Improved email alerts with Limited Submission label
Current email alerts for tracked opportunities (both for updates and for upcoming deadlines) do not specify if the opportunity is a limited submission or an internally coordinated opportunity. One must click on the link of the opportunity and open Pivot page to see if it is LS. We use the upcoming deadline email alerts as a way to know it is time to add our own internal deadline to the opp, and it is extremely inefficient to not be able to quickly see which opps are LS, and which are not from within the email message itself.

When users view a public curated search, it should function like a search result page so that they can further narrow the opps
Publicly-viewable curated searches would be much more useful to our users if, when they viewed the search, it looked more like a regular search results page, where users can further narrow and manipulate the results based on their own needs. They could use the narrowing features to the left (like only seeing opps in the list from federal agencies, etc.), and also if they could narrow to the last seven days to see what is new in the search.
This could hopefully also improve the newsletter feature and embedded search feature, because you could have the embedded search and the…

Improve phrase searching
When using quotes, include all terms, including stop words. For example, currently team and research are stop words, making a search for “team science” or “collaborative research” impossible.
Funding Type: Collaboration or Cooperative Agreement is a good start for this particular topic, but it’s not sensitive enough for our needs. For example, it misses Collaborative Sciences Award (Opp ID 169472), which is tagged only with funding type:Research.
6 votesThis is now upgraded. You can search phrases as: (team w/2 science) or “team science” – returns items that have the word team within two words of science or that contain the exact phrase mouse genome.

1 button access to a proxied, persistent URL for Pivot searches that all users (not just admin) can create and share
Easily obtain (through 1 click or 1 button) a proxied, persistent/stable URL for a Pivot search that can be shared with others at our institution who sign in via IP authentication. We are looking for an option to share Pivot searches that does NOT require Admin privileges, does NOT require specifying the email addresses of the folks with whom the search will be shared with, and also does NOT require users to create a separate Pivot account to create/share their searches (although they will need to sign in through our university). It is also very important that the provided permalink…

tracked opportunity deadline reminder
For tracked and set to active alerts, I would like to be able to set the deadline reminder to 4 months before the deadline. Currently you can only set the deadline reminder up to 3 months before the deadline. Limited competitions that require the institution to hold an internal selection process require more than 3 months to conduct the internal selection process and then submit a well thought through complete proposal,

Curated Search: edit after published
Once a curated search has been published, Pivot does not allow it to be edited (title or search criteria). It can be unpublished and deleted, but that will affect the html link that appears on our website, or the bookmarks of users. I would like to make changes without disturbing the web-link for these searches.

Split Citizenship/Residency into two separate Criteria
For the sake of our many international faculty and students, Citizenship and Residency should be two separate criteria so that Non-Us Citizens do not have to weed through those opps that are tagged as US even though they allow nonUS citizens to apply.

Filter opps by anticipated or confirmed
In funding searches, allow us to include or exclude opportunities based on Pivot's "confirmed" or "anticipated" deadline categorization.

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.

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.

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 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.

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?

Extend multiple result export feature to regular users
Currently admins can export multiple results as Excel, HTML, etc., but regular users can't. Please extend the feature to them.
