UI Design Enhancement for Faster Application Navigation

We've redesigned the Optible experience from the ground up. Every screen has been rethought to help you work faster, find what you need sooner, and stay focused during assessments.
Here's what's new.
A cleaner homepage
Your grants are now front and centre when you log in. If you manage multiple grants, they're all listed on the homepage. If you only have one, you'll skip straight to the application list with no extra clicks.
Everything related to your grant lives on the left-hand side, and your personal settings are grouped together in one place. Switching between grants is now just a click away from the sidebar.
Sidebar that actually makes sense
Forms, reports, and grant settings all sit together in the sidebar. Grant settings let you manage assessors, application stages, and more from a single location. These options used to be scattered across the platform, so we've brought them all under one roof.
Quick Actions panel
A new Quick Actions panel on the homepage surfaces what needs your attention. You'll see applications that haven't been ranked or assessed by you yet, anything assigned to you, and filters by status (group, collective, or individual).
Smarter quick filters
Pinned filters now appear in a dedicated quick filters area at the top of the application list, making them much easier to reach.
Visual cues for unranked applications
Any application you haven't ranked yet shows a blue border on the left side. At a glance, you can tell exactly which applications still need your input. Once you've ranked it, the border disappears.
Redesigned application detail page
The application detail page has been rebuilt. Warnings and important flags sit at the top of the page, and the form layout is much clearer.
Attachments are now embedded directly within the form. If a question references a document, you can view it inline in a side-by-side panel without switching tabs. You can also resize the panel, open the document in a new window, or download it directly.
Improved ranking and assessment view
Eligibility checklists and assessment criteria are now clearly separated. You can see rankings and average scores at a glance, and a reasoning tab shows Optible's reasoning in a table view so you can see how assessments compare across your team.
The All Assessors section shows who has assessed each application and how much they've contributed. A Details tab includes funding information, smart insights, observations, and recommendations.
Start Assessment mode
This is a brand new, immersive assessment experience. It strips away everything unnecessary and gives you a wider, focused view. You can see the criteria description, input your ranking, and watch scores update in real time as you go, making it easy to understand how your input affects the final outcome before you submit.
This update will be available to you shortly. If you have any questions or feedback, please reach out to our team.

What's new
Salesforce Integration
Connect Optible directly to your Salesforce organisation for seamless bi-directional sync of applications, contacts, and grant data. Once connected, changes in either system automatically reflect in the other—no manual exports or imports required.
Applications submitted through Optible appear in Salesforce as leads, status updates flow both ways, and your team maintains a single source of truth across platforms.
SmartyGrants Integration
Import applications and grant data from SmartyGrants with standardised sync workflows. Connect your SmartyGrants account and Optible automatically backfills existing data, then maintains ongoing sync for new submissions and updates.
External Eligibility Validations
Automatically validate ABN, ACN, and Consumer Affairs registration during application submission. The system checks external registries and flags issues before applications enter your review queue, reducing manual verification work.
