I cannot find or submit a feature request: check these five things, in order

Every SmartSuite user on every plan can search, vote and post in the Idea Exchange.

  1. Where the bubble is. The messenger bubble sits in the lower-right corner of the Home or Account page; open View/Request New Feature. See Where do I submit a feature request?.

  2. An existing request. Search keywords first; vote and comment instead of posting a duplicate. See Search first.

  3. The status. Open, Under Review, Planned, In Progress or Complete; filter by My Own. See Status filters.

  4. Updates. You get an email when the status changes; the bell icon lists notifications. See What happens after I submit?.

  5. A bug, not a feature. Bugs go to support; see Report a bug: what to include.

Still stuck: select the chat button in the lower-right corner of SmartSuite. The last block of the panel shows the service status, and Send a message in the same panel reaches support. Include the request title and what you expected. Bugs are reported as described in Report a bug: what to include.
