Customize Newsletter Times
Right now, newsletters can only be scheduled to go out in AM / PM. This is confusing because the system doesn't specify what time AM and PM is. It would be great if the system could allow people to schedule newsletters to go out at specific times (e.g. 10 AM),or at least specify what times AM and PM are (e.g. is AM is 9 AM, PM is 12 PM, etc). It would also be great, though this is less of an issue, if people were able to send newsletters on the day of creating them.
1 voteThe on-screen instructions around timing will be clarified with our December release to specify when newsletters are sent in EST/GMT time zones. Newsletters are sent in batches twice daily depending on the time/date selected by the admin.

Please add "Sort by Relevance" as an option for an embedded search
I think it would be a good idea to have the embedded search appear exactly the same as a saved search so the "Sort by Relevance" option should be implemented

Bi-weekly (twice monthly) newsletter option
Currently there is only a weekly or monthly option for a newsletter. Weekly may bee too frequent for some faculty while monthly could cause an opportunity to slip through the cracks.

Add sponsor name to shared opportunity
The email that goes out when we share an opportunity has the title of the funding program only. I suggest you include the sponsor name as well.
For example, I recently shared an opportunity from a large company that was called "University Research Awards". If the name of the company was included, researchers would have a clearer idea of what the opportunity was about. In this case, many assumed it was an internal competition.1 voteThis was resolved with our last release. When sharing a single opportunity you should see funder/sponsor names in addition to the opportunity title.
If you are sharing a batch of opportunities, you will see a link to view all opportunities in Pivot-RP. We don’t list out all the opportunities in the email body.

Automatically remove "Expired" listings from curated lists.
Currently the only way for an expired listing to be removed from a curated list is for an Admin to sort through the list, find all that have expired, and manually "delete" them. If an opportunity expires and is removed from Pivot it should also automatically be removed from a curated list, or at least an admin should have the option to turn on automatic deletion if desired.
4 votesAs of our last release, there is now a “delete all expired” option on tracked opportunity lists and curated lists.

Please allow administrators to share permissions with other administrators to add to their already existing curated lists.
Please allow administrators to share permissions with other administrators to add to their already existing curated lists. I work with a team of three and each of us are administrators who would like to not only curate our own lists, but have permissions to let other administrators add to or make changes to these lists when necessary. I understand that others that are "users" can see curated lists with no editing rights, but we really want to be able to have other administrators add to our curated lists so this is a "team effort" in curating the best lists for…

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.

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.

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).
37 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.

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.

This was part of our public groups feature. We have had this live for a while, so apologies for not updating the status sooner. Please let us know if you need more information on “public groups.”

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"

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.
