September 2014 Upgrades – What’s New, What’s Cool!

By Anonymous -
The SmartSimple Development Team has some great system-wide upgrade features for the fall (or spring depending on where you are in the world)! Upgrades will go live for most clients on Friday, September 26th. Visit our Wiki for full details:

SmartFolder Interface – We’ve brought you a cleaner, more contemporary view of your SmartFolders, making it easier to find and identify sub folders in your system.

New SmartFolder View
Scheduling Conflict Alert Feature – Be notified of scheduling conflicts before you book your next meeting or event in your SmartSimple calendar. The scheduling conflict feature alerts you instantly if someone you’ve invited is already booked for that date and time. You’ll still be able to include them in the event, but you’ll have the advantage of knowing if they have a previous engagement.

Conflict Alert feature shows who has another appointment.
Web Page View in a Light Box – Now users have the ability to launch a web page view in a light box (a view that highlights images in a new window) rather than a pop-up window. The light box option means you see a clean, clear presentation, and you never have to worry if your pop-up blocker is on when you want to open a page in a new window.

Previous Pop-up View
New Light Box View
Arcadia X – Arcadia X is the latest SmartSimple portal enhancement. Now it’s even easier to configure personalized portals without needing to know any specialized coding such as html, CSS or JavaScript. In addition to greater flexibility, Arcadia X gives your portals a modern look and feel.

Number Validation – Our enhanced number validation option gives you the ability to select the number format – percentage, integer, comma, decimal or currency – and the relevant currency symbol in a specific field. This upgrade also provides the ability to round any numeric value up or down based on your chosen precision. Select whole numbers, single or multiple decimals, nearest ten, hundred or thousand – it’s all up to you.

New number validation feature offers personalized options.
As always, you can visit our Wiki for full details on this month’s upgrades, and be sure to check our webinar schedule and video library on YouTube for guided tours and demonstrations of all the new features.

More and more business today is being done in the cloud. While this offers amazing flexibility and accessibility advantages, everything you use in the cloud still needs to be physically stored somewhere, and that’s the role a server plays in your system. There are two types of servers you can use; a dedicated server or a non-dedicated server. Google's server farm in Douglas County, Iowa What’s the Difference? A non-dedicated server means your server is “hosted” in a shared environment with other, separate organizations.   A dedicated server is your organization’s own server and only contains your data. Why would my organization choose one option over the other? The answer to this question really depends on the classification level of your data, the governance rules of your organization and your country’s data sovereignty laws. That’s really not as complicated as it sounds. Data classification is all about how sensitive your data is and, therefore,
