==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===
====Simplified User Creation and Modification====
Simplified the interface surrounding the creation and modification of user records and access. The screens and options for creating a user and setting their access have been streamlined. A new access symbol has also been introduced on user profiles to indicate whether they are enabled for login access, and to allow you to easily activate an de-activate them.
<!--61124 - Improvements to user/company creation-->
[[File:2018-02-ticket-61124-1.png|thumb|none|middle|500px|Simplified user access and roles options]]
====Updated Configuration Pages====
Updated the look and feel of various system configuration pages with the new left menu navigation. We continue to update the interface of older pages in order to give you a consistent and intuitive user experience. We've also updated some areas to use a modal window instead of the previous pop-up window. This just extends the use of modal windows to areas that haven't yet been converted. Affected areas are limited to system configuration pages used by administrators.
Please note that some options have also been re-labelled or re-located from where you're used to for improved organization and intuitiveness.
Many of these changes can be seen throughout the UTA settings pages and sub-pages.
<!--65447 - Standard Action bar, list view left, object right-->
<!--65814 - Simplify configuration pages for UTA Settings-->
<!--56056 - popup windows to modal windows-->
====New Search Fields within Report Builder====
New ability to search for fields within the Report Builder. Introduced a search box when selecting fields to allow you to easily find the field you want.
<!--54507 - Report Builder Field Search-->
====Added Drag and Drop Re-Ordering to More Pages====
New ability to re-order items with simple drag and drop. We have introduced drag and drop re-ordering in a subset of configuration screens, e.g. configuration of UTA record types and statuses. Stay tuned in the future as we apply this functionality to other areas and pages to simplify configuration.
<!--54157 - Improved method of changing Display Order (drag and drop)-->
===Minor Updates===
====New Visual Differentiation for Non-Production Environments====
New visual differentiation between non-production and production environments. A persistent sign will be displayed at the top of your browser when logged into a non-production environment.
<!--62556 - Visually differentiate the backup instances-->
====Updated Currency Exchange Rate Service====
Updated the service used to retrieve currency exchange rates. The only noticeable change will be that the decimal precision for the exchange rate will have increased from 2 decimal points up to 6 now.
<!--66705 - Change currency exchange rate service to use JSON API-->
====Added Advanced Search to User and Organization Lookups====
Added advanced search functionality to user and organization lookup screens. This allows you greater search capabilities when attaching users and organizations to other records and look up fields.
<!--63545 - Add Advanced Search functionality to Lookup Picker for Contacts-->
====Improved Support for International Number Formats====
Improved support for international number formats. Introduced a user setting in the personal as well as default user setting to define your preference for character, e.g. comma or period, to delimit the thousands and decimals.

====Updated Personal Emails with Ability to Draft from Default Email Template====
Updated personal emails with the ability to draft from the default email template.
<!--52823 - Default Email Template-->
====Updated Group Email to Allow Sending to all Records====

<!--54749 - Group Email from L1 List View-->
====Updated External Verification Screen Address Mapping====
Updated the external verification screen for the IRS and CRS database searches to allow mapping of the Province/State search to organization fields that have "Enable Pre-defined Drop-down Options" turned on. Previously the system required the Province/State field to be a free form text in order to map from the verification search screen.
<!--29538 - IRS/CRA lookup screen: Pulldown Menu for State/Province-->
====New Ability to Sort Uploaded Documents====
New ability to sort uploaded documents on the fly. You can now sort files within the upload multiple files field on each column.

<!--66423 - GDPR #1 PII field Identification-->
====New Ability to Attach Privacy Policies and Agreements to Sign Up Pages====

Please use with caution!
<!--63877 - ABAC Data Retention Policies-->
====New Impact Quadrant Chart====
New feature Impact Quadrant chart. To help you measure the impact of your work we're introducing an easier way to visualize impact. While it is targeted towards our grants and research community, this feature can be used by anyone looking to compare an impact score of UTA Level 1 records. First, define your formulas used to determine both the impact scores as well as the cost for your data sets. Next, easily create an impact quadrant chart and plug these fields in. Lastly, view your new chart to immediately visualize the differences in impact of your projects based on your own custom definitions of impact vs cost. If that wasn't enough, you also have the option of adding in the third dimension of time into the chart if you really want to spice things up.
<!--61447 - Impact Framework: Impact Quadrant chart-->
====New Ability to Define Dynamic Search Parameters for Portal Sections====
New ability to define search parameters within a portal list view panel. This makes it easier for your end users to perform ad hoc searches without having to build multiple list views for them. For example, if you have a list of records, you can let your end user easily search on date parameters, e.g. records in the last month, records coming up in the next month.
<!--47534 - listview with criteria like reports-->
====New Question Set Builder====
***
<!--66009 - Question Set Builder-->

====New Custom Field Text - Date and Time====
New custom field type introduced, Text - Date and Time in order to store full date time values.

====New Ability to Link Multiple Autoloaders====
New ability to chain multiple autoloaders to run in sequence. This allows you to load a single file through multiple autoloader imports in a specific sequence. This is useful for various integration processes that aim to import data. This feature is not just limited to parsing a single file either, as you can chain autoloaders that retrieve from different external sources.
<!--52594 - Linking Autoloader-->
====New Ability for Autoloaders to Pull from OData Sources====
New ability for the autoloader to ingest data from an OData source. We also revisited the other external sources that can feed into autoloaders and strengthened the existing options, as well as automated scheduling functionality too.

====New Ability to Schedule Report Exports====
New ability to schedule and automate report exports to a SmartFolder or external SFTP site.

<!--66246 - Guidestar Charity Check Scheduling-->
====New Ability to Upload Pictures for Portal Shortcuts and Sections====
New ability to upload your own pictures for use as portal shortcuts or section backgrounds. This gives you even more ability to customize and brand your portal.
<!--66996 - Image shortcuts-->
<!--66998 - Sections with an image background-->
====Added Ability to Configure New Button For Portal Sections====
Updated the configuration of portal sections with the ability to add a button to create new records. In appropriate portal sections such as list views, you may now configure a New button to allow end users to create new records.
<!--57551 - Have an add button to create level 1 in the section in the portal-->
====Enhanced UTA Security Matrix with more Granular Organization Permissions====
Enhanced the UTA security matrix for more granular control of permissions for organizations. Previously, the security matrix for UTA Level 1 records had only a single attribute for organizations. This permission attribute has now been separated into three separate attributes in relation to the standard fields for internal organization (branch), external organization (customer), and multiple organizations (accounts). We've also copied any existing permissions to all of these new settings so there will be no effect to your system resulting from this change.
<!--56456 - Enhancement Request: Separate Customer from Organizations in UTA security matrix-->
====Enhanced Amortization Module to Accept Direct Principal Payments====
Enhanced the amortization module with the ability to enter direct payments towards the principal and recalculate the amortization schedule.

====New Default Page Layout for Sign Up Pages====

Instead, you will benefit from never having to customize the template, and your pages will automatically update along with our default template when we add new features or update the look and feel of our sign up pages. One change from this release will be the positioning of field labels moving inside the input to save space for mobile platforms and for a more modern user experience.
<!--60027 - Field labels inside inputs-->
<!--65734 - Organization signup verification IRS ABN CRA wizard-->
===Minor Updates===
