  1. 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.

  2. All grantees are required to complete an application for every grant, regardless of how it is initiated. Need to be able to send grant requests that start in the donor portal in CommunitySuite into SmartSimple in a pre-approval status so that applicants can complete an application.

  3. When a UTA is using SmartVersioning, I would like to be able to add the @version@ information in reports (similar to what you can do in list views)

  4. When running a report on an Organization Profile with address book enabled, it seems that it is only possible for the report to return one address (the one designated as primary).

    In our configuration we have allowed users to enter 1 record for each address type: Mailing and Physical. The idea is that they might have a physical location but prefer to get mail at a PO Box, for instance.

    Only the Mailing Address fields show up when a report is run with the Company dataset. It would be great to somehow get a report to display each address type…

  5. 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.

  6. We build funding applications using SmartVersions. Sometimes we have a minor update to a SmartVersion we would like to make for a future competition but want to keep the original SmartVersion as well. It would be great if we could Copy or Save As a SmartVersion the same way you can Copy or Save As a Custom Field so we don't have to start from scratch each time.

  7. We are running into a limitation whereby applicants/users have a need to change their email addresses on a semi-regular basis. Researchers move institutions frequently enough and when doing so they will receive new email addresses.

    This often leads to duplicate accounts if they need to reset their password and don't have access to their original email address at the previous institutions. Additionally, if they don't remember having created an account and then register under their new email address, this bypasses the duplicate check. Lastly, using the email address limits the ability to update the email address without making their account…

  8. Fix the left hand column in the report builder which tells you which row is the dataset, field, field ID etc. so if you add multiple columns and have to scroll to the right, you can still see what each row is for

  9. The Object ID can be included in reports, however it would also be useful if the object name could be included too - for example, Workflow, Custom Filed, UTA Name, etc.

    We have created a report to track and reference changes within the system, based on notes that are entered onto the object (we have created a specific category of notes to accommodate this). We can run a report that lists all the changes, but the only the numeric object ID is included - if the object name/description could also be included it would be extremely helpful in determining what…

  10. We have several groups of Organizations saved as a "Mailing List", for easily pulling the list or to send a group email. It would be really helpful to have the option to select one of those mailing lists when inviting a group of organizations to a Funding Opportunity in the Program Manager.

    The steps could be to select a radio button option: 1. Add Organization, or 2. Add Group. When selecting the Group option, the drop-down menu of mailing lists is available to select a group of organizations that then can be added to the Funding Opportunity all at once.

  11. Allow Search results let the user select one or more records and click a "Pivot" option to show a listview of L1, L2, and/or CRM records that have a connection to the selected items.

    Use Case:
    I want to know about funded projects completed by some (not all) of the organizations from Region 5 that use fiscal sponsors. So I filter for organizations in Region 5 of types "Charitable" and "Non-profit Using Fiscal Sponsor", and get 19 results, of which 6 organizations are of interest.

    I select those 6, and then select from a "Pivot" option list including "Applications" and…

  12. When building a linear workflow, there's some additional config overhead that could be removed if we had a "auto-connect" feature in workflow tasks that connected first task in firing order to the next (and so on and so forth) until the end

  13. It would be nice to have a single place to manage all translations: User Roles, Types, Status, Standard Fields, Custom fields, Submit Buttons, Tasks, List Views, Portals, Shortcuts...
    1) See, per language, existing translations and which translations are missing
    2) Batch delete of translations
    3) Export, per language, all translations in a single Excel file, reimport the same file with updated translations

  15. It is possible to batch update for status, institutions, associated contacts (etc), but it is not possible to do it on Notes.

    Is there something I am overlooking? :)

  16. Currently, some categories (e.g., "Sub-Organisations") appear in the left-hand side menu even when they are not used. For instance, when adding organisations, the "Sub-Organisations" category is not relevant, yet it cannot be removed. The system should allow administrators to hide or delete categories that are not applicable to improve usability and reduce menu clutter.

  17. More options for colour coding

    We would like to see expanded options for colour coding in the system. For example, it would be helpful to colour code each project’s overall risk assessment in the list view — using red for high risk, amber for medium, and green for low.

    As an alternative (or complement), a traffic light–style visual indicator could be added to improve quick scanning and enhance usability.

  18. Field Change History should be logged whenever data is updated through Autoloader or by workflows triggered via Autoloader, to ensure a complete audit trail. Autoloader should include a configurable setting that enables Field Change History tracking, similar to the existing capability available through API functions.

  20. Currently, the "File from Local Disk" option is only available on the Message Center email. It'll be useful to have the option to select a file from the local disk when using Group Emails, also.
