"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.

Export and save Awarded Grant data
Ability to save Awarded Grant searches and export results. Visualizations or additional facets to make this data more flexible would also be great!

Add "match any/match all" choice to keyword field in Conferences and Papers Invited
Similar to how it works for funding opportunities, it would be useful to toggle to "match all" in the keyword field for Conferences and Papers Invited to narrow down results.

Create a search widget for Profiles to add to websites
Like funding opportunities has a widget, have a widget available for faculty to search for collaborators that admins can embed into websites.

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.

Incorporate machine learning into Advisor Alert algorithm
It would be wonderful to build a feedback mechanism for the Advisor Alerts system and incorporate machine learning based on that input. For instance, a scholar could get an Advisor Alert email, mark or dismiss opportunities as they see fit and have that data utilized by the system to create better results for the individual researcher.

Multiple Editing/Management Rights for Internal Grants
Right now, only the person who added an internal grant can delete or edit that opportunity. Anyone else with full administrative rights in Pivot cannot manage the internal grant opportunities added by others. This creates a problem when that person leaves the job that bore the responsibility of adding those internal grants, thus requiring that all those opportunities must be deleted and added to another administrative account. It would be a great help to allow anyone with full administrative rights the ability to manage all internal grants.

Search criteria should specify the LOI date. If LOI date has past, the proposal dates don't matter!
If we are able to specify a date range that is specific to the LOI, then we can generate RFAs that the PI is eligible to apply for in that date range. As it is now, when we specify a date range, the results indicate proposal dates that fall w/in that range which are irrelevant if you missed the LOI date.

Share paper opportunities
We would like to be able to have the same share option for the paper opportunities as we do with the funding opportunities.

daily alerts
I would love to be able to choose to receive my funding alerts on a daily basis rather than a weekly basis. Sometimes the turnaround time for deadlines is so short that a week away is valuable time lost. Thanks! Hilda

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.

List users by college or department
I'd like to be able to sort my list of users (as listed under User Accounts and New Accounts) by College so that we can track activity by College.

Additional Sorting Criteria for Awards
Would it be possible to add additional sorting criteria (or filters) to search results for awards? Relevance and Institution are currently available as sorting criteria. I would love to see other ones like date, dollar amount, or PI. Even though search results are not necessarily complete (that's just the nature of the beast), I can see there being lots of uses for searching awards that use the proposed criteria, for example to see what funding a particular researcher has secured over time.

OPT-IN Groups: User/Admin notification
I have created a number of public opt-in groups. As the Admin, I would like to have an automatic notice when a User signs up for the group. I would also like the User to receive an automated email explaining what to expect and where to view the listings. Is that possible?

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.

Include internal deadlines in Calendar view
The Calendar feature is great. Would be better if it included the internal deadlines we add as well as the agencies' deadlines.

Percentage on Relevance
When a user sort by relevance, it is very helpful to show the percentage of the relevance.
NSF funding opportunity provides the percentage of relevance.11 votes -
Funding opp matches to profiles at institution
When viewing a specific opp, and you select the option at the right side where it matches to "# from inside your institution," allow us the "Refine Search" option on the results page, the same way we do on a profile or funding search.
