Simploud Administration

You can now easily filter out inactive users from groups and divisions using a new toggle, making it easier to identify active participants in the system.

Configuration Management

Designing Processes Through Configuration Items

Now, when we use the ‘Design a Process’ feature, requests become more structured.
We’ve improved the Design a Process feature by dividing it into dedicated sections—Workflow and Fields & Layout—to better match the types of requests for change typically submitted.

Now, when requesting a workflow change—like creating, removing, or updating steps—we’re directed straight to the Workflow section instead of a free-text field. Similarly, when requesting new fields or layout changes, the Fields & Layout section opens automatically.

This makes the requests more precise and structured, enabling an easier and more accurate configuration. 

Share your feedback when closing a configuration.

Now, when closing a configuration item, you’ll see a quick popup asking for your feedback. You can rate your satisfaction with the process using 1–5 stars and optionally leave a comment to help us improve.

Your input helps us fine-tune your experience and continue delivering top-notch support.

Template validation now available in the Configuration Center

You can now easily validate the Template object directly through the Configuration Center, ensuring accuracy and consistency before implementation.

Workflow & Tasks

Add accountability when reassigning participants

When changing a participant in a process, you now have the option to require a comment explaining the reassignment. This helps maintain context, improve traceability, and ensure transparency in workflow updates.

Task Due Date for Out Of Office Users

The system now can automatically recalculate the due date for Read and Understand (R&U) and Training tasks assigned to users who are Out of Office (OOO).

This feature takes into account both the duration of the user’s absence and the time initially allocated to complete the task, ensuring that users are not assigned unrealistic deadlines while out of the office and preventing unjustified deadline misses.

To activate the feature, the admin user needs to mark the user as Out Of Office in the Simploud administration page. This is done by clicking the “User Information” button beside the user’s name in the user list. Afterward, you can choose a proxy user – a user who can perform the tasks when the selected user is out of office. The last step would be adding the dates of the user’s absence so the system can perform the calculation.

Compliance

When creating a revision, any modifications made to the record details are now automatically logged in the Audit Trail of the new revision, with the note ‘Updated during a revision of the document.’ This ensures full traceability and improved compliance. 
If you experience issues signing documents while using SSO, you can now easily update your password using the new “E-signature Update” button available on the Home Page.
This button is visible only to users whose decision method is set to SSO, providing a quick and secure way to restore signing functionality.

Documents & Trainings

You can now define a default setting for your rendered documents.

Once set, any new document type will automatically inherit this default configuration — unless a different setting is specifically requested. This helps streamline setup and ensures consistency across document types.

A new toggle called “Consider Division” has been added to the Training Settings of each document.
When enabled, this feature automatically assigns the training task not only to the record owner, but also to all personnel who belong to the same division.

This ensures consistent training across teams and helps maintain alignment within departments.

In the Training Program object, you now have the option to hide the training completion rate shown next to each controlled document or training material. This rate reflects the percentage of users who have completed the training associated with that record.

This provides a cleaner interface and gives administrators more flexibility in presenting training progress to end users.

In every syllabus within the Training Program component, you’ll now see an “Update to Newer Version” button.


When clicked, the system will automatically update all obsolete and effective records linked to the syllabus to their latest versions — ensuring your training materials stay current and aligned with the most recent documentation.

You now have the flexibility to customize the numbering format for quiz answers in training tasks.

Choose between numbers, letters, or Greek numbering — allowing for a more tailored quiz experience that fits your organization’s style or compliance needs.

Prints Inputs & Outputs

In the new version, you can now configure different print layouts for the same record, based on its status.

This allows you to tailor the printed output depending on whether the record is, for example, Draft, Effective, or Obsolete — ensuring that each version displays the most relevant information for its stage in the lifecycle.

You now have the option to display all comments entered throughout the workflow process—when moving from one status to another—directly in the record print.

These comments are shown in a structured table format, this enhances traceability, accountability, and audit readiness.

Flexi Tables and Related Items

Now, in addition to selecting a sorting field in a table, you can also specify whether the sort should be in ascending or descending order.

This gives you greater flexibility and control over how table data is displayed and organized.

In Action Plan tables, you now have the option to copy all actions from another record.
This feature enables you to create and maintain template records, allowing you to apply their action plans to new records quickly. This saves time and ensures consistency, eliminating the need to build each Action Plan from scratch.

We’ve added a new button to the Related Items section that allows you to sort items alphabetically by name, instead of using the default created date order.

This enhancement makes it easier to find and organize related records, especially when working with large lists or standardized naming conventions.

Revision History

The Submissions object can now be configured to support revision-based processes.
This means that if you have workflows requiring revision control (in addition to Controlled Documents and Training material), you can now manage them directly within the Submissions object — providing greater flexibility and consistency across your documentation and approval processes.

Electronic Binders

You now have the option to download all records from a specific folder within a binder — not just at the binder level.

This enhancement provides more flexibility and control, making it easier to access and manage grouped documents based on your folder structure.
