The Office/Company Standard Fields Terminology and User/Contact Standard Fields Terminology settings on the Global Settings page allow to define your own names for the standard Company/Account and User/Contact fields.

Note: The terms Company and Account, as well as User and Contact may have been renamed in your instance of SmartSimple, via the Global Settings page.

• Unlike the UTA Standard Field Settings, if you leave a Label blank is does not mean that the field will not be used. Any blank Label fields will use the default value listed to the left. If you wish to completely remove one of these fields from use you can put 1=0 into the Visibility Condition.
• You can also use the Visibility Condition section to control when each field is displayed using logic, and any fields you don't wish to use can be removed.

  • See Statuses for details.

Read Only

• The Read Only option prevents the value in the field from being changed by the user.
• The field can still be updated programmatically through the use of Template / Type Formulas or Browser Scripts.

Track Changes

• The Track Changes option enables tracking of any changes made to the standard field.
• Fields that have "Track Changes" enabled will be displayed with an icon to indicate this.
• Users that have been given the relevant Manager Permission will be able to view the field history.

Server Validation

• The Server option will enable Server-Side Validation for the Standard field.

Tool Tip

Validation

Enable Status Duration Log

• Available for the 'Status' standard field. This selector will appear if "Track Changes" is enabled. When the "Enable Status Duration Log" is enabled, each status change will update the Duration field on the current log record. The Duration (in days) can be exported using a report from the system.
• The options to "Populate Historical Data" and "Status for Daily Increment of Duration Log" will appear if "Enable Status Duration Log" is enabled. Clicking "Populate Historical Data" will complete a batch update status change history log of all existing records on the UTA to populate the Duration field.
