What's New in SmartSuite: April 2026
April’s announcements focus on making SmartSuite more intelligent and action-oriented, with major enhancements to AI Field Agents, forms, and dashboard-driven workflows—enabling faster, more structured data capture and more intuitive user experiences across the platform.
View Based Widgets: Support for Custom Buttons
The hardcoded Add New Record button on every view-based widget has been replaced with a configurable button bar that supports up to ten custom buttons. Service desks, compliance boards, and project dashboards built on Grid, Card, Calendar, Timeline, Chart, or Gantt widgets get full button configurability without rebuilding anything.
Key Highlights
- Configurable Button Bar: View-based widgets share the same button component used in Button Row widgets, replacing the old hardcoded button.
- Up to Ten Buttons: Configure as many as ten buttons per widget, with the first two visible and the rest under a '...' overflow.
- Broad Widget Support: Grid, Card, Calendar, Timeline, Chart, and Gantt widgets all pick up the change in the same release.
- Service Desk Friendly: ITSM teams can place Create Ticket, Open Form, Open URL, and Run Script buttons side by side on a single widget.
- Safe Migration: Existing widgets with Allow Inline Edit or Allow Edit enabled get an automatic Create-a-Record button preserving the previous label, color, and target table, so no flows break.
How It Works
- Open a view-based widget's configuration to access the new Buttons section, where you can add, remove, reorder, and configure each button.
- Each button supports the standard properties: Label, Icon, Color, Tooltip or Description, Ask for Confirmation, and Action.
- Supported actions include Open URL, Create a Record (with default values), Open a Form, and Run a Script, identical to Button Row buttons.
- During the upgrade, the system migrates existing buttons automatically: Allow Inline Edit and Allow Edit settings keep their other behaviors but no longer control the Add Record button.
- Chart Widgets do not get a migration button by default, since they did not previously expose Add Record.
Combine this with Open a Form to build dashboards where every common workflow is one click away from the right view.
Mobile: Timeline Widget
Timeline Widgets embedded in dashboards now render natively on the SmartSuite mobile app, with the same layout, scale options, and filter behavior as desktop. PMO leaders, portfolio managers, and operations teams keep one dashboard for everyone and trust that the experience matches across devices.
Key Highlights
- Full Mobile Rendering: Timeline Widgets show the complete timeline layout on phones and tablets.
- Dashboard Filter Support: Existing Filter Widget links to a Timeline Widget continue to work, narrowing the timeline by team, status, or release window the same way they do on desktop.
- PPM-Ready: Portfolio dashboards, sprint trackers, and operations coordinators get a consistent experience across devices.
- Touch Controls: Pinch to zoom, drag to pan, and tap a record bar to open the record detail in mobile context.
- Permission Aware: Dashboard edit permissions and record-level permissions apply on mobile the same way they apply on desktop.
How It Works
- Open any dashboard that contains a Timeline Widget on the mobile app to see the new rendering.
- Existing widget configuration carries over, including the Default Scale, Allow Inline Edit, Display Toolbar, and Display Records Listing settings.
- The Scale control collapses into a dropdown when the widget renders in a narrow column, mirroring the desktop responsive behavior.
- Tap any record bar to open the record detail panel for inline edits when dashboard and record permissions allow.
- Dashboard owners' settings changes flow to the backend the same way they do on desktop; non-owner viewers see the configured state without persisting their own changes.
Update the SmartSuite mobile app to the latest version to see Timeline Widgets render in full.
Mobile: Timeline View
Timeline View now runs natively in the SmartSuite mobile app, with the same layout, scale options, and inline edit behavior as the desktop client. Project managers, PMO leads, and any team running a Timeline View can review schedules and milestone progress from a phone or tablet without losing fidelity.
Key Highlights
- Full Mobile Parity: Open any Timeline View directly from the mobile app, with the same fields, dependencies, and color coding as on desktop.
- PPM Ready: Portfolio reviews, release planning, and milestone tracking work the same way on a phone as they do on a laptop.
- Configurable Scale: Switch between Hours, Days, Weeks, and Months from the mobile view's scale control, defaulting to Days.
- Touch-Optimized: Pinch to zoom across time, drag to pan, and tap any record bar to open the record detail in mobile context.
- Permission Aware: Field-level and record-level permissions apply the same way on mobile as they do on desktop.
How It Works
- Open a solution that has a Timeline View configured and tap the view selector to switch to it.
- The view renders a touch-friendly timeline layout, automatically adapting controls for narrower screens.
- Pinch and drag gestures replace the desktop scrollbar and zoom controls; the toolbar collapses into a dropdown when space is tight.
- Tap a record bar to open the record detail panel for inline edits when permissions allow.
- All changes flow back to the underlying table the same way they do on desktop, so the team sees updates immediately.
Update the SmartSuite mobile app to the latest version to access Timeline View on the go.
