==Global System UpgradesAreas of Use==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:*Email Templates*Custom Fields*Template Formulas*Workflows
===Major Updates=Basic Syntax======Change to Upgrade Schedule====Starting in 2020, we'll be changing our upgrade cycle The most common use of the Variable Processor is to reference a 4-month release cyclefield value. Instead of 4 upgrades Variable references are denoted in general by a year, we'll be producing 3 upgrades a yearfield name encapsulated by the @ symbol. The reason for this most basic form of variable is to be able to produce more polished, as well as larger functional enhancements. The 3-month cycle was limiting our ability to develop some of our larger features in a more comprehensive manner. Lengthening the release cycle will allow us to produce some bigger, meaner features, so stay tuned for these starting in 2020!:
====Change to CAPTCHA Bypass Setting=Record Level===Change to You can also reference information from other records by defining the CAPTCHA bypass function previously used to disable CAPTCHA functionality for users by country. Instead we've re-introduced an older CAPTCHA feature record level of ours that will apply a simple CATPCHA test that is verified locally on the server instead of reaching out to our Google reCAPTCHA integration that was being blocked by some countries. Instead of outright disabling CAPTCHA functionality for a country, this setting will now instead supply users in selected countries field with a SmartSimple CAPTCHA in order to always present some challenge to malicious automation out there.<!--71605 - Ref to ticket 71008 - Captcha Response Error upon completing the registration, please enhance.-->following syntax:
