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 July 2014 upgrade to your server:

Enhanced Date Selection

  • The date selection's look and feel has been updated to a more contemporary style.

Level 2 on Company Record

  • Previously, UTA Level 2 activities were shown on company profiles based on the assigned users of the Level 2. This has now been extended to company profiles to also show UTA Level 2 activities when the company itself is associated to the Level 2 activity.

Enhanced Calendar Event Colouring

  • The calendar has been enhanced to allow for switching calendar entry colours based on the calendar type (current functionality) and event type
  • Event highlighting allows for event types to be associated with certain colours e.g. "deadlines" event type associated with a particular colour, "meetings" event type with another distinct colour etc.
  • Standard system events have also been enhanced to allow the setting of custom colours to denote these.

UTA Settings Pages

  • The settings pages for the UTA have been revamped with settings moved and consolidated into various pages.
  • Certain settings have been re-named to make it more intuitive: The UTA advanced logic setting has been renamed to visibility permissions, with the added ability to specify user roles along with custom logic.
  • This change is phase one of two, this phase is focused on consolidating the settings, while the second phase will concentrate on making the interface easier to use.

Organizing Manager Permissions and Advanced Logic

  • The settings pages for manager permissions and advanced logic have been updated. They can be found under Global Settings, with manager permissions re-named system security permissions, and advanced logic re-named system visibility permissions.