Button Action: Open a Form
Dashboard buttons can now launch SmartSuite forms directly, opening them in an authenticated session inside the app. ITSM teams running service catalogs, GRC teams capturing attestations, and any builder who wants a one-click jump from action to data entry get a faster, in-context way to open the right form.
Key Highlights
- Open a Form Action: A button can launch any internal SmartSuite form, picked by Solution, Table, and Form name.
- Service Catalog Ready: ITSM service desks can wire each request type to its intake form for one-click submission from a dashboard.
- GRC Attestation Friendly: Compliance review boards can put control-attestation forms one click away from the underlying record.
- Flexible Display: Choose Popup (default), Slider, Fullscreen, or New Tab to control how the form appears on click.
- Authenticated Context: The form opens in internal mode, with the current user known, so field and record permissions apply automatically.
How It Works
- When configuring a button, choose Open a Form, then select a Solution and Table using the standard picker.
- The Form dropdown lists every form in the selected table in A-to-Z order; pick one to wire the action.
- The Open In setting controls whether the form appears as a Popup, Slider, Fullscreen, or in a New Tab on click.
- The form launches inside the SmartSuite app in a ready-to-fill state, so the current user submits as themselves with full attribution captured in the record's Created By.
- The action is supported across Button Row widgets, dashboard tabs, and view-based widgets, giving consistent behavior wherever buttons appear.
Pair this with Internal Forms to streamline service desks, compliance intake, and any workflow where the next step is filling out a form.
Button Row Widget: Card Display
The Button Row widget now offers a Card display style alongside the standard Button style. Service desks running request-routing dashboards, GRC teams running control attestations, and PMO leaders running portfolio panels get a more readable layout when each action needs a label, icon, color, and a description.
Key Highlights
- New Card Style: Pick Card under the Style Tab to render each button as a full card with rich-text description support up to 200 characters.
- Service Desk Ready: ITSM dashboards can pair each card with a description that explains what the action does, ideal for self-service intake.
- Up to Seven Per Row: Choose Auto or any value from 1 to 7 for cards per row, mirroring the Button-style configuration.
- Same Action Set: Card buttons support the same actions as standard buttons, including Open URL, Create a Record, Open a Form, and Run a Script.
- Enterprise Color Palette: A new palette of enterprise colors is available across both Button and Card styles for consistent branding.
How It Works
- Open a Button Row widget's settings and switch to the Style Tab to choose between Button (default) and Card.
- For each button, configure the Label, Icon, Color, Action, and a Tooltip (Button style) or Description (Card style) using the standard rich-text component.
- The Buttons-Per-Row dropdown controls how many cards display per row, with Auto sizing based on widget width.
- Existing Button Row widgets keep their current Button style on first load, so no dashboard breaks during the upgrade.
This is the first of several display refinements coming to dashboard widgets. Use Card style to give action-heavy boards the breathing room their actions deserve.
Form View: Support for Lookup Fields
We've enhanced our Forms experience by introducing support for Lookup fields. This update makes it easier for you to display related information from linked records right within your forms, ensuring data is clearly presented without the need to save the record.
Key Highlights
- Lookup Field Integration: Form creators can now include Lookup fields to automatically pull in related record details, offering richer context for form respondents.
- Automatic Update: Lookup field values populate as soon as their dependent Linked Record's value is updated, providing you with information about the related field even before the record is saved.
- Streamlined User Experience: The new setup prevents hidden Lookup fields from interfering with form submissions and keeps the form clean and functional across different stages of deployment.
How It Works
- Lookup fields now appear in the Form Editor, allowing you to select them and place them on your form canvas.
- The implementation guarantees that hidden fields won’t block form submissions, maintaining a smooth user experience throughout.
With this update you now have immediate access to details from selected Linked Records while you edit the form, improving visibility and enhancing the user experience.
Form View: Default Values
We've enhanced our Forms experience to simplify setting up default values for your fields. With this update, you can now choose to set default values for specific fields. This ensures that you always have the flexibility to enable or disable the default value functionality without losing any previously configured settings.
Key Highlights
- Broad Field Support: Default values can be configured for Text, Text Area, numeric, and select fields, as well as special fields such as Assigned To, Date, and Due Date (for internal forms).
- Transparent UI Behavior: When the flag is activated, a dedicated field picker component appears, offering you a choice between field values and system values (details about the current user and environment) ensuring that you can easily pick from any available options, including predefined user and date/time values.
- Override field-level defaults: Specifying a form-level default value will override the field's own default value, allowing you to tune the user experience for specific workflows.
How It Works
- Upon activation, users will see the field picker component, making it simple to select default values based on the specific field type.
- Even if the flag is later disabled, any default values that have been set remain intact and can be restored simply by re-enabling the feature.
- The entire update is built to seamlessly integrate into your form creation process, with clear guidance provided via our design and requirements documentation.
