====Updated Behavior to User/Organization Security Matrix====
+
====Enforcing Deny Permissions for Portal Pages on Common Role====
−
Added a new setting to enable stricter controls for the '''User/Organization Security Matrix'''. For new instances, the default behavior of the system will be to apply any settings selected under the '''Hierarchy Permission''' section AND any settings selected under the '''Category/Role''' section. Currently, the default behavior would choose one section setting OR the other in some scenarios. There is no change in behavior for existing clients. However if you wish to adopt the stricter controls, navigate to '''Global Settings''' > '''Security''' tab > '''System Security''' section > Toggle off '''Enable Classic Security Matrix Behavior'''.
+
Changed the behavior of the '''Deny Access''' permission setting for pages on the '''Common''' portal. This setting will now deny access to the portal page for any roles selected. Previously, the '''Deny Access''' permission hid the link from view in the main header menu but the page was still accessible via a portal shortcut. If you want to hide a portal page but still allow people to access the portal page via a shortcut, toggle off '''Display As Header Link'''. To see the affected setting go to '''Global Settings''' > '''Users''' tab > '''Portals''' > '''Common''' > Edit a '''Portal Page''' > '''Permissions''' tab.

−
====Updated Tab Bar to be Visible to All Users Based on Role Permissions====
+
====Deprecated Password Variables====
−
Visibility of the '''Tab Bar''' will no longer be controlled by both a personal setting and a role-based setting. If a role has permission to see the '''Tab Bar''', users with that role will see it. Previously users with role permission to see the '''Tab Bar''' also had to enable an additional setting under the user menu before they would be able to see it. To enable the tab bar, go to '''Global Settings''' > '''Security''' tab > '''System Feature Permissions''' > '''Features''' tab > '''Enable Tab Bar'''.
+
We will be deprecating several password variables for security reasons in 2023. For example, sending passwords as plain text via emails is not a secure practice. If your system contains any of these deprecated variables, they will display as plain text. Deprecated variables include: <code>@password@</code>, <code>@checkportalpassword@</code>, <code>@checkactivatedpassword@</code>, <code>@randompassword@</code> and <code>@passwordresetlink@</code>. System Administrators must change existing email templates to use password activation links that will send the user to a page where the user can set their password. The syntax for password links is https://<code>@url@@activationlink@</code>. Emails that need to be updated are located at '''Menu Icon''' > '''Global Settings''' > '''Security''' tab > '''Password and Activation Policies''' > Click the''' Activation Emails''' tab in the left navigation. Another location where these variables may be present is on user signup pages. To find user signup email templates go to '''Menu Icon''' > '''Global Settings''' > '''Communications''' > '''System Email Templates''' > Search for “New User”.

+
====Enhanced Multi-Factor Authentication====
 +
Moved multi-factor authentication (MFA) settings from the user roles to '''Global Settings''' > '''Security''' tab > '''Password and Activation Policies'''. In this new location, you can enable MFA and assign MFA options to some or all roles from a single central location. Additionally, there is also a new toggle called '''Enable Trusted Device'''. If you enable trusted devices, you can set the time period in which a person who has authenticated into the system can bypass entering the MFA verification code. To learn more on MFA setup, read [[Multi-Factor Authentication|our article on multi-factor authentication]]. '''Note''': in an effort to enhance everyone’s security we will by default enable multifactor authentication for all roles in 2023.

−
====Accessibility Mode No Longer Optional====
+
====Enhancements to the List View====
−
The option to opt out of accessibility mode has been deprecated. Interface elements in all systems will be keyboard accessible to ensure compliance with accessibility standards.
+
Added system filters to the basic search '''Filter''' drop down. Previously, system filters were only visible when '''Advanced Search''' was toggled on. We also added the ability to set system filters as configuration only. Setting a system filter as configuration only will hide the system filter from the '''Filter''' drop down on the search for end users, but still allow system administrators to select the system filter while configuring their system. Additionally, if you have permission to edit a system filter, you will also see an edit button beside the filter name in the dropdown.

−
====Retain Page Location on Save====
+
====Added Invitations Import Wizard to UTA Level 3s====
−
Currently when a user saves, the page reloads and the user is brought back to the top of the page. After the upgrade, if a user saves a record page such as '''Level 1''', '''2''', '''3''', '''Organization''', '''User''' or '''Template''' page, then after the page reloads, the system will automatically scroll the page to approximately the user's last location.
+
Extended the ability to easily import invitations in bulk using the '''Invitation Import Wizard''' to Level 3s. To see this link, go to '''UTA Settings''' > '''Level 3''' tab > '''Invitation Import Wizard'''.

