Added a new button field type that allows you to trigger actions directly from a View or Record

‍

Button fields in SmartSuite allow users to add actions to their views and records, giving them control over when the action is triggered.

Currently, the Open URL action is available, which opens a specified URL in a new tab when clicked. This URL can be static or dynamic, using values from other fields in the record. In the future, additional action types will be added, including the ability to send emails, perform record operations, and trigger automations.

The button field's Properties page allows the user to configure the display format, button label, button color, and the desired action. The Open URL action can be set to either a static URL or a dynamic URL using the SmartSuite Formula Builder, which allows the user to combine field values, operators, functions, and text to create a customized link.

You can now control permissions at the field level, by selecting members or teams that can view and/or edit specific fields.

‍

Field-level permissions allow solution managers to define granular permissions for individual fields in their Table. This feature allows managers to control who can view and edit specific fields within the Table and works in combination with Table-level permissions.

‍

There are two aspects of field permissions: defining who can view the field's value and defining who can edit the field's value.

Solution managers can control who can view and/or edit the value of a specific field by selecting from the following options:

‍

Field permissions can be useful in situations where a broad population of users need access to some fields but not the internal workings of a department or team.

To configure field permissions, the Solution Manager must click on the field dropdown for the desired field, select "Edit Field Permissions," and choose from the available options for viewing and editing permissions. These changes will instantly be applied upon saved, and the field permission configuration can be changed at any time.

When configuring an Automation, you can now use a “Find records” action. This will search for records matching specific conditions that you can specify within the action settings.

‍

The "Find Record" action is a feature that allows you to build a list of one or more records that match specified conditions in a selected Solution and Table. The resulting list of records can then be used in a subsequent Update Records action to update fields in the matching record or records. The find can be configured by specifying the Solution and Table to perform the search on, optionally naming the search, specifying conditions for the find, and setting advanced settings such as limiting the number of records found and sorting the records by a specific field.

This feature can be useful in form submissions and support ticketing, where it can be used to find and update records with corresponding information, such as linking a submitted form to a contact or project record.

Our Time Tracking Log field type has been updated to support an "Auto Timer" feature.

A new timer tab has been added to the Time Tracking field which allows users to start a timer that records the amount of time they spend working on tasks and projects. The timer can be started by clicking the green play button, and users can also leave notes in a text box to indicate what they were working on.

A pill with the running time will be displayed in the bottom right corner as users access other records, tables, or solutions.

If the pill is clicked, the timer window will display and the timer can be stopped by clicking the red button. All of the recorded time will automatically be displayed in the time tracking log field.

We have made it easier to cut data from spreadsheets and other products and paste it directly into a Grid view.

The new bulk paste into Grid allows you to easily paste data copied from tools like Excel, Sheets, and Numbers, making it easy to transfer large amounts of data quickly and easily. The best part is, our system is smart enough to understand that a pasted value is a table and automatically spreads it across multiple rows and columns.

To initiate the import process, users can simply highlight any cell in the grid and hit Cmd/Ctrl+V. This ensures that the import process does not affect any of the cells located to the left of the selected cell or any rows located above the selected row. This allows you to paste data into any location in the grid without disrupting any existing data. Even read-only cells can be pasted to, giving you the flexibility to import data to any location in the grid.

Our Data Importer has been updated to handle larger data sets, perform more advanced data validation, and to auto-create fields within a Table.

SmartSuite's CSV Importer feature allows users to easily import data stored in a CSV file into SmartSuite records. The process is simple and straightforward, requiring just a few easy steps. Users can begin by clicking on the small arrow next to the Table's name, selecting Import Data, and then clicking on CSV Import. The Import dialog will then open, defaulting to the current Table as the import target.

Configuring the import parameters involves four steps: uploading the import file, mapping import columns to SmartSuite Fields or creating new fields, validating and cleaning up the data, and finally importing the data into SmartSuite. The import process supports various functionalities such as creating new records or updating existing ones, linking other records, and also importing Smartdoc fields that support HTML as its content

You are now able to publically share a read-only version of a solution in the same way that you can share grid views.
​

‍

‍Admins and Solution Managers can now share a read-only version of an entire solution via a link or by embedding it within a webpage. Includes the ability to require a passcode and also allows the user viewing the solution to download the structure and content - if this option has been enabled.
​
In the SmartSuite workspace, you can share a solution by clicking the "Share Solution" button in the dropdown menu of any solution. This will bring up a menu where you can get a link or embed code, allow users to view the solution, and copy it into another workspace.

Shared solutions can be secured with a password. If you allow users to copy the solution, they will see a "Copy Template" button when previewing it, which will allow them to choose a workspace where they have permission to add a solution.

Shared solutions will be indicated with icons on the home page and inside the solution.