This update is designed to give you greater control over your Forms experience, making it easier and more intuitive to manage default data inputs. Enjoy a more streamlined and customizable form setup with SmartSuite!
Button Action: Create a Record
We’re excited to roll out a new button action that streamlines record creation across dashboards and widgets. This feature lets you open a Record Page pre-populated with static default values, ensuring a smoother and more structured workflow.
Key Highlights
- New “Create a Record” action: Quickly launch a new record directly from dashboards or view widgets.
- Predefined default values: Set static values that override field-level defaults for consistent data entry.
- Enhanced enterprise workflows: Ideal for self-service request portals and multi-entry dashboards, keeping record creation simple and controlled.
- Broad support across interfaces: Now available in Dashboard tabs, Button Rows, Hero sections, and Simple Banners.
How It Works
- In button configuration, selecting the Create a Record action type will prompt you to select the table you want to create a record in.
- You can optionally define default values for the new record, which will override any field-level default values.
- Once configured, clicking the “Create a Record” button will open a new record in the selected table, with any configured default values applied.
This enhancement is designed to support a controlled intake workflow while preserving consistency with existing record template logic. Enjoy a more direct and efficient way to create records in SmartSuite!
AI Field Agent: Expanded Field Support
We've enhanced our platform by extending AI Field Agent support to a broader range of field types. Now, you can leverage AI Field Agent capabilities on Title (manual), Text, Number, Status, Multiple Select, and Link fields to streamline your record creation and data management processes.
Key Highlights
- Expanded Field Support: AI Field Agent now works with Title (manual), Text, Number, Status, Multiple Select, and Link fields.
- Updated Prompt Data: Improved prompt handling for Single/Multiple Select and Status fields now include choices, descriptions, and numeric values (when applicable) when sending field data, providing clearer context for AI processing.
- Backend & Frontend Updates: Both the underlying services and user-facing components have been refreshed to support these additional fields.
How It Works
- All supported field types now include an AI Field Agent configuration section in field settings.
- AI Field Agent outputs for list-type fields (Single/Multi Select, Status) are automatically constrained to their configured values.
- The system automatically passes additional field settings (choice descriptions and numeric values) as part of the API request, eliminating extra configuration steps.
This update is available to all users across all plans. Enjoy a smarter, more efficient way to interact with your data!
Forms: Review Page
Multi-page forms now support an optional Review Page that lets users confirm their answers before submitting, with one-click edits back to any page. Service desk intake, compliance attestations, and any form with consequential downstream effects gets a built-in safety check at the end.
Key Highlights
- Built-In Review Step: Add a single Review Page to any form to give users one last look at their answers before submission.
- Page-Grouped Answers: Fields display grouped by the page they live on, with the page name as a heading and an Edit button to jump back.
- Configurable Title and Description: Set custom copy for the review header, or use the defaults ('Please review your submissions' and 'Update any relevant information as needed.').
- Per-Field Selection: Choose which fields appear on the Review Page; by default all form fields are pre-selected, including conditionally visible ones.
- Smart Empty States: Unanswered fields show as 'Unanswered', Yes/No fields default to 'No', and fields with configured default values show their default rather than appearing empty.
How It Works
- Add a Review Page from the Pages control at the bottom of the form canvas; one Review Page is allowed per form, and it always sits in a fixed position before the Submission Page.
- Configure the Title and Description for the review header, both with translation support for the default values.
- In the Fields to Review setting, deselect any fields you do not want users to confirm; everything else appears as a Label-Value pair grouped by source page.
- When a user reaches the Review Page, they see all their answers and can click Edit next to any page name to navigate back, make changes, and return.
- The Submit button only appears on the Review Page (or the last Form Page if no Review Page is configured), so users always know they are at the final step.
Use the Review Page wherever a submitter benefits from a confidence check before their answers commit, especially in service desk intake, compliance attestation, and structured onboarding flows.
Forms: Support for Multiple Pages
SmartSuite Forms now support multiple pages with a built-in Review step and a configurable post-submit experience. Service desks running long intake forms, GRC teams gathering attestations across multiple control areas, and HR teams onboarding new hires can pace longer forms cleanly instead of presenting one wall of fields.
Key Highlights
- Multiple Form Pages: Group related fields into pages, with up to 10 pages per form including an optional Review page.
- Three Page Types: Form Pages hold the fields, the optional Review Page lets users confirm answers before submitting, and the Submission Page handles the post-submit message or redirect.
- Automatic Navigation Buttons: The system shows Next, Back, and Submit buttons in the right places based on which page the user is on, with no manual configuration.
- Page-Level Field Moves: Any field can be moved between pages from its three-dot menu, keeping a form organized as it grows.
- Progress Bar Pairing: Form Pages work hand-in-hand with the new Progress Bar option on the Style Tab to show users their position in a multi-step form.
