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,…

Fix the left hand column in report builder
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

Make the duplication check functionality separate form the record merge functionality
Right now, any users that have access to the duplicate organization check also have the ability to merge organization records. It's too risky to give all of our end users the ability to merge records, but we do want the duplication check functionality. Right now we required them to manually search for an organization before making a new record, but they often forget to do that. If we could split the duplication check from the merge record functionality and assign the access separately, it could make things much easier for us.

User Emulation - Add granular role-based privileges
At present, the settings for user emulation do not allow for granular role-based permissions. For example, there is no feature to restrict which other roles a user role can emulate. It would be incredibly useful for our staff to be able to emulate grantee user accounts. Unfortunately, we currently cannot enable this feature for them, as it allows them to emulate all other roles which includes higher-level users.
Something like "Roles this role can EMULATE" (reference attached image) would be incredibly useful.

Reduce Configuration Requirements for Word Merge
There are clients who leverage the word merge field to consolidate data across multiple L2s (often grant reports) under a grant application and map it to a word template. The configuration for this is very syntax heavy and leverages a lot of list syntax and/or report property syntax.
The amount of effort to support clients with this functionality often warrants an RFS. It would be nice to have a UI for selecting the L2s and the fields to be included in the word template. Some HTML work will still be required but perhaps we can eliminate the need for list…

Rich Text Editor - Add Header option
The old Rich Text Editor had the option to add headers to text without using tags. It would be ideal if this functionality could be added back into the new Rich Text Editor. This would save our users a lot of time.

Email Reminder Upgraded Feature
While I love the new upgraded reminder function on emails, the limited selection of reminders is frustrating. There are a lot of choices for reminders on upcoming tasks but only 1 Day After and 3 Days After for a choice on overdue email reminders. It would be really nice if we could also set up a wider selection of Overdue email reminders.

SmartSimple - export advanced data fields
When you create a listview that includes advanced data table displays, they are nested into a single excel cell. It would be great if there was an easy way to export out data from advanced data tables so they are parsed into individual cells.

Advanced Data Table Dynamic Sections Options to Hide the Plus and Minus Buttons without Scripting
Currently if columns in an XML should be updated in say a progress report, but rows shouldn't be able to be deleted or added, the +/- buttons on the dynamic section have to be hidden with custom script. Instead it would be great if there was a setting on each dynamic section to hide the +/- buttons based on status and/or role - perhaps a visibility condition like we have for edit conditions on the column? This would make initial configuration and ongoing changes easier.

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.

Message when Excel Parser is still Processing
When the excel parser runs, it's always been running in the background. It would be nice if there was a message of some sort on the upload field to indicate that the parser is still working and when the parser has finished parsing. It could be a circle or something, but there needs to be a message to indicate the parser is still working. Otherwise when users try to interact with the records that have been parsed, it looks like it didn't finish even though it just needs more time.

Allow for accounts to be created/accessed with either a Username or Email Address
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…

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.

Data Retention Policy Updates
We need the ability to upload new files after previous files have been removed through the data retention policy. To support this, it may be necessary to introduce an additional retention option—for example, an option that removes the file/data but unlocks the field for new uploads, as opposed to the current setting that simply removes the file/data.
A typical use case is annual reporting, where applicants are required to submit fresh documentation each year in the same report. In these scenarios, the field must be cleared according to retention rules, but still remain open for new uploads moving forward.

"Lookup - Organization and People" fields updated via workflow task
It would be helpful if "Lookup - Organization and People" field type could be updated via workflow task. Currently, If you try to add this field in an "Update custom field value task" you get a message "Not Records Found".
In a process where an organization is moved to a specific status and some fields are updated via workflow, it would be nice to also be able to update the "Lookup - Organization and People" ones.

System Filters Availability to non-Global Admins
Currently, non-Global Admins can only view Personal filters on UTAs/People/Org Filter dropdown. They can see and select the system filters on a list view.
Requesting an enhancement to make the system filters be role permission-based (Example: "Search Filters and Email Templates - Manager") and remove the global admin requirement.
Expected behaviour: System filters available to non-Global Admins under the Filter dropdown. See Attachment

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…

Enable deletion of non-relevant categories in the system
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.
