==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 October 2013 upgrade to your server:
===System Errors Log===
*System Administrators now have a new tool to troubleshoot errors generated by the system when troubleshooting configuration changes. The [[System Errors Log]], available from the [[Business & System Configuration]] section of the [[Global Settings]] page, maintains a log of server-side errors.

<!--20280 - system error log-->
===Revisions to User Interface===
* Users of SmartSimple's next generation interface - [[Arcadia]] - may notice minor revisions to the user interface, such as new tab bars and changes to the title bars on records.
<!--23277 - Minor UI changes - Sept. 2013--><br>
==On-Demand System Upgrades==
The following features are also available immediately with the application of the upgrade, but must first be enabled or configured by a System Administrator:
===New Feature: Recently-Viewed Objects===
*When enabled through [[Manager Permissions]], a new right-hand panel titled "[[Recently Viewed]]" can be shown containing a list of the most recently-viewed records. Users can then click on their most recently-viewed records to [[navigation|navigate]] easily through the system.
*The Recently Viewed panel can be locked to always be shown on the right-hand side of the SmartSimple window, or, by default, will close when a recently-viewed record is selected.
<!--23152 - Record and display most recently viewed objects-->
===New Feature: Reports Caching===
* [[System Administrator]]s can now schedule reports to be run periodically (daily, weekly, monthly).
* Scheduled reports can be configured to store custom field values to SmartSimple records, allowing for the periodic aggregation of data.
* The following types of SmartSimple records can be updated:
:*[[Organization]] records
:*[[Contact]] records
:*[[UTA]] records, i.e. {{l1}}, {{l2}} and {{l3}} records
* Typical use cases might include:
:* On a monthly basis, automatically storing the total number of reviews that have been performed by a given user on their contact [[profile]].
:* On a weekly basis, automatically updating a user's profile to indicate whether or not timesheets have been filled out in SmartSimple.
:* On a daily basis, automatically updating on a company's [[profile]] a summation of the total number of grants for which contacts of that organization has applied.
<!--22927 - new scheduled reports-->
===Arcadia - Basing Summary Cross-tab on Standard Fields===
* One of the key features of SmartSimple's next-generation [[Arcadia]] interface is its [[Summary Matrix]], which displays a cross-tabbed view of the records in a SmartSimple application.
* The default display of the cross-tabbed view is to break out an application's [[status]]es as column headings and its [[templates]] as the row headings:

* The September 2013 upgrade allows system administrators to configure the Arcadia interface to enable the Customer, Branch, Person and Owner standard fields as row headings as alternate methods of displaying data summaries.
<!--19468 - Arcadia. Summary cross tab based on standard fields-->
===Setting Alignment of Columns in Report Builder===
*Columns in reports can now be set in the Report Builder to be left-, right- or center-aligned without resorting to custom HTML.
<!--13969 - Reporting Enhancements-->
===IRS/CRA/OFAC Automated Checking===
*The system can now be configured to perform automated verification of [[contact]] records, as well as [[organization]] records, against the OFAC database.
*The settings page to configure the automatic verification of records against the IRS/CRA/OFAC online databases has been simplified.
