Clients currently leveraging our Signority integration would have already been contacted by a SmartSimple account manager helping to coordinate this transition, but if you currently have an integration with Signority enabled but have not transitioned to your own license key, please contact our support team for assistance with thisensure addresses entered are accurate. The Online Signature Provider setting can be found at '''Menu''' Icon > '''Global Settings''' > '''Integrations''' tabThis functionality will now appear on signup pages as well as user and organization profiles.<!--107486 121705 - Remove smartsimples Signority account credentialsEnable the Google API on Address Fields-->
====Deprecated Job Costing Application====Deprecated the legacy Job Costing application. In ages past, prior to the creation of the fully configurable Universal Tracking Application, several static Tracking Applications were created for out[[File:2021-07-ofticket-the121705-box 1.png|thumb|none|800px|Address standard fields will usethe new Google Location API. As these static Tracking Applications are now no longer in use, they are being removed from various configuration menus and settings Pictured above is an example of how address fields will populate on signup pages. We do not anticipate any behaviour change to your system.<!--118184 - Can we remove Job Costing option from Menu-->]]
====Deprecated Classic-style CalendarNew Setting to Control the Display of Portal Pages as Links in the Header====Deprecated of Added the ability to suppress portal pages from appearing in the Classic-style Calendartop header bar. Previously, we introduced an update If your system was configured using the '''Deny''' permissions on Portal Pages (formerly called “Main Menu” items) and your intent was to hide items from the Calendar interface main menu bar but link to update it inline with those pages via a shortcut, you will need to remove the latest Arcadia styling deny permission on those pages and behaviourthen turn off the new setting called '''Display As Header Link'''. This must be done before the next November 2021 upgrade. We also introduced To hide a setting within portal page from the header, go to '''Menu Icon''' > '''Global Settings''' > '''Classic OptionsUsers''' area to allow you to continue using tab > '''Portals''' > Edit the desired portal > Edit the previous Classic-styled calendar. However, for maintenance reasons wedesired '''Portal Page'''ll be removing this Classic Calendar option and again update your system to use the latest Calendar interface. If the setting for Classic Calendar within the toggle off '''Global SettingsDisplay As Header Link''' > located under the '''Classic OptionsName''' area is not enabled in your instance, then this change will have no affect on your system.<!--120665 - Deprecate the classic calendar-->

These are now legacy features that no longer function with the highest security standards that the system can offertoggle.<!--121943 125978 - Deprecate session options for IP restriction and workstation cookieAdd a setting to determine if a section should appear in the top header bar.-->
====Deprecated Personalized Alert Messages====Deprecated personalized alert messages. In an attempt to create more friendly, and personal system alerts and experience, we previously modified system alert messages for end users with an opening like "Hey John". Unfortunately, that wasn't quite well received by our entire audience, so we're removing that personal message from system alerts, and replacing it with simple symbols or generic "Alert" text where appropriate.<![[File:2021-07-ticket-120659 125978- Deprecate 1.png|thumb|none|800px|New setting allows you hide links from appearing in the Personalized Alert-->header bar but you can still navigate to those links via a shortcut.]]

This limit has been introduced in order to improve the response speed of API calls. If the criteria of your API call matches more than 10000 records, you will need to leverage the pagination parameters in order to make multiple calls to page through the results and return the full data set.<![[File:2021-07-ticket-122236 113295- SmartConnect API need 1.png|thumb|none|800px|The <strong>Text Box – Text Multiple Lines</strong> custom field set to apply limit of 10000 records--<strong>Note Entry Mode</strong>as seen on a record.]]
