Upgrade Highlights
- item 1
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
New Workflow Option for Notifications
Added a feature to allow users to be notified of workflow acknowledgement tasks through the bell icon in the header, similiar to notification broadcasts. To see this option, go to Menu Icon > Workflows > Edit a workflow with an acknowledgement task > Edit the acknowledgement task > Message Template tab > Under Message Type, select "System Notifications". This replaces the previous "Instant Message" type. Now, instead of sending emails to internal staff for approvals, you can utilize the notifications area for a more streamlined process.
Updated Message Styling Options and Field Name Change
The "Display – Instructions" field was renamed to "Display – Message" and now includes enhanced styling options. These updates make it easier to present styled messages based on your desired logic. You can choose from the following message styles: Instructions (blue), Warning (yellow), Error (red), and Success (green). These new options are available within the custom field settings.
Minor Updates
On-Demand System Upgrades
The following features are available immediately with the application of the upgrade, but must first be enabled or configured by a Global Administrator:

Notes for Admins
Deprecated Support for Older Excel Formats
Two Excel report export format options (Excel 2000 and 2003) have been deprecated and are no longer supported. While existing reports using these older formats will retain their configurations for backward compatibility, you will no longer be able to select these formats for new report exports. Moving forward, there will be a single export option using the Excel 2007 format which offers improved performance and supports bigger worksheets.
Updated Advanced Data Table Custom Field
Updated the "Special - Advanced Data Table" custom field for enhanced security, specifically in relation to permissions and the way data is saved and returned.
Updated User Menu Configuration Naming
The user menu configuration item previously labeled "Dropdown" has been renamed to "Titlebar" to better reflect its role within the portal header.