How It Works
- Open a form's Pages control at the bottom of the canvas to add, rename, reorder, or delete pages.
- Add a Review Page (one per form, optional) to show users their answers grouped by page, with an Edit button next to each page name for jumping back to make changes.
- Configure the Submission Page to either display a thank-you message (with a customizable title, description, and optional icon) or redirect submitters to a URL.
- The form's Title and Header display on every page, so the form's identity stays clear no matter which page the user is on.
- The Submit button only shows on the last Form-type page; Back and Next buttons appear automatically on the right pages.
Use this to break long forms apart into manageable steps, especially for service desk intake, compliance attestation, structured HR onboarding, and any workflow where the form would otherwise feel overwhelming.
Forms: Linked Record Table Display
Linked Record fields on forms can now display as a table with configurable columns from the linked record's table. ITSM service desks linking to existing tickets, GRC teams linking evidence to controls, and PMO intake linking to active initiatives can give submitters far more context inline than the previous title-only display.
Key Highlights
- New Table Display Format: Pick Table from a Linked Record field's display options to render linked records as rows in an inline table.
- Configurable Columns: Use the Fields to Display control to pick which fields from the linked record's table show as columns; the Title field is pre-selected by default.
- Inline Context for Submitters: Show ticket priority, control status, project sprint, or any other field inline next to the linked record, so submitters do not have to guess what they are linking.
- Familiar Record Selection: Submitters click '+ Link to {Table}' to open the standard record-picker modal, then remove rows with a single X click.
- Backward Compatible: The Standard format (text or pills) is unchanged and remains the default, so existing forms are not affected.
How It Works
- Open a Linked Record field's settings on a form and pick Table as the display format.
- The Fields to Display control appears; pick the fields from the linked record's table that should show as columns. Title is selected by default.
- The Record Selector setting is hidden when Table is chosen, since the modal picker is the default selection method.
- Submitters see the table inline and use the Link button to add records or the X button on a row to remove one without a confirmation prompt.
- Each linked record's field values render as plain text in the table columns; column ordering follows the order you selected fields in the configuration.
Use Table Display anywhere submitters need to see what they are linking to, especially in service desk intake forms (priority and owner inline), GRC evidence forms (control status), and project intake (sprint and dependencies).
Restore Solutions from Recycle Bin
Solutions deleted in error can now be restored from the Recycle Bin, complete with every child object and even the Linked Record relationships to other Solutions. Solution Managers running short-lived Solutions for projects, audits, or pilots gain a safety net that previously required IT-level intervention or a from-scratch rebuild.
Key Highlights
- Solution-Level Restore: Solution Managers and Account Admins can restore a deleted Solution from the User Profile Recycle Bin in a single click.
- Full Child Recovery: Restoring a Solution brings back all its applications, automations, reports, records and comments, fields, My Work items, and dashboard widgets.
- Cross-Solution Link Repair: Linked Records pointing from other Solutions get reconnected automatically when both Solutions are present, with Mirrored Links and dependent Lookups restored end-to-end.
- Disambiguating Names: Restored Solutions get a '(Restored)' suffix, with a number appended if multiple restores happen for the same name.
- Safe Bin Behavior: Child elements that were already in the bin before the Solution was deleted return to the bin on restore and continue counting their original deletion timer rather than resetting.
How It Works
- Solution Managers and Account Admins access the Recycle Bin from their User Profile to see deleted Solutions alongside other deleted items.
- Click Restore on a deleted Solution to begin the restore; the system walks the Solution's child objects and Linked Record relationships before completing.
- For Linked Records pointing to other Solutions, the system checks whether the target is still available: if yes, the link is restored along with the Mirrored Link and dependent Lookups; if no, the Linked Record remains in text mode until the target is restored.
- Permanent deletion is also available from the bin for Solutions that should be cleaned up rather than restored.
Use this to recover from accidental deletions without rebuilding from a backup, especially in environments where Solution Managers create short-lived Solutions for project planning, compliance audits, or feature pilots.
AI Field Agent: Manual Stop
AI Field Agents in the middle of generating can now be stopped manually. When generation runs long or gets stuck in a perpetual loading state, click Stop Agent next to the field to immediately return it to its regular state and discard the in-flight LLM response.
Key Highlights
- Stop Agent Button: A new Stop Agent button appears on every AI Field Agent currently in the generating state, with a 'Stop agent' tooltip on hover.
- Immediate Return: Clicking Stop returns the field to its regular state without waiting for the LLM response, so the user can continue working.
- Discarded Response: Any LLM response that arrives after a stop is discarded and does not write to the record, so the field stays in the state the user left it in.
- Configuration Preserved: Stopping an agent does not change its configuration; the prompt, the model, and any toggles stay in place for the next run.
- Free Runs Counted: Cancelled executions still count against the workspace's Free Runs pool, since the LLM call has already been issued at the point of cancellation.
