New Test to Production Feature (T2P - Beta)

We’ve introduced a new Test to Production (T2P) feature in beta, designed to track and promote configuration changes on a project-by-project basis online without relying on the existing desktop tool. This enables teams to implement changes independently within a project and later promote those changes easily to another SmartSimple environment. For instance, you can seamlessly transfer a subset of changes from a dedicated development environment to a production environment. This beta feature is now available for clients to explore and test. Let us know what you think while we finish polishing up the feature for a full production release. Check out the full article to learn more!

Transfer Files Between Upload Fields

Added the ability to transfer files between “Upload - Multiple Files Storage” custom fields. This can be done manually, with access to this feature managed through role permissions. Additionally, files can be moved automatically based on the selected date range, status, and type. Clients utilizing the data exchange feature may prefer this option to minimize the size of exchanged packages and avoid including all files with each transfer.

Indexing pages in Search Engine Results

We've introduced a new toggle to simplify specifying whether login, signup, or template pages should appear in search engine results. By toggling off the new setting called “Index page in search engine results", the system will add a tag that instructs search engine robots not to index the page. Please note that this feature is only available in production environments. If you're using a custom template, you must update it with the sample template or insert the new "metarobots" variable.

Language Selection within Settings Pages

We’ve introduced a new configuration option to enhance efficiency by allowing you to filter the list of available languages displayed on settings pages. Navigate to Global Settings > System tab and specify the languages you want to make available on configuration pages. Once set, the system will display only the selected languages when entering translations on settings pages. This eliminates the need to scroll through a list of 100+ languages, saving time and improving usability.
