====Enforcing Deny Permissions for Portal Pages on Common Role==== | ====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. | Changed the behavior of the '''Deny Access''' permission setting for pages on the '''Common''' portal.

====Deprecated Password Variables==== | ====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: <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.

| + | ====Other Changes==== | ||
| + | * Updated the user’s personal settings to no longer display the time-based one-time password (TOTP) key and QR code that was associated with multi-factor authentication (MFA). This was hidden to enhance security. The '''TOTP Secret Key''' and '''TOTP QR Code''' are now only visible when you first set up TOTP.

| + | |||
| + | * Updated the''' Web Page View''' field to have a toggle for SmartFields.

| + | ====Fixes==== | ||
| + | * Fixed an issue where reports that were not set to be publicly accessible were able to open web page views externally.

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.
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”.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Updated Breadcrumb Appearance
Updated the look of the breadcrumb navigation to be more compact and mobile-friendly.
Added Ability to Export System Email Templates
Added a button to the system email templates page to allow for exports. To see the Export Email button, go to Global Settings > Communications tab > System Email Templates.
Added Type and Status Filters to Workflow Email Previews
Added the Type and Status filter to the workflow email preview for easier record searching and selection. To see this setting, go to Workflows > Edit a workflow > Tasks tab > Edit a task of the Acknowledgment type > Message Template tab > Preview.
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.
Added Ability to Lookup Email Templates in Group Emails
Added ability to lookup email templates for group emails.