How It Works
- When an AI Field Agent enters the generating state, a Stop Agent button appears next to the field.
- The button is available wherever the agent renders: inline editing in Grid View, the Record Page, and the Record Details Widget.
- On click, the field reverts to its regular state immediately, abandoning the in-flight LLM call from the user's perspective.
- The system listens for the LLM response in the background and discards it on arrival; the record value is never updated by a cancelled run.
- The agent's configuration is untouched, so the next manual run or automatic trigger executes normally without reconfiguration.
Use this when an AI Field Agent is taking too long, when a slow model is blocking inline editing, or when an agent appears stuck and you need to recover the field without disabling the agent.
Internal Forms
Forms now support an Internal mode designed for authenticated, in-app submissions. ITSM service desk teams, GRC compliance leads, and any builder running an internal intake workflow can collect data with full awareness of the signed-in user, complete with field-level permission enforcement and submitter attribution captured on the record.
Key Highlights
- Two Operational Modes: Every form can run as Internal (in-app, authenticated) or Shared (public link), independent of one another, with both modes available on the same form simultaneously.
- Authenticated Submissions: Internal forms know which SmartSuite user is filling them out, opening the door to user-aware logic, permission enforcement, and per-user defaults.
- Permission-Aware Fields: Field-level view and edit restrictions apply to internal forms; fields a user cannot view are hidden, and fields they cannot edit are read-only.
- Service Desk Intake: ITSM teams can build authenticated intake forms that capture the requester's identity automatically, with no manual entry of who submitted.
- Submitter Attribution: An extended Created By model captures the submitter, the form title, and the source type, displayed as 'Created by [Member] via [Form Title] Form' in the activity history and on the record page.
How It Works
- Open any form's configuration; Internal mode is automatically available without any toggle, and the Shared (public link) state remains independent.
- Internal forms can be opened from a Form View inside the app or launched from the new Open a Form button action on dashboards.
- When a user opens an internal form, the system loads it inside the SmartSuite app context, applies their permissions, and pre-resolves any user-aware defaults.
- On submission, the record is created with the submitter as Created By, plus a Source Type (Form) and Source Title (the form's name) for full traceability.
- Automation triggers that listen for 'When a form is submitted' fire for both internal and shared submissions, so existing automations work unchanged.
This release is the foundation for richer in-app form workflows, underpins the new Open a Form button action shipping alongside it, and the Created By extension carries forward to upcoming workflow actions like MS Teams Actionable Notifications.
Automations: Dynamic values in URLs
The Rich Text URL control now accepts dynamic field values, so URLs across SmartDoc, automation messages, and embedded rich-text content can resolve to the right record at runtime instead of pointing to a single hardcoded destination. ITSM teams sending MS Teams Actionable Notifications, GRC teams linking evidence pages to source records, and any builder embedding contextual links in rich text get a foundational upgrade.
Key Highlights
- Dynamic URL Composition: Highlight text in any rich-text field, click the URL control, and insert a field placeholder using the same picker that powers automation message bodies.
- ITSM Notification Foundation: The Open Record button on the upcoming MS Teams Actionable Notification action uses this capability to link straight to the relevant ticket or change request.
- SmartDoc Live Links: Rich-text URLs in SmartDoc fields can now resolve to the correct record on every view, no manual editing per record required.
- Single Underlying Control: The same dynamic URL control works everywhere the Rich Text component is used, so a builder learns the pattern once and applies it across surfaces.
- Backward Compatible: Existing static URLs continue to function unchanged, so no automation or SmartDoc content needs to be migrated.
How It Works
- Highlight the text you want to link in any rich-text field, click the URL control, and the URL input now supports the standard field picker.
- Use the field picker to insert placeholders that the system resolves to the live value at runtime when the automation runs or the SmartDoc renders for a record.
- Static URLs remain valid input; you can mix static and dynamic segments in the same URL when the destination needs both.
- The change applies wherever the Rich Text URL control appears, giving consistent behavior across automation messages, SmartDoc fields, and any embedded rich-text input.
Pair this with the upcoming MS Teams Actionable Notification action to send approval requests that land recipients on the exact record that triggered the workflow.
Calendar View: Support for Cross-Solution Calendars
The Calendar View can now combine public calendars from multiple Solutions into a single primary calendar. PMO leaders coordinating across teams, operations leads building unified availability views, and anyone who has been maintaining duplicate calendars to bridge Solutions can consolidate to one rolled-up view.
Key Highlights
- Cross-Solution Roll-Up: Pull public calendar views from any Solution you have access to into a single primary calendar, instead of being limited to one Solution at a time.
- PMO Portfolio View: Combine engineering release schedules, marketing campaigns, and product launches in one calendar to coordinate across functions.
- Operations Visibility: One calendar can render team availability across HR, customer success, field service, and any other Solution holding scheduled work.
