Offer Administrators the Ability to Delete Accounts/Profiles
There are many duplicate accounts at my institution that were created in error by a researcher that did not know they had an account already. This leads to many login errors and general confusion.
2 votesThis was released with our June release. In case you missed it, release notes can be found here: https://knowledge.exlibrisgroup.com/@api/deki/files/75018/2019_Pivot_July_2019_Release_Notes.pdf?revision=3

Dismiss an opportunity
It would be great to be able to dismiss an opportunity and have it hidden from view for the future. For example, if I search for limited opportunities for my campus, I get many hits and most are irrelevant. If I search again a week later, I get them all again. I would like to be able to check a box on an opportunity that will hide it from me or delete it from my future searches.
48 votesThis was a complicated feature but finally released.

Have private but sharable curated lists
I'd like to be able to save my own curated list that is not openly available to everyone who has access and allow to share with just key individuals. If I can pull some key information and create a list just of that topic, it would be helpful to me to share with collaborators.

Access Pivot from Cayuse. This would allow single sign on.
Currently we can access Cayuse from Pivot (if we find an opportunity in Pivot we can download it into Cayuse for submission) it would be nice if we could access Pivot from Cayuse, that way our family could use their single sign on and only have to manage one password instead of two.
2 votesThis has been completed by Cayuse. Pivot is accessible from within Cayuse.

Exporting Funding Opportunities
Currently there is no method to export funding opportunities into a nicely formatted PDF or Word document. It would be very helpful to be able to export funding opps into these formats in order to share with a group of faculty in a meeting. An actual document to pass around the table for discussion and planning would be great.
51 votesApologies for the long delayed change of status from planned to complete. The ability to export to a Word Document has long been in the product which allows for easy customization and conversion to PDF as well. If additional functionality is needed, please suggest via a new idea exchange entry.

Add sponsor to the calendar view
The new calendar view is great. It would help to have the sponsor available in the detail view since so many titles are generic (e.g., "research grants"). I recognize the need to limit the amount of content in this view, but having the sponsor would go a long way toward improving the scan-ability of the calendar results.

Allow Institutional Admins to Delete User Accounts
It would be great if admins could have more control over user accounts for their institution. Specifically, I would like to see admins be able to remove user accounts. At our institution, we have duplicate accounts, as well as accounts for users who have left the institution or are deceased.
8 votesThis is live after our July release.

Offer a flat file (spreadsheet/database) of our institution's profiles, for download.
I would love to be able to download spreadsheet of each of my institution's Pivot users' profiles I would then send them a survey that would ask for new keywords, recent publications, new areas of expertise, etc, and update the spreadsheet accordingly. (It would be made clear that responding to the survey would serve as consent to update respondents' Pivot profiles.) Then, I wonder if Pivot could use the data to automatically update profiles? If we not, we could do this in-house (again, with permission).
34 votesApologies for the delay, but this is just a long overdue update of the public status in the idea exchange from planned to "complete." For a few years now we do make a downloadable report available in the Admin Dashboard --> Reports --> Downloadable Profile report. The downloadable report includes information on users with user accounts and a list of researchers with profiles and includes information on user activity. If additional features are desired please open a new idea exchange idea.

Add a search parameter for "Last edited" date or "New" listings
Each listing in Pivot has a "Last edited" date but there isn't any way to search on this date. Alert results give a breakout for "Recently added in the last 7 days" but that is the only option. Searching by posted date would be useful to know what is new overall not just for a specific search.

Tracking and sharing of Conferences and Papers Invited is now supported. If Exporting is still important, please add a new idea.

Allow multiple administrators of newsletter
Allow for a newsletter to be accessed from multiple admin accounts.
25 votesNewsletter can be shared between Admins using the assign co-owner feature. When you "Create a Newsletter" step #6 allows you to choose any other Admins (with manage newsletter access) the ability to be a co-owner and co-administer of a newsletter.

Select which (and how many) opportunities display in a newsletter from a curated list
The newsletter feature is very helpful, and attracts attention. By default it displays 25 opportunities in alphabetical order. These 25 displayed items may not be the most prioritized in the list. The ability to select a 'Top 10' items to be displayed in the newsletter would help to further customize this tool.

Intermediate Proxy Admin Feature for Support Staff
Administrative personnel need the ability to help faculty in their respective areas or departments, to help faculty update their profiles on an on-going basis. Currently, Pivot offers this as an admin feature on a global scale, where anyone with this capability can make changes to ALL our institutional accounts. Can this feature be modified to narrow down the scope of access?
Please refer to InfoReady's proxy feature. It has been extremely useful to us. Can you apply something like that to Pivot?

Enable multiple curated lists to be sent using the Newsletter feature. Current selection is limited to one list
We want to send our Healthcare Sciences faculty a monthly newsletter using opportunities from 2 or 3 curated lists, all at once. Can only select one curated list to send at present, and want to avoid sending multiple newsletters by discipline at least for right now.

Add the option of rolling deadlines or no specific deadline for internal funding
Some internal funding opportunities accept applications year round. Currently, the only option is to select a set date but once the set date is passed, the funding opportunity disappears. Instead of constantly projecting the date or resetting it, it would be helpful to offer the option of setting deadline to "Open or year round"
12 votesThis feature will be live with our December 2018 release (currently scheduled for Dec 4). Stay tuned for release notes for more details.

Add Fields in the Internal Funding
An 'Eligibility' field would be helpful. Also update the citizenship/residence drop down to include "Other" or "Not Required"

Add the ability for users to add items to the deadlines dropdown list
Internal Funding - include the ability to add types to the dropdown list in deadlines. (i.e. items that are specific to the institution.) For example, prior to the grant application, we have a required deadline for faculty to create a Box folder within the Office of Sponsored Programs Box so we would want to have the option to select OSP Box deadline instead of selecting Other, which is generic and not specific enough.
