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 your server:

Enhanced Arcadia Interface

The Arcadia interface has undergone several user interface changes for an improved user experience.

  • Replaced the list view search functionality with quick search. This allows you to easily search all the available columns in your list view without needing to select specific fields. Various search options and advanced search have been consolidated into the quick search box to provide greater screen real estate.
  • Updated the menu and footer bars to provide greater screen real estate. The footer bars have been removed and the People Online window has been moved to within the Tools -> Quick Messages screen. The title bar has been removed and instead the title text is now displayed in the top menu header, and the header menus have been shifted to be right-aligned.
  • Updated the action bar to be more consistent and persistent across various screens and objects. A new Back button has been introduced into this bar for ease of navigation. The Recent list has been moved into the action bar beside the Back button and is indicated by the icon Recent.png