+
====Updated the Transaction Type Settings Page====
−
Updated the look of the '''Media Library''' and surfaced the '''Share''' and '''Statistics''' features. Previously, the share and statistics features could be found if you clicked on the''' Edit Metadata''' button. The edit metadata button has now been renamed to '''Properties'''.
+
Added the left navigation to the '''Transaction Type''' settings page. Specifically, the left-hand navigation now contains a tab for '''Template Page''' and '''Verification Mapping'''. Also, the '''Advanced Logic''' setting has been renamed '''UTA Link Button Condition''' and has been moved to the bottom of the '''Main''' tab. To see these changes, go to '''Global Settings''' > '''Transactions''' tab > '''Types''' and edit a type.

+
====Added Ability to Specify a Role as External Only====
 +
Added the ability to tag a role as exclusively external in order to prevent that role from being assigned to internal users. Specifically, the '''Internal User Role Only''' toggle has been replaced with '''Available to'''. This new setting can be used to restrict roles so they can only be given to an internal or an external users. To see this setting, go to '''Global Settings''' > '''Users''' tab > '''Roles''' > Edit a '''Role'''.

+
====Added Ability to Create Folders from Autoloader/Scheduled Report Settings Pages====
−
Added the ability to make copies of '''Organization''' and''' User''' signup pages. To make a copy of a signup page click the '''Save As''' button. In addition, signup pages will also have a new field called '''Signup Page Name''' to help distinguish between signup pages.
+
Added ability to add a new Smart/Configuration folder directly from the autoloader and scheduled report settings pages if the user has permission. Previously, if the desired folder was not yet created, users would have to go to the '''SmartFolders''' to create a folder and then return to the settings page in order to select the newly created folder. To see the new '''Create Folder''' button, in the Autoloader, go to '''Autoloaders''' > Edit an autoloader > '''General''' tab. The new button appears beside the '''Processing Folder''' input.

−
====Enhanced Single Sign-On and Added Role Mapping====
+
====Added Search to Activity List Views on Record Pages====
−
Updated the single sign-on (SSO) module with greater role mapping functionality to better support identity federation. A new option for role mapping is available, and if enabled, users will be provisioned with only the roles and access as configured within this mapping section, and as described by the SSO assertion received from the Identity Provider system. You may define the list of roles to be monitored or managed, and then from this list, a user upon login will have their user roles updated according to the contents of the SSO assertion. Any mapped roles that are presented in the assertion will be added to the user's profile, while any roles not explicitly presented in the assertion will be removed from the user's profile. Additionally, updates were made to the layout of the configuration page including labels, tooltips, and title bars for added clarity.

The following features are available immediately with the application of the upgrade, but must first be enabled or configured by a '''Global Administrator''':
  
−
====Added Setting to Trigger a Workflow for Incomplete E-signature Requests====
+
===Major Updates===
−
In the event that an e-signature status is canceled, expired, failed, or voided, a new workflow can be triggered to continue the process. For example, you might want to update the level 1 record status if the e-signature request was not completed. To enable this setting, go to the desired '''Special - Web Page View''' custom field with '''Enable E-signature''' toggled on to see the new setting called''' Failed to Complete Workflow'''.
+
====Added Ability to Autosave Fields====
−
<!-- 127705 - Adobe Integration Enhancement Request-->
+
Added an option to autosave fields on the record page. If you enable this option, data entered into an input will be saved when you click out of the input. A small green notification (toast message) will display on top of the screen to indicate the change has been saved. To turn on this setting, go to '''Global Settings''' > '''System''' tab > Toggle on '''Automatically Save Field Values when Editing Records'''.
  
−
====Added a Formula Field to Advanced Data Tables====

−
On the '''Advanced Data Table''' custom fields, you can now enter a field formula that will run on '''Save''' and '''Clear''' of the '''Advanced Data Table'''. Fields referenced in the field formula of the '''Advanced Data Table''' custom field will have their field values refreshed. For example, you could use the field formula to update the values on the underlying record pages, and those values would get updated right away so the user would not have to click save to see the updated values. To see this field, go to the desired custom field of the type '''Special - Advanced Data Table'''.
+

Added a new setting for save, submit and delete buttons which gives you the ability to adjust the visual priority of buttons. Buttons can now be color-coded using predefined styles. For example, you could make all continuation actions green while negative actions red. A neutral color could be used for secondary buttons. To configure default, save and delete buttons go to '''Global Settings''' > '''Branding''' tab > '''Colors and Styles'''. To configure custom save and submit buttons go to the desired '''UTA''', '''Organization''',''' User''', or '''Transaction''' tab and click the '''Submit and Save Buttons''' link.

