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…

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…

Please let us choose timing for sending newsletter
Hi Pivot-RP Team,
Could you please allow us to specify more delivery times for sending newsletters. The system allows us to send newsletters at two USA time zones which coincides with 9pm and 4am Australia time, hence it lowers visibility counts by users. Therefore we need to send newsletters during working hours of Australian timing zone.
Regards,

More options regarding frequency to receive funding alerts
There should be a broader menu of options on how often to receive a funding alert. Right now, it's every Sunday.
The faculty at my institution would like a once per month option. Once per week is overwhelming for them and results in too many emails. We're a small university and don't have departmental staff to help faculty sift through all of the results.
Thus, a drop down bar that allows users to choose their frequency would be best: maybe daily, weekly, every two weeks and monthly.

Allow administrators to hand pick the first 15 opps that show up in newsletter searches/lists
It would be useful if administrators could individually select the first 15 opportunities in searches/lists that appear on newsletters (as only the first 15 opportunities show up). Right now, you can filter searches by deadline, funding amount, etc - allowing personalized selection would go well with these options. Thank you for your consideration!

Add Institution Type Criteria to Advanced Searches to Ensure Eligibility
It was brought to my attention that the SPIN database allows users to make selections regarding "Institution Type" (or something like that) when creating an advanced search. We realized that since we don't have this capability, we really ought to be adding a disclaimer to the curated searches we share, because there's no way to ensure that the list includes only opps that our institution is eligible to apply to. It would be helpful for Pivot to begin tracking and labeling this criteria for opportunities, especially those that are eligible only to MSIs or HBCUs.

Schedule weekly emails differently
I would like to change the schedule of weekly alerts, for example, instead of firing during the weekend, I would like to receive it in other days during the week. Is there any way to control the weekly email digest?

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.

Flag when an opp appears in a saved/curated search/list
I often want to know if the particular opp I am viewing already appears in a saved search, curated search, or curated list. The current way to do this is to move the opp to a new tab (to keep track of the exact title, ID number, etc.) and then slog through individual searches/lists to see if the opp appears in each.
To make this situation more user friendly, on each opp page, please add an "Appears In" list of saved/curated searches/lists. (This would probably fit best below the "Send feedback" link in the right-side menu.) It would be most…

Default Search List to 200
Default search or tracked opps results-list to 200 opportunities, rather than 25, so that one can easily scroll through the full list quickly, rather than taking the extra step to choose the larger list. What's the purpose of having a "short" page, rather than simply showing the max?

Newsletters
It would be great if Newsletters had increased customization options. For example, a great function would be to customize the curated opps content. I'd like to remove/move curated opps from outgoing Newsletters. For example, I have worked on curating a set of funding opps with various deadlines. When I add the curated list to the Newsletter, I don't have the ability to remove opps from displaying on the Newsletter - say that I only want to show opps with deadlines in Q2 for a Spring Newsletter, so that I'm only displaying a handful of results rather than the entire list.…

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?

notification when the opportunity has been viewed before
Either a tag/notification next to the program title or a filter on the left-hand side so I can choose to “view all” or only “view unread” and filter out opportunities that have been read before.

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).

Provide tracked opps the same features as saved searches
Provide tracked opportunities the same features and functionality of a saved search. This means including the names of the funders in addition to the program grant name and allowing users to drill down to get more specific lists such as "Deadline Certainty," "Funding Types," "Funder Types," etc.

lnternal Deadlines included in sort
Currently when sorting a search by deadline only the funder dates that are editorially entered by Pivot-RP show up. If I add an earlier internal deadline this shows up on the listing but NOT in the sort. I would like manually entered deadlines (that are usually the "soonest") to be the date that a search uses as the earliest deadline. If we have a limited submission competition for example, I want that due date to show up as the "soonest" in a sort list.
