View Full Release Notes
Record View: Conditional Display of Sections
The edit record interface has been enhanced to allow you to conditionally hide or show sections and their fields. The record’s layout can adapt to certain workflows, showing sections only when they are needed.
Record View: Show / Hide Fields
You can now hide fields on the edit record page to keep your interface clean and organized. Hide supporting calculations or other information that users don’t need to interact with, to create a streamlined user experience while retaining all of the information and functionality of the hidden fields.
Page Settings: Manage Sections and Fields
With the introduction of conditional sections you may now have fields or sections that are not visible on the edit interface. We’ve enhanced the page settings capabilities to provide a convenient way to manage and edit field / section properties even when they aren’t currently visible.
Automations: Calculate to Update Record Action
A new set of basic math operations is available for numeric fields in the Update Records action. You may choose between using a Static value, a manual input, or a Dynamic value derived from another field.
Automation: Allow a choice to Fail / Continue in Find
The find records action has been enhanced to support the option to continue or fail (stop processing the automation) if no records are found. Selecting "fail" does not generate an error (or an email notification) - it simply stops the automation from continuing to the next action.
Automations: Delete Record Action
You have a new tool to use in your automations: the Delete Records action. Now you can delete records when specified conditions match, or find a list of records with the Find Action and delete in bulk.
Automations: Dynamic Slack Channel Support
The Slack automations action now supports dynamically selecting the target channel or user by referencing the value of a field in the record.
Views: Folder Permissions
View folders have been enhanced with a visibility setting. Now - in addition to grouping views in folders - you can determine which Member, Team or even users with particular roles can see a folder and the Views it contains.
Forms: Ability to Remove "Powered by SmartSuite" Footer
You can now hide SmartSuite branding on your shared Form Views. On the settings tab, uncheck the Display SmartSuite branding checkbox and the footer will be hidden (along with the header!) for a cleaner fit with your site.
Power Search: Comments
Power Search has been enhanced to index all record comments as well as their content. Now you can easily locate a record by keyword match to any text included in its comments.