- Permission Aware: Each rolled-up calendar respects the source Solution's permissions, so users only see events from Solutions they have access to.
- Source-Of-Truth Editing: Drag, drop, resize, and inline edits flow back to the original Solution rather than creating cross-Solution copies, keeping each calendar's source clear.
How It Works
- In Calendar View configuration, the calendar source picker now shows public calendar views from all Solutions you have access to, not just the current Solution.
- Pick any combination of public calendars and the resulting Calendar View renders them together with the existing scale, drag-and-drop, and event-editing behavior.
- Events keep the visual identity of their source calendar (color, icon) so the rolled-up view stays scannable even with many sources.
- Permission checks happen per source calendar at render time, so a user without access to one of the source Solutions sees the rest of the calendar normally.
- Existing single-Solution Calendar Views continue to work unchanged; cross-Solution support is additive.
Use this to consolidate scheduling visibility across teams and Solutions, especially in PMO portfolio coordination, operations planning, and any role that has to look across multiple Solutions to plan their day.
Automations: Support for Team Field
The new Team field works end-to-end in automations: triggers, actions, loops, and notification routing. Service desks running approval workflows, GRC teams notifying ownership groups of compliance events, and any automation that previously had to fan out to individual members one at a time gets a more direct path.
Key Highlights
- Team as Action Input: Set a Team field's value from a static team name, a lookup, a formula, or any text source the field picker accepts.
- Team-to-User Mapping: Setting an Assigned To field from a Team field writes all team members to the destination, with the first member used when the destination is single-value.
- Smart Email Routing: Send Email actions go to the Team Email when set, or fall back to deduplicated individual member emails when targeting multiple teams.
- Notification Fan-Out: Send Notification actions reach every team member directly without per-member configuration, mirroring how individual assignment notifications work today.
- Loop Support: Use a Team field in a Loop step to iterate over team members and run per-member follow-up actions like creating tasks, sending personal updates, or generating reports.
How It Works
- In any automation action that targets a Team field, use the standard text input control to map the value, with field picker support for dynamic resolution.
- The Send Email action checks each target team for a Team Email, with the team email handling distribution when present and individual member emails sent (with deduplication across multiple selected teams) when not.
- Inactive or deleted teams encountered at runtime are skipped silently, consistent with how Assigned To handles deactivated members, so workflows stay running rather than failing on stale references.
- Validation respects table permissions: a team without explicit access to the target table is skipped at runtime rather than written, with the skip recorded in run history.
- Triggers fire when a Team field value changes, the same way they do for any other tracked field.
This release closes the loop on the Team field type: configure it once on the table, and every automation surface treats it as a first-class assignment source.
Introducing the Team Field
A new Team field type joins Assigned To as a first-class way to allocate work in SmartSuite. Service desks routing tickets to a service team, change-approval boards routing to an oversight team, and PMO leaders splitting work across squads can now treat teams as the unit of assignment, with full permission inheritance.
Key Highlights
- New Team Field: Pick Team from the Project Essentials field category, with single or multi-value selection and the same display options as Assigned To.
- Permission Inheritance: Team members get Contributor, Assignee, or Assignee+ access to records based on their team's table permission, exactly mirroring how individual assignment works today.
- ITSM Service Desks: Route a ticket to its target service team and every member of that team gains the right access automatically, with no per-user grant management.
- Team Email Routing: A new optional Team Email property handles notifications cleanly, sending to one address with the team's distribution list handling delivery, falling back to individual member emails when no team email is set.
- 'My Team' Filter: Build views scoped to 'Where Responsible Team is My Team' once and every user sees the records assigned to their own teams without per-user filter duplication.
How It Works
- When configuring a field, choose Team under Project Essentials, set single or multi-value, and pick from the list of teams with access to the table.
- Notifications honor the Team Email when set, or send to individual members with deduplication when the same person belongs to multiple selected teams.
- An Assigned To field can optionally link to a Team field as its Parent Team, narrowing the Assigned To picker to members of the currently selected team.
- Filter operators match Assigned To, including a new 'My Team' comparison value that resolves to the current user's team memberships at view time.
- Supported across Grid, Kanban, Form, Calendar, Timeline, Gantt, Map, and Charts, plus bulk update, import, public API, Document Designer, and formulas (as text for single-value, list for multi-value).
Use the Team field to clean up workflows that previously hacked around assignment via tags or duplicate Assigned To fields, especially in service desk intake, change management, and compliance ownership tracking.
What's New in SmartSuite: April 2026
April’s announcements focus on making SmartSuite more intelligent and action-oriented, with major enhancements to AI Field Agents, forms, and dashboard-driven workflows—enabling faster, more structured data capture and more intuitive user experiences across the platform.
