* New ability to update the [[display order]] of only a selected group of [[custom fields]] within [[Batch Update|batch update]] (previously forced to update display order of all custom fields).
  
The objective of the '''System Upgrade Process''' is to ensure that customers have a chance to review, without compromising the integrity of their production system, how their applications and information will work following the upgrade. In order to take advantage of this you will need to know how to access your backup instance of SmartSimple. If you need assistance with this either refer to the [[Backup Server and Testing Instances]] Wiki article, or contact the [[SmartSimple]] support desk.

* Introduced [[integration]] with GuideStar service and ability to search their database.
  
* Each [[Backup Server and Testing Instances|backup server]] will be updated to the "release candidate" one week prior to the upgrade date.
 
* This update will provide for instance specific testing of release candidate, as you can log into your respective [[Backup Server and Testing Instances|backup server]] and test the the changes against your most current data and configuration.
 
* Internal staff will also be using these servers to perform instance specific testing.
 
  
===Update Go/No-Go===
 
* Subject to satisfactory testing on both the pre-production server and the production backup servers, the go/no go decision will be made on Wednesday at 12:00pm.

If your organization has a dedicated [[SmartSimple]] server or you host in-house SmartSimple will be in contact with your system administrator to schedule the upgrade of your server.
 
 
 
 
 
The following is a '''tentative''' list of the features included in the upgrade.
 
 
 
==Security==
 
* Enforce from address in password e-mail: When a user clicks '''Send Password''' by default is uses their e-mail address as the from address in the system e-mail. With the from address used will always be the one defined on the [[User Email Templates]] page.
 
 
 
 
 
==Company/Contact==
 
* The [[List View]] for Associates/Associations can be customized via the [[Global Settings]] page.
 
 
 
 
 
==Transactions==
 
* Transaction Template Formula
 
* Transaction Template Page
 
 
 
==Workflows==
 
* '''Update Custom Field''' task type will be available on Company and Contact workflows
 
* Company and Contact Workflow connectors can be delayed to trigger on a date stored in a [[Custom Field]] on the Company/Contact record
 
* The Recipient of workflows (Acknowledgement, Request for Comment, Request for Approval) can now be defined using variable syntax, rather than being limited to the list by role. This will allow you to send the same e-mail to multiple roles at the same time rather than creating 2 different tasks. It will also allow you to filter based on a custom field on the contact, or UTA Contact Role Based custom field(s). For [[Notes]] created against UTA records this will allow you to select recipients by UTA role (or owner/person) rather than system role.
