Make 'Subject' in emails from pivot-trackedalert@proquest.com specific rather than generic
When university admin adds/updates university specific information e.g. deadline or Note, an email is sent from pivot-trackedalert@proquest.com. Emails sent out from this email address all have the same generic subject 'Update from Pivot-RP'.
When an email is sent from pivot-no-reply@proquest.com (following an opportunity updated by Pivot-RP), the subject line includes the name of the funder eg 'Updated Funding Opportunity - American Heart Association (AHA)'
Is there some way to edit the subject so that emails advising on an internal update also pick up the scheme name?
Without some information as to what has been updated the emails are not…

Publications
For Publications, you currently take information from ONLY ORCID, however Computer Science faculty, they use https://dblp.uni-trier.de/, it would be great if you can add this as default.

Auto hyperlinks to URL for More Information within Excel Sheets
I've recently been exporting selections from my curated lists to Excel sheets. However, the "URL for More Information" field does not immediately work for me or for other administrators who have "tested" it. We have to juggle between clicking on the opportunity Sponsor column and the More Information column to finally get it to somehow hypelink. It's frustrating and time consuming to say the least. Can this be scheduled as an enhancement for users?

Tracking system for Submission of a New Opportunity
When we submit a New Opportunity, there is no follow up if it gets posts. Could there be a tracking/ticketing system so we know when that opportunity is posted?

"Push" InfoReady Competitions to Pivot
It would be super neat if admins could "push" competitions (especially internal funding competitions") into Pivot, so that we don't have to manually enter internal funding opportunities if we have InfoReady, we'd just need to push certain information into the partner system. I would enter a lot more internal funding opportunities into the Pivot database if there were an easier way for me to take competitions that are listed/posted in InfoReady and "push" certain data from those competitions into Pivot, so that they show up in our users' searches.

Allow users to sub-filter curated lists and searches
Sharing curated lists and searches is helpful, but sometimes they are still too big or broad to be useful for everyone. It would be great if users could further filter them. Right now that does not appear to be possible.
3 votesFor Curated Searches users will be able to link to view as a Search Result. This will allow the user the further narrow, filter, refine and save the search to their liking.

Import publications/integration
Develop a way to integrate with additional tools such as Digital Measures. Our faculty use that program much more extensively than they do ORCID and it would be nice to be able to import their publications from that system.

Add extra information to opps in Tracked Opp List
When opportunities appear in the Tracked Opp list , it is only the opportunity name that shows, which can be difficult when multiple opportunities have similar names, e.g. "Research Fellowship".
It would be beneficial to see additional opp detail in this list, especially funder information, in order to differentiate between similarly named opps, and to be consistent with other parts of Pivot-RP

Allow more than three key words in a search
It would be nice to be able to use as many keywords as needed in a funding search. We are creating curated searches for specific research areas and in order to get the results we want it requires the use of more than three keywords. It would be nice to be able to capture everything in one search rather than have multiple searches to serve the same group. For instance, there are many different keywords to capture relevant opportunities in quantum science and engineering, but having to choose only three forces a choice that leaves out many relevant opportunities. It…

Please make the Notes field expandable so that more of note can be viewed.
The scrolling function for the small amount of visible text is extremely sensitive which makes editing in a long note very difficult.

Filter grant opportunities *after* they have been Tracked and/or shared to a Curated List
The filters available when performing searches in Pivot-RP are very detailed and helpful; however, I (and the researchers at my department) also need to be able to filter the grant opportunities after they have been Tracked and/or shared to a Curated List. For example, if several hundred opportunities are being tracked, shared, and compiled into lists, the ability to filter these by the same search filters available, that is, Funder, Amount, Deadlines (with options of selecting "7 days from today", "14 days", "30 days", "90 days", "180 days", or the customizable "Select from calendar" option), Limited Submission, Applicant/Institution Location, Activity…

Delineate between low, medium and high value 'unspecified' values.
If the value of an opportunity is below say $9,999, between $10K-$49,999 or >$50k in a currency they could be grouped, so that we can filter out low value unspecified opportunities, but not miss the high value ones.
For many researchers their search contains a high number of unspecified value opportunities, and to manually go through all of these to see if they are of high enough value to be of interest for Mid and Established researchers is off-putting for researchers.
If there was a filter by value group, they could only include ones of high value, and filter out…

Disable "Funding News for [Name]" Heading in Newsletter
Whenever sending out a newsletter, there’s a “Funding News for [name]” heading at the top of the email. It would be great if there could be an option to create a more specific title (or get rid of the heading entirely). If these newsletters are being sent and forwarded to various groups, the reference to one person's name is misleading (even if the heading and custom message is personalized).

Residencies
It would be helpful to be able to exclude or include in the advanced search whether a fellowship opportunity is a residency or does not need to take place in a specific location. If not there, then in the drill down menu along with the search results.

Role vs Title in Profiles
Add an optional text field for Title in addition to the required Role field. Currently in Gallery, I designate which profiles to include by Role. Many faculty have Titles they use in the Role field. Example, Dr. Smith could be a Professor (Role) and Associate Vice Chancellor for Research (Title). I want both to appear in their profile to help ensure I am capturing all faculty by role.

Keywords should be linked in a way to search across profiles and promote connecting users.
Within the profile detail, any keyword should be a link to the search results for that very keyword. Even better, it could be a link to a listing of users who have also included that same keyword.
I understand that you can do this manually with the advanced search, but why not automate it and help make connections easier.
