===Archive Level 1 Activities===
* Level 1 activities can now be archived (via the [[Batch Update]] tab) so they no longer appear in the Level 1 list view.
* Reports can also be filtered based on whether or not the object has been archived (Cam --> is this a standard field visible in reporting?)
 
 
===Filter Person based on Customer===
* The contacts available to be selected in the '''Person''' standard field are restricted to those belonging to the organisation (and it's sub-organisations) selected in the Company Standard Field at Level 1
 
 
===Focus Highlight===
* The field being edited will be highlighted.
* This feature only applies to the [[Universal Tracking Application]], but will be expanded to other system areas in future upgrades.

==New =UTA Data Exchange Automatic Unpack===* The data exchange can now be configured to automatically unpack incoming packages.* --> Workflow also involved here.   ==Custom Field Typesand Settings=====New Custom Field Type: XML===
* The XML field type can be used to store blocks of XML in a single field.
* Values can be extracted from this block into other custom fields.
 ===New Custom Field Type: Spreadsheet===
* This field type is used to present the user with a spreadsheet that is compatible with MS Excel. This spreadsheet is stored as part of the record, and can be exported as a .xls file, or to be opened directly by MS Excel.
* Formulas are included.
* The values in one or more cells on the spreadsheet can be referenced as variables.

* User Groups are defined in Configuration, Roles and Permissions, User groups.
* On its own this field only links the group to the entity. It can then be used in conjunction with a display field ([[Web Page View]] or [[Custom Field Type: Read Only – System Variables|Read Only System Variables]] custom field) to display information derived from the contacts in the related Group.
 
 
===Web Page View Field: SSattach===
* Static PDF documents can now be attached to [[Web Page View]]s using [[ssattach]] at a defined page location desired using the following syntax:
<!--@ssattach(insert;@static pdf.value@;n)-->
:where ''n'' is the page number at which the PDF document should be placed.
 
* ssattach can now be used for multi-file fields (PDF only):

If the PDF generated has more than the specified number of page it will not be permitted to be automatically stored into the [[Multiple Files]] Custom Field specified in the '''Value Stores To''' setting.
* '''Automatically Use User ID as File Name''': When used in association with the '''Save to Multiple File Field''' for HTML or PDF setting, when the [[Web Page View]] is stored to it will automatically be assigned with the [[userid]] of the person who created it. This can be used to ensure each user is only permitted to generate and store one file in that folder ('''Keep Versions''' must be disabled on the [[Multiple Files]] Custom Field)
'''Cam--> not sure this is working, as the file name is still prompted'''
* '''Value Stores To''': if a [[Single File]] or [[Multiple Files]] field is selected it will be the '''only''' File field that the Web Page View can be stored to. (Previously it acted as the default, but could be changed). If nothing is selected in the '''Value Stores To''' setting on the Web Page View field, any [[Multiple Files]] field on the current or parent level(s) can be selected by the user when the [[Web Page View]] is displayed.

''These 2 variables can be used in a [[Web Page View]] or [[Custom Field Type: Read Only – System Variables|Read Only - System Variables]] custom field, or be included in the body of a [[Workflow]] message.''
 
 
* When using any of the ReportProperty variables (recordcount, exportdata and csvdata) the object ID ([[opportunityid]], [[eventid]], userid, etc) will be passed to the report processor. If the specified report includes the variable: '''@''objectid''@''', it will be replaced by the object ID of whichever object (Level 1, Level 2, Contact, etc) called the ReportProperty attribute.
 
===Report Builder - Table Selection===
===Show Total===
* Another new feature within the report builder is the '''Show Total''' checkbox. If selected, it will include a total for that column at the last row of the report.
