==Viewlets==
We are pleased to announce the incorporation of '''Viewlets''' into the [[SmartSimple]] wiki. Geared for more visual learners, '''Viewlets''' provide a step-by-step visual presentation on basic to advanced topics in [[SmartSimple]]. Get started with the '''Viewlets''' '''[http://www.smartsimple.org/wiki/index.php/Category:View_It here]'''.
=NEW FEATURES=
==SmartSimple Application Programmer Interface==
* We are releasing a beta version of the [[SmartSimple]] Application Programmer Interface ([[API]]). This tool will be used by computer programmers to develop [[Applications|applications]] that interact with the [[SmartSimple]] database. If you are interested in receiving a copy of the [[API]] please give us a call. It should be noted that the [[API]] is a tool for experienced programmers.
==Customizable Event Types==
* You can now add your own activity event types to the system through [[Global Settings]], Business Configuration, Event Types. You can also add [[Custom Fields|custom fields]] to these event types.
==Tracking Changes on Custom Fields==
* If you need to track every change made to a value in a [[Custom Field|custom field]], you can enable the '''Track Changes''' check box. From that point, each time the value of the field is changed the original and new value will be stored, along with the [[Username|username]] and a date/time stamp.
* In order to see the field history you will need to be in a [[Role|role]] associated with a new '''Manager Permission''' - '''View Custom Field History'''. You can then click the small '''Icon''' beside the field to see the field history.
==Definable Default User Settings==
* Until now, when you created a new [[User|user]], you had no control over that [[User|user]]'s [[Personal Settings|personal settings]] ('''Display''' settings, '''Regional''' settings). These settings can now be set globally through Global Setting, User & Contact Setting, Default User Settings. Once you set these options they will be carried forward to all new users that are created.
==Add/Remove Multiple Contacts from a Role==
* You can now add or remove multiple contacts to a [[Role|role]] at the same time. Go to the [[Role]], '''Roles & Permissions''' and select the [[Role|role]]. The [[User|users]] are listed below the [[Role|role]]. Select the [[User|user]] and click '''Remove'''. To add [[User|users]] to the [[Role|role]] click the '''Add Users''' tab.
==RSS Feed==
* An '''RSS Subscription''' shortcut has been added to existing job listing pages, from which [[User|users]] can subscribe directly to RSS Feeds. RSS feeds make it possible for people to keep up with their favourite web sites in an automated manner that's easier than checking them manually.
=TRAINING COURSES AND SCHEDULE=
Our Toronto classroom is fully operational and courses are scheduled between now and October, 2008.