View Based Widgets: Support for Custom Buttons
The hardcoded Add New Record button on every view-based widget has been replaced with a configurable button bar that supports up to ten custom buttons. Service desks, compliance boards, and project dashboards built on Grid, Card, Calendar, Timeline, Chart, or Gantt widgets get full button configurability without rebuilding anything.
Key Highlights
- Configurable Button Bar: View-based widgets share the same button component used in Button Row widgets, replacing the old hardcoded button.
- Up to Ten Buttons: Configure as many as ten buttons per widget, with the first two visible and the rest under a '...' overflow.
- Broad Widget Support: Grid, Card, Calendar, Timeline, Chart, and Gantt widgets all pick up the change in the same release.
- Service Desk Friendly: ITSM teams can place Create Ticket, Open Form, Open URL, and Run Script buttons side by side on a single widget.
- Safe Migration: Existing widgets with Allow Inline Edit or Allow Edit enabled get an automatic Create-a-Record button preserving the previous label, color, and target table, so no flows break.
How It Works
- Open a view-based widget's configuration to access the new Buttons section, where you can add, remove, reorder, and configure each button.
- Each button supports the standard properties: Label, Icon, Color, Tooltip or Description, Ask for Confirmation, and Action.
- Supported actions include Open URL, Create a Record (with default values), Open a Form, and Run a Script, identical to Button Row buttons.
- During the upgrade, the system migrates existing buttons automatically: Allow Inline Edit and Allow Edit settings keep their other behaviors but no longer control the Add Record button.
- Chart Widgets do not get a migration button by default, since they did not previously expose Add Record.
Combine this with Open a Form to build dashboards where every common workflow is one click away from the right view.
Mobile: Timeline Widget
Timeline Widgets embedded in dashboards now render natively on the SmartSuite mobile app, with the same layout, scale options, and filter behavior as desktop. PMO leaders, portfolio managers, and operations teams keep one dashboard for everyone and trust that the experience matches across devices.
Key Highlights

This update enhances your experience by providing greater control over inline editing and record display without compromising on usability or clarity. Enjoy a more intuitive way to work with your Linked Records!
Single Sign-On (SSO): Support Logout URL
We’re excited to introduce a new update to Single Sign-On that gives administrators more control over the logout experience. You can now direct users to a custom URL after they sign out of SmartSuite. This is especially helpful for SSO environments where ending a SmartSuite session does not automatically end the session with the identity provider.
Key Highlights
- Custom Redirect URL: SSO administrators can now add an optional URL in the SSO configuration modal to redirect users after logout.
- Simple Configuration: The new Logout Landing Page field matches the style and behavior of other configuration inputs.
- Helpful Guidance: The field includes the placeholder Write here and helper text: Users will be redirected to this URL after they log out.
- URL Validation: SmartSuite validates the URL before saving. If the URL is invalid, a red validation message appears beneath the field.
- Consistent Logout Behavior: When a valid URL is configured, users are redirected after logout across supported SmartSuite logout flows.
- No Change by Default: If no URL is provided, logout behavior remains unchanged.
How It Works
- In the Manage Single Sign-On settings, you’ll see a new optional field labeled Logout Landing Page.
- Enter a valid URL to define where users should be sent after logging out of SmartSuite.
- If the URL is invalid, the configuration cannot be saved until the issue is corrected.
- Once saved, the configured URL will be used after logout for users in workspaces with SSO enabled.
- If the field is left blank, SmartSuite will continue using its default logout behavior.
This update makes it easier to support logout flows that extend beyond SmartSuite, including scenarios where users also need to be signed out of their identity provider. It’s a simpler, more flexible way to create a cleaner SSO logout experience.
Scripting: Subscribe to Filter Widget State Changes
We’re excited to roll out a new Scripting capability: Subscribe to Filter Widget state changes. Previously, Script widgets had no way to access or stay in sync with the state of other dashboard widgets. This update removes that limitation, allowing script widgets running in sandboxed iframes to automatically receive filter state and respond to changes in real time. The result is dashboards that behave more like interactive applications rather than static reports.
Key Highlights
- Real-Time State Awareness: Script widgets can now receive events when a subscribed Filter widget changes. Previously, filter values were not accessible to scripts.
- Initial State Access on Load: Each Script widget now receives the current filter state when it initializes, ensuring it starts with the correct context.
- Targeted Subscriptions: Subscribe to specific Filter widgets so only relevant filter changes trigger your scripts.
- Enhanced Dashboard Interaction: Build responsive, interconnected dashboards where widgets react dynamically to shared state.
- Built for the Future: The underlying design supports future expansion to additional dashboard events, such as grid selection or record focus changes.
How It Works
- Script widgets subscribe to one or more Filter widgets using a secure subscription API that delivers both the current filter state and subsequent updates directly to the script.
- When a Filter widget changes, the subscribed script receives an event with the latest selection data and can respond automatically.
