. When a user is searched, the results should include:

    A direct link to the user’s profile

    Links to all organizations the user is affiliated with

    A list of all grants associated with the user

    This enhancement would streamline navigation and improve access to relevant information across the platform.

    This search may be surfaced in the header and should take advantage of the OpenSearch work being done to ensure the fastest performance.

  9. Contracts and collaborative documents across the grant and partnership lifecycle are currently managed primarily through Word documents shared via email. This creates challenges with version control, including multiple document versions, parallel edits, and manual consolidation of changes. Collaboration is fragmented, resulting in limited visibility into document updates, no single source of truth, and limited auditability of changes and negotiations. In addition, the process creates administrative pressure on a small legal function, and contracts are largely managed outside the SmartSimple platform, leading to duplicated documentation and limited traceability.

    To address this, improved collaboration functionality is needed. The solution should allow documents…

  10. The ability to select multiple item in a list view by clicking the first item and shift clicking the last item to select a range of records instead of individually clicking each one would be very helpful.

  11. 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

  13. Is there a reason you included a document upload field in the "Interaction" L2 form that appears in our Activities list of the L1 application forms, but didn't include any way to view or download documents uploaded there?

    Enquiring minds want to know.

  14. On the L2 view within the L1, there are two scroll bars on the right and then a bottom scroll bar below all the L2s. if there are many L2s on the list, one would have to scroll all the way down to move the scroll bar to the right. It would be nice to have the bottom scroll bar be static on the page.

  15. Currently: When 'Enable Multiple Address' is enabled (on org or user profile), the Address field's caption remains locked to "Primary Address"; updating the standard field caption for Address or Address Type doesn't change it.

    Use Case: Client might set a different default address type, such as "Mailing Address" (which they can configure in Address Types), and they want the caption to display as Mailing Address.

    Request: To allow the address field caption to be customized when using the Multiple Address feature.

  16. Please add the following functions/features to listviews for the revamped Interactions tabs for both Users and Organizations:

    1. Make the column widths adjustable with mouse drag or in column configuration specification

  18. I would like to be able to give users the ability to copy an existing system listview and save it as a personal listview.

    Currently, a system list view can only be copied if a user has EDIT access to it. This access is only granted if you are a UTA Admin or a Global Admin.

    My users are not system admins or UTA admins for Grant Manager, so they do not have the ability to EDIT or copy a system list view.

    So, I would like users to be allowed to copy a system list view without needing edit…

  20. Options for allow for more than 100 but not all on the items per page picker. Often, even when filtered, there are hundreds of results and the option to pick more that 100 but not all is necessary.
