Watch this video to get a general overview of the new features in our May 2015 upgrade.

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:

Updated Internal Configuration Pages and Templates

  • Enhanced certain internal configuration pages with updated look and feel for increased consistency, functionality, and ease-of-use. The custom fields configuration page has been centralized and will no longer be accessible underneath the UTA Template/Type settings. Instead the Template/Type specific custom fields have been migrated to the general custom fields page.

Changed Workflow Email 'Save As' Event To Save Onto Object

  • Updated the 'Save as' event option within workflow email acknowledgement tasks to attach the email event to the workflow object instead of directly to the user. The user will still be associated to the email event and as such you will now be able to reference the email event from both the UTA object as well as the individual users.

On-Demand System Upgrades

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

New Budget Allocation Manager

  • New easy to set up and use budget allocations. The interface for the end users has been standardized and presents a simple screen for entering payments. The ability to allocate payments towards specific budgets has now been built into the platform to allow administrators to easily set up complex budget allocation and attribution models for their users

New Ability to Rearrange Standard and Custom Fields On Signup Page

  • New signup page configuration allows for easier configuration and maintenance of signup pages. You ca now select exactly which fields to appear on the signup page and they will automatically draw their settings from the configuration of the field (i.e. mandatory validation, custom validation, caption text, etc.)

New Ability to Align Submit Buttons

  • Enhanced submit buttons with the ability to horizontally align left, center or right instead of always being center aligned.

Extended New List View Builder

  • Extend the latest list view builder functionality to consumer/provider list views.

New Ability to Create Level 2 activities based on Level 1 UTA Contact Role Assignment

  • New workflow task types give you the ability to automatically batch create UTA Level 2 activities for any user associated to the Level 1. The Create New Activity workflow task has been updated to include a setting to specify users associated to the Level 1 with a specific role.
  • The Create New Activity workflow task has been made available for the UTA Role Assignment workflow type to be able to automatically create a new Level 2 upon associating a contact to the Level 1.
