====Updated Retention Period for Log Data====
Updated the retention period for log and history data to a 2 year length. Previously, different logs were retained for varying time frames, but we've standardized these all to a time frame of two years now. This relates to log data such logs as user sessions, message queue, workflow history, record of field value changes, system configuration changes, API calls.
<!--87147 - Clear Workflow History-->
====Enhanced Geomapping Functions for List Views====
Enhanced geomapping functionality for list views. Please note that these changes will be reflected in currently existing list views that have the map panel option enabled. The default size of the map has been slightly reduced, but can be enlarged to fit the screen. The search functions that were previously embedded within the map have been moved out next to the regular list view search panel for the added convenience of being able to combine both search functions now. Proximity searching is now enabled by default for any list view that has enabled the map panel functionality. This allows users to filter records based on both custom search criteria, as well as proximity-based searching. The geographical locations to be used for the distance calculations are variable and can be specified to be the owner of a UTA Level 1 record, or the associationed associated organization, or even a UTA Level 2 address record of the Level 1. The look and feel, and interactions between the list view records and the map panel have also been improved for a more intuitive interaction.

===Minor Updates===
Minor visual changes were made to the '''Back''' button, which will now appear with less opacity when you first log in with no session history. In addition, the '''Previous''' and '''Next''' buttons found on list views will also have less opacity when you are on the first or last page on the list.

====New Global Session Timeout Enforced====
====Added Options for Notification Broadcasts====
Enhanced the '''Notification Broadcast ''' feature with more granular features for targeting users and customization of message icon. A new option has been added for restricting messages from being sent to users in specified user roles. Also, notification messages were previously all displayed with a wrench icon indicating a system or maintenance message. As we've seen more expanded and creative use of these notification messages, you can now choose different icons for them to better indicate the type of message that is being delivered.

====New List View Option for Images using Card Style====
We've added a new option for lists views that lets you determine how images render in the card view. By default, images in card view styles fill the entire frame and will be cropped.