To watch this video in full screen, please click on the full screen button on the bottom right.

Global System Upgrades

The new features listed below are enhancements to the SmartSimple system and will be immediately available to SmartSimple users upon the application of the upgrade to their server:

Major Updates

Enforcing Deny Permissions for Portal Pages on Common Role

Changed the behavior of the Deny Access permission setting for pages on the Common portal. This setting will now deny access to the portal page for any roles selected. Previously, the Deny Access permission hid the link from view in the main header menu but the page was still accessible via a portal shortcut. If you want to hide a portal page but still allow people to access the portal page via a shortcut, toggle off Display As Header Link. To see the affected setting go to Global Settings > Users tab > Portals > Common > Edit a Portal Page > Permissions tab.

The Deny Access permission settings will be enforced on the common role.
The setting that controls visibility of portal pages in the header.

Deprecated Password Variables

We will be deprecating several password variables for security reasons in 2023. For example, sending passwords as plain text via emails is not a secure practice. If your system contains any of these deprecated variables, they will display as plain text. Deprecated variables include: @password@, @checkportalpassword@, @checkactivatedpassword@, @randompassword@ and @passwordresetlink@. System Administrators must change existing email templates to use password activation links that will send the user to a page where the user can set their password. The syntax for password links is https://@url@@activationlink@. Emails that need to be updated are located at Menu Icon > Global Settings > Security tab > Password and Activation Policies > Click the Activation Emails tab in the left navigation. Another location where these variables may be present is on user signup pages. To find user signup email templates go to Menu Icon > Global Settings > Communications > System Email Templates > Search for “New User”.

Deprecated password variables need to be replaced or removed. For example, this email template was updated to use the activation link variable.

Enhanced Multi-Factor Authentication

Moved multi-factor authentication (MFA) settings from the user roles to Global Settings > Security tab > Password and Activation Policies. In this new location, you can enable MFA and assign MFA options to some or all roles from a single central location. Additionally, there is also a new toggle called Enable Trusted Device. If you enable trusted devices, you can set the time period in which a person who has authenticated into the system can bypass entering the MFA verification code. To learn more on MFA setup, read our article on multi-factor authentication. Note: in an effort to enhance everyone’s security we will by default enable multifactor authentication for all roles in 2023.

Multi-factor authentication (MFA) settings have moved and are defined globally instead of on the role.
Optionally, you can allow users to remember their device for a definable number of days so they don’t need to enter a verification code each time they log in.

Enhancements to the List View

Added system filters to the basic search Filter drop down. Previously, system filters were only visible when Advanced Search was toggled on. We also added the ability to set system filters as configuration only. Setting a system filter as configuration only will hide the system filter from the Filter drop down on the search for end users, but still allow system administrators to select the system filter while configuring their system. Additionally, if you have permission to edit a system filter, you will also see an edit button beside the filter name in the dropdown.

System Filters will now appear in the basic search drop down.
System Filters can be flagged as configuration only and then they will not show up in the basic search drop down.

Minor Updates

Added Invitations Import Wizard to UTA Level 3s

Extended the ability to easily import invitations in bulk using the Invitation Import Wizard to Level 3s. To see this link, go to UTA Settings > Level 3 tab > Invitation Import Wizard.

Updated the Transaction Type Settings Page

Added the left navigation to the Transaction Type settings page. Specifically, the left-hand navigation now contains a tab for Template Page and Verification Mapping. Also, the Advanced Logic setting has been renamed UTA Link Button Condition and has been moved to the bottom of the Main tab. To see these changes, go to Global Settings > Transactions tab > Types and edit a type.

Added Ability to Specify a Role as External Only

Added the ability to tag a role as exclusively external in order to prevent that role from being assigned to internal users. Specifically, the Internal User Role Only toggle has been replaced with Available to. This new setting can be used to restrict roles so they can only be given to an internal or an external users. To see this setting, go to Global Settings > Users tab > Roles > Edit a Role.

Setting to restrict roles so they can only be given to internal or external users.

Added Ability to Create Folders from Autoloader/Scheduled Report Settings Pages

Added ability to add a new Smart/Configuration folder directly from the autoloader and scheduled report settings pages if the user has permission. Previously, if the desired folder was not yet created, users would have to go to the SmartFolders to create a folder and then return to the settings page in order to select the newly created folder. To see the new Create Folder button, in the Autoloader, go to Autoloaders > Edit an autoloader > General tab. The new button appears beside the Processing Folder input.

Added Primary Contact Option for UTA Group Emails

Added the Primary Contact option when creating a group email from a UTA Level 1, 2, and 3 list view.

