==On-Demand System Upgrades==
The following features are available immediately with the application of the upgrade, but must first be enabled or configured by a Global Administrator:
We have also introduced a new left navigation panel which contains 4 groupings:
* '''FilesFolders''' (previously known as "General") encompasses physical files* '''System FilesFolders''' (previously known as "Configuration Folders") consists of files for system reference, such as document templates or files intended for autoloader and export storage
* '''Quarantined''' (previously known as "Virus Infected Files") contains files that were marked by the uploader as potentially containing a virus
* '''Expired Files''' consists of files that have been marked as "Expired"
To set permission access for '''SmartFolders''', navigate to '''Global Settings''' > '''Security''' Tab > '''System Features''' > '''Features''' and set the desired access. To view the new '''Smartfolders''', navigate to '''Menu Icon''' > '''SmartFolders''' > Toggle on '''Try the new SmartFolders'''.
====SmartSimple +AI Feature Set====
: ''Main Articles: [[AI|+AI Overview]], [[Enabling +AI Within Your System]]''
We have created an array of AI features for clients subscribing to our '''+AI''' service:
* '''[[+AI Directive]]:''' A multi-faceted feature that be used in conjunction with natural language, scripts, and the variable processor. '''+AI Directive''' can perform many time saving tasks such as analyzing text and automatically populating custom fields, summarizing and translating text, populating custom fields with internet-extracted data, converting text into other formats, and comparing application requests with program objectives and providing a score.
Added ability to customize how records and links are opened within a portal section to give system administrators greater flexibility in defining button behavior. For example, if you want users to simply verify their organization profile without extensive editing, you can choose to open the profile within a new modal window. Conversely, if you anticipate users making substantial changes or navigating away from the profile, you may choose to open the organization profile in the current window.
[[File:2024-03-ticket-144909-1.jpg|thumb|none|800px|Configure portal buttons to open records and links in the main window or a separate modal window or in the main window]]
These new options are accessible through buttons within portal section types like "Banner," "Text Template," and "List View."

<!-- 144909 - Add “open in” options to the portal buttons. -->
==Notes for Admins==
====New Page-Level Help Element====
A new page-level help element has been added to several pages with the purpose of giving clarity by providing concise explanations and guidance so you can easily understand and configure settings with confidence.
This new page level help has been added to the "Colors and Styles" page (located under '''Global Settings''' > '''Branding''' tab) and to new features such as '''+AI Insight''' and '''+AI Assistant'''.
[[File:2024-03-ticket-158593-1.png|thumb|none|800px|An example of new the page -level configuration help that proves concise explanationson the "Colors and Styles" page]]
<!-- 158593 - Page level help -->
<!-- 158909 - New Page level help files -->
====Report on Expired User Accounts====
Added the ability to report on the '''Enable Access Expiry''' toggle and the '''Expire Date''' field so you can easily track user accounts that have expired and are unable to log in as well as identify users scheduled to lose system access automatically. Access expiration on users is often configured for compliance and security purposes.
====Upload JSON Profile Models via Autoloader====
Added ability to upload JSON profile models via the autoloader to populate information on the profile model tab of the user profile. To use this feature, users can use the People loader (JSON format or CSV format) as they always do, but now they you must define the node name and the JSON data in separate columns. Instead of uploading individual JSON files, the profile data in JSON format should be added to a column in a CSV file. Users can open the CSV file, copy and paste the JSON data into the column, and save the file. When opening the CSV file, double quotation marks ( " ) should be added. It is important not to escape these quotes inside the JSON data as this would make the JSON object/array invalid.
<!-- 150247 - Add ability to upload JSON profile model via autoloader -->
====Exclude Non-Contributing Contacts During When Importing to ORCID Import====Added a new mapping option called "Exclude Contributor Import" to provide control over the contacts that are imported as contributors of the fund/work record to ORCID. This option serves as an exclusion flag, where a value of 1 indicates exclusion, and any other value (including 0, empty, or any other number) or no mapping selected will indicate inclusion (in other words, if the contact has the flag set to 1, they will not be exported from SmartSimple and importedinto ORCID).
<!-- 151038 - Filter Contact List Imported to ORCID -->
Level 0 custom fields (which were deprecated earlier) are now hidden from all areas of the system.
<!-- 148728 - Fully deprecate level 0 custom fields -->

* Added the ability for administrators to create their own '''+AI Insight''' models. There are two types of models you can create:
** '''UTA +AI Insight''' models are available within a single Universal Tracking Application™. Data is based on Level 1 records of a specific status and type. Users may ask the UTA +AI Insight model questions related to the aggregation, summarization, and prediction of records in the training set.
** '''Instance +AI Insight''' models are available in the header throughout your SmartSimple Cloud Instance. Data is based on the uploaded training data. Instance level +AI insight models are ideal for uploading: operational policies and procedures, governance policies and protocols, system usage guidelines and program specific guidelines.

This new variable is supported in workflows, User and Organization profiles, as well as on Level 1/2/3 and Transaction records.

Page-level help is available on the setting page to assist with the configuration process.
<!-- 158066 - Send review data to ORCiD -->
* Updated the behavior of numeric and date fields to display as "numbers". For example, when the language is switched to Nepali, the field will show "NPR 123,456.79" instead of "नेरू १,२३,४५६.७९".
<!-- 160222 - Validation Error with Nepali Numbers in 2024 CCR Application -->

====April 11th 2024 (202404.01)====
* Added a new feature called '''+AI Assistant''', designed to streamline actions at the record level. Whether it's updating statuses, altering field values, or creating new fields, activities, and associations, this tool simplifies the process. Instead of manually locating fields and adjusting values, users can now utilize the hands-free voice interface to make updates. To access the '''+AI Assistant''', navigate to the desired Level 1, 2, or 3 record and select the '''Tools''' dropdown.

<!-- 160304 - APR2024 - Burpsuite Security Scan results -->
* Updated the behavior of the '''Version''' toggle within the '''Copy Profile''' feature. When the toggle is not enabled, the copied record will match the current version set on the UTA. Previously, when the toggle was not enabled, the copied record defaulted to the core field set. With the version toggle enabled, new records will continue to be created with the version of the source record.
<!-- 157716 - Copy profile not setting version as expected -->
