New features, improvements and updates from SmartSuite
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.
You can configure this setting in the "If no records are found" section of the Find records action configuration interface. It is available for both single and multiple record finds.
Record activity history has been updated to record email activities from the communications center. You'll now see emails sent and received, the sender, subject line, the time and date as well as the content of the email reflected in the containing record's history.
Click the view activity history button in the upper-right corner of the edit record interface to display a record’s history. Clicking the email history item will expand it to show you all of the details.
With the introduction of conditional sections you may now have fields and their sections that are not visible on the edit interface. We’ve enhanced the page settings capabilities to provide a convenient way to edit field and section properties even when they aren’t currently visible.
Open page settings from the edit record page’s 3-dot menu, then click on the Fields tab. You will see a list of fields grouped by their sections. Hovering a field will display buttons to edit field properties or change the field’s permissions. You can also drag and drop the fields to reorder them. Hover a section and you can click its 3-dot menu to change its properties, or click the up and down arrows to move the section.
The edit record interface has been enhanced to allow you to conditionally hide or show sections and their fields.The feature is available on all plans and Solution managers can access it from the Page Settings menu.
Click on the Sections Visibility tab to configure your conditions. You then have the ability to add one or more filters (or filter groups, which allow you to combine AND and OR logic) that specify the conditions that must be true for the section to be displayed.
The Slack automations action now supports dynamically selecting the target channel or user by referencing the value of a field in the record.
Now you can fully automate outbound messaging campaigns, distributing your Slack updates to the right audience without manual configuration or requiring multiple automations.
Enable dynamic mode by selecting Dynamic from the Configure dropdown. You can then select a field to retrieve the channel/user value that will be used for the dynamic match.
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.
You can narrow your search to only include comments by clicking on its tab in the Power Search interface.

You can now export several fields to PDF format without including the entire record content. Supported fields include:
You have a powerful 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.
Just select the Delete Records action from the action list to add it to your automation. You can then choose to delete the triggering record, or select (or add a new) Find Action to delete the records returned by the find.
The Email Field type has been updated to support a Require entries to be unique option. When checked, the field will require Members to enter a unique email address. No more duplicates in your CRM!
By popular demand we have increased the number of files you can attach in a Files & Images field in Forms to 25. Now you can really power up your media-focused workflows, making it easier for users to submit the files you need.
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 seamless integration with your site.
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 to create a streamlined user experience while retaining all of the information and functionality of the hidden fields.
To hide a field, open the Page Settings dialog and select the Fields tab. Clicking the hide field icon to the right of a field will hide it from view.
A new set of basic math operations is available for numeric fields in the Update Records action.

Use SmartSuite dot notation syntax to access Time Tracking Log Field information, including reporting user, date and time value.
Time Tracking Log Field now acts like a Linked Record, allowing you to retrieve information with all list-handling functions. Sub-Fields include:
Previously, sub-fields could only be displayed in the Grid view in a read-only mode.
From now on, they can be edited individually! Just like any other normal field.
The Dependency Field’s Predecessor and Successor information can now be displayed independently in grid, allowing you to edit and interact with them in the same way you would a Linked Record.
You can add Dependency subfields to the Grid View by opening Fields to Display, clicking the plus (+) icon to the left of Dependency, and then clicking Predecessor or Successor.
SmartSuite’s Make connector has been enhanced to add Advanced Settings to Updated Records triggers, allowing you to specify field values (and optional changes) that will trigger the scenario.

In the Update Records action, you can now specify the type of update for each field:
Just click the dropdown list displayed before the data entry portion of the field to change the behavior for individual fields.
You can now set up and manage conditions for sections’ visibility.
The feature is available on all plans and Solution Managers can access it from the Page Settings menu. Look for the Sections Visibility tab.
Click on the Section’s name to open a dialog where you can configure criteria that will be evaluated to determine if the Section should be displayed on the page.
Sophisticated Solutions often require multiple supporting tables. You can now choose to hide supporting tables, removing them from the table selector.
All tables and their data remain active and available for use with Linked Records, without cluttering the user experience.
Access hidden tables from the new table selector icon. Click the display icon next to the table name to hide or unhide the table.
With these new functions, you can get specific field values from a sorted list of related records. The functions include:
They can be used in combination with any field type that returns an array, like Sub-Items and Checklists.
GET_LIST() allows to run a query against related records of any type: Linked Records, Sub-items, and Checklist Items.
For example: On the Customer level, I want to get the Total Amount of the three most recent Orders that are in Shipped status.
A new toggle allows to choose between finding one or many records.
The results of each action have quite different uses in later steps.Let’s take a closer look.
Automate the process of locating duplicate records within a table, merging them seamlessly into a single, consolidated record - while simultaneously removing the older version for enhanced data clarity and accuracy.
To configure, select the Merge Records action to add it to your automation. You can then configure the matching criteria (how to determine that something is a duplicate) and specify the actions to take during the merge.
We have added nested field support for the Full Name and Address field types within automations.
This enhancement provides you with greater flexibility when configuring conditions and actions.
For example, you can set up an automation to trigger when only the City field is changed, and as a result, update only the State field.
You are now able to click on a Lookup field value in a View or Record to access the record, making it easy to review details or make necessary changes, subject to appropriate permissions.

Note that Solution Managers always possess this capability irrespective of the field setting.