Note: On Level 2s and 3’s, this option will select the primary contact associated with the Level 1 Branch standard field. To see the new option, go to a UTA Level 1, 2 or 3 and click the Group Email button.

Primary Contact option now surfaced on UTA Group Emails.

Added Ability to Lookup Email Templates in Group Emails

Added ability to lookup email templates for group emails. Previously, you could select email templates using a drop down but now you can also search for email templates in the dropdown which is helpful if you have many templates. To see this feature, go to UTA > Select desired records > Click Group Email > Select users and click Next > Click the Template field to see a new lookup field. This feature is also available for group emails sent from the record contacts page.

When creating a group email, type to filter available email templates making it easier to find that desired email template.

Added Invitation Details Button

Added a new button called Details to the invitations page. This new button will appear for every invitation and shows Invited Date, Last Updated, Response Date and optionally a reason for why the user accepted or declined the invitation. To see this new button, go to the desired UTA > Open a record > Click Invitations on the left-hand navigation.

New Invitation Details button makes it easier to see more information.

Added Search to Activity List Views on Record Pages

Added search for activity list views within a record. For example, on the Level 1 record, click on the Level 2 Activity tab to see the list view with search options. On level 2 records, click on the Level 3 Activity tab to see the list view with search options.

Added search to activity list views on the record.

Added Ability to use Custom Lookup Options with Dynamic Field Visibility Controls

Added the ability to use custom lookup fields as the primary fields in Dynamic Field Visibility Controls. To set up custom lookup options, create a Select One -Dropdown List with Enable Dynamic Content and Use Custom Lookup Options toggled on. To specify a custom lookup options field, go to UTA Settings > Level 1 tab > Dynamic Field Visibility Controls > Create a new visibility control > Once saved, set the Primary Field to be the desired Custom Lookup Options field.

Added Configuration Mode in View Mode

Added ability to enter Configuration Mode when a record is in View Mode. Previously, Configuration Mode was only available when records were in Edit Mode. Configuration Mode can be found under the Tools menu for User, Company, and Level 1 record pages.

Added Default Page Layout Option to the Web Page View Custom Field

Added a new setting for Special - Web Page View custom fields to allow for default or custom page layouts. It is recommended that you leave this set to the new Default option whenever possible. This ensures you always have the latest template. There is a Custom option if you want to see and modify the web page view HTML template. To see this setting, go to the settings of any web page view custom field. Under the General Settings tab, the new setting is called Page Layout.

New web page view option to always have the latest and greatest template or choose custom to see and modify the template.

Added Tab for for Failed E-Signatures to Queue

Added a Failed tab to the E-Signatures Queue to make it easier to see any e-signature documents that failed. This allows users who’ve sent batch e-signature requests to see the status in one place instead of individually checking the status on each web page view. To see this tab, go to Global Settings > Integrations > E-signature Queue > Failed tab.

Updated Notes Tab to be Hidden on Record Pages

Updated Notes tab to be hidden on records pages for users who do not have permission to view any note types.

On-Demand System Upgrades

The following features are available immediately with the application of the upgrade, but must first be enabled or configured by a Global Administrator:

Major Updates

Added Ability to Autosave Fields

Added an option to autosave fields on the record page. If you enable this option, data entered into an input will be saved when you click out of the input. A small green notification (toast message) will display on top of the screen to indicate the change has been saved. To turn on this setting, go to Global Settings > System tab > Toggle on Automatically Save Field Values when Editing Records.

Note: This feature requires Record Lock to be enabled and not all fields support autosave. For example, the Type and Status standard fields will not autosave.

If enabled the option to autosave fields will save field values when you leave a field. A toast message will be displayed when values are saved.

Added New Button Color Classes

Added a new setting for save, submit and delete buttons which gives you the ability to adjust the visual priority of buttons. Buttons can now be color-coded using predefined styles. For example, you could make all continuation actions green while negative actions red. A neutral color could be used for secondary buttons. To configure default, save and delete buttons go to Global Settings > Branding tab > Colors and Styles. To configure custom save and submit buttons go to the desired UTA, Organization, User, or Transaction tab and click the Submit and Save Buttons link.

Note: Button colors will not apply to configuration pages. After applying button colors, it is recommended that you log out and clear your browser cache to see changes.

Added setting to enable media library files to be publicly available for streaming by default. To use this feature, go to the settings for the desired Upload - Multiple Files Storage custom field that has Media Library enabled and toggle on Enable Media Sharing by Default. Previously, video and audio files were not shareable by default and users needed to manually enable sharing on each file one by one after upload.

New option to make media shareable (publicly available for streaming) by default.

Minor Updates