- The subscription model ensures scripts stay synchronized with filter state throughout the dashboard session.
- Multiple Script widgets can subscribe independently, with subscriptions scoped to the active dashboard session to prevent cross-interference.
This update removes a long-standing limitation around cross-widget awareness and enables true event-driven scripting on dashboards—unlocking more dynamic, context-aware SmartSuite experiences.
Calendar View Widget
We've made several updates to the Calendar view and widget to give you a cleaner, simpler, and more intuitive experience. These changes are part of our ongoing work to improve layout consistency and responsiveness across SmartSuite.

- Record Listing Button: The Record Listing button now sits below the main toolbar. Even when the toolbar is turned off, the button is always easy to access and automatically reduces in size when the widget is resized.
- Adaptive Scale Controls: On smaller widget widths (2 columns), the standard scale buttons (Hours, Day, Week, Month) have been replaced with a dropdown menu. This ensures a neat, uncluttered interface while still offering all available views.
- Clean Widget Header: The horizontal line that appeared under the widget title in previous versions has now been
removed for a more open and consistent design—mirroring the look of the Timeline widget.
How It Works
- When you open the Calendar widget or view, you’ll notice the navigation arrows are now all aligned to the left, making it easier to switch between dates.
- The repositioned Record Listing button remains visible below the toolbar, with its size automatically adjusting if the widget becomes smaller.
- For smaller displays, the scale control buttons transform into a dropdown list. This dropdown includes options for Hours, Day, Week, and Month, ensuring all view modes are still at your fingertips.
- The header has been refreshed by removing the divider below the title to match the clean aesthetic found in other similar widgets.

Charts: Advanced Formatting for X and Y Axis
We’re excited to introduce new advanced formatting options for your chart axes. Now you can precisely control the numerical display for both X and Y axes in your charts, making your data visualization clearer and more tailored to your needs.
Key Highlights
- Formatting Settings Button: For every applicable axis, you’ll see a dedicated “Formatting Settings” button that gives you complete control over number, currency, or percent displays.
- Customizable Modal: Clicking the button opens a modal where you can adjust settings such as precision, decimal and thousands separators, large number abbreviations, and even the currency code when needed.
- Smart Defaults: If you choose not to customize, the system will automatically use formatting options pulled from the first numeric field in your Values section, and will continue to auto-adjust unless you’ve made a manual change.
How It Works
- For each supported chart type - including dashboard views, standalone charts, and embedded widgets - a “Formatting Settings” button appears on any numeric axis that can be formatted.
- When you click the button, a modal appears displaying all available formatting options.
- Select your desired formatting type (Number, Currency, or Percent) and further adjust specific settings like precision and separators to suit your data.
- The system initially applies default formatting based on the first numeric value entered, and it will update automatically as field orders change until you open the modal and set your own preferences.
- Once you define your custom settings, they remain consistent even if you rearrange chart fields later on.
This enhancement ensures your charts are not only more visually appealing but also perfectly formatted to highlight your key data insights.
Scripting: Additional Utility Functions
We’ve rolled out a series of improvements designed to make your SmartSuite scripting experience more intuitive and powerful. This update boosts usability and security while adding several highly requested functions for handling files, navigation, external requests, and UI styling.

How It Works
- Developers can now leverage a set of new SDK methods—such as download_data(), redirect_to(), get_file(), and get_grid_selections()—to perform file downloads, secure navigation, and data retrieval with a simple postMessage to the SmartSuite host.
- When using download_data(), the script encodes the file’s data and securely triggers a download without redirecting the user away from the current tab.
- The redirect_to() function safely hands off navigation tasks to the SmartSuite host, ensuring that only valid, permitted destinations are used.
- For external HTTP calls, proxyFetch routes your request through our secure server-side endpoint, while a dedicated UI allows you to configure a URL allowlist for added safety.
- Lastly, injecting basic CSS into iframes helps maintain consistent styling across components embedded in your scripts, making your customizations look great every time.
This comprehensive update is aimed at simplifying your development process and enhancing overall script functionality in SmartSuite. Enjoy faster, more secure, and visually cohesive scripting!
Charts: Enhanced Numeric Formatting in Tooltips
We’ve rolled out an update to our charts that improves the way numeric values are displayed when you hover over any chart segment. Previously, tooltips ignored your custom numeric formatting options, which could leave your charts looking off. Now, tooltips accurately reflect settings like decimals, thousands separators, currency symbols, and more - making your data presentations look both precise and professional.
Key Highlights
- Field-Level Formatting: Chart tooltips now display numeric values using the formatting settings you define for each field.
- Broad Compatibility: This enhancement applies to all Chart Views, whether you’re using standalone features or embedded Chart Widgets.
- Consistent Appearance: Whether it’s a formula, lookup, or standard numeric field, the appropriate decimal precision, currency symbols, and large number abbreviations are respected.
