==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===
====Deprecated Personal Number Format Setting====
Deprecated the personal setting for number format display. Instead, the system will now use the user's locale, e.g. regional language, in order to determine the format in which to display the thousands and decimal separators of a number field.
<!--107946 - Revamp numeric format based on locale of user-->
====Deprecated Permission to Manually Reset User Passwords====
Changed the user role permission that allowed the manual reseting of a user's password, instead to just allowing the resending of password to the user. This was done to improve the security of your system by taking an extra step to prevent the abuse of admin rights in reseting user passwords. The Able to Set Password setting found under a user role permissions menu has now been updated to only allow the ability to send a new password to a user. Note, that Global Administrator type users will still however retain the ability to manually set a user's password.
<!--93103 - Send Password button on user profile-->
====Updated Association List Entry Interface====
Updated the new association list entry behaviour to improve user experience and simplify the process of associating contacts and organizations to a record. If you haven't already, you can give this new interface a try in Global Settings -> Classic Options -> and untoggle the option labelled "Use Classic Association Entry View". The new association entry makes it more efficient when searching and adding multiple users at a time.
<!--107272 - New Association view click row instead of drag and drop-->
====Added More Date Search Options for List Views====
Added additional options for list view search criteria to simplify filtering on dates. Introduced more relative date options for filtering list views, e.g. on or before today, and on or after today.
<!--107097 - Date Search Criteria - Add Future and Past Criteria-->
====New Portal Section Search Screen for Admins====

====New Feature Summary Page====
New summary page of platform features to help you keep up to date on the latest and greatest features being released. This feature summary page will list our recommended features and provide easy access links for you to set them up. You can find this page in Global Settings -> System Feature Summary.
<!--107013 - System Features Summary-->
====Multiple Enhancements and Updates to Invitation Feature====
Several functional enhancements for the Invitation feature. Enhanced the Invitation feature with the ability to define multiple invitation templates per role. Previously, you were limited to configuring only a single invitation template per role. A UTA Setting, under Classic Options, has been introduced in order to allow you to enable multiple invitation templates per role, so as not to affect current functionality and behaviour. Also, added new alert option for Invitation feature to allow configuration of an alert to be sent upon a user declining an invite. This can be used in situations where user acceptance of invitations is time sensitive and you wish to be alerted on declined invites. Also, added the ability to re-send pending invites on the invitation screen. A new re-send invite button has been introduced on the invitation screen to do this. Also, introduced the ability to import invitations in bulk through an import wizard, that is currently only available to UTA administrators via the UTA Settings menu. Lastly, the invitations in your system have been made available to the report builder allowing you to create custom reports on invitations and their status.
