26.06 Release Notes

Analytics

File widgets moved to the file dashboard (app level)

File-related widgets on the Content dashboard (app level) now sit on the File dashboard (app level). This groups widgets more intuitively, so file insights are where you expect them and you spend less time moving between dashboards.

The following widgets move:

• Most viewed intranet videos

• Least viewed intranet videos

• Intranet videos

No action is needed from administrators. All existing widget configurations and data carry over during the transition.

Who's this for: App managers, Content managers

Comms AI

Calendar view mode not available (Beta)

In the planner's calendar view, your choice of week or month view stays in place until you change it, which suits people who prefer a particular view.

Who's this for: App managers

Recent updates filter now available (Beta)

When you filter recent updates to show only certain types, those filters stay applied until you remove them.

Who's this for: App managers

Anyone with activity access can delete content drafts (Beta)

Previously only the creator could delete a draft, which stopped others sharing the workspace from acting on it. Now any member, admin, or owner in a workspace can delete a content draft.

Who's this for: App managers

Learn more about activity access for delete content drafts

Content

Translated content title in notifications

Simpplr now translates content titles and summaries in notifications. Users see translated titles and summaries across all notification channels: in-app, mobile push, SMS, web push, and email. This extends the existing content translation support to notifications, giving users a more localized and seamless experience.

Who's this for: All users

Must Reads has a refreshed, modernized interface that improves readability and scanning. The updated layout delivers better visual hierarchy, improved spacing, clearer unread and read indicators, and enhanced content presentation for a more streamlined experience across the page.

This is a UI enhancement only. Must Read functionality and workflows stay the same.

Who's this for: All users

Topics screen UI refresh

This is a UI enhancement only. Topics functionality and behavior stay the same.

Who's this for: All users

Integrations and extensibility

Masked credential fields for integrations and app tile configurations

Password and sensitive credential fields are now masked by default across integrations and app configurations, reducing the risk of accidental exposure and aligning with standard security practice.

Masking applies to:

• Custom app connection setup

• API action configurations

• Endpoint testing dialogs

• OAuth and token configuration screens

• Any modal or inline form that captures credentials or secrets

Supported fields include passwords, API keys, access tokens, client secrets, and authentication secrets.

Who's this for: Admins, App managers, Integration managers

Learn more about masked credential fields for integrations and app tile configurations

Enhanced query parameter formatting for custom API actions

Custom API actions now support flexible query parameter formatting for enterprise APIs that use expression-based query syntax, such as Oracle HCM and similar platforms that rely on advanced query formats to retrieve user-specific data.

What you can now do:

• Use query parameter formats such as q=personNumber=1471230.

• Use dynamic variable substitution, for example q=personNumber={{employeeNumber}}, which resolves at runtime using the user's values.

For example, an input of key q and value personNumber={{employeeNumber}} resolves to a request of /absences?q=personNumber=1471230.

Configuration options:

• Enter raw query expressions.

• Configure flexible key-value query formats.

• Disable automatic encoding for supported parameters.

Query structures stay intact without unwanted splitting or encoding, dynamic variables are validated before execution, and clear errors appear for invalid formatting. Existing API configurations continue to work without changes.

Who's this for: Admins, App managers, Integration managers

Platform

Improved footer experience with flexible app download options

The footer now gives mobile app download options better visibility and accessibility. App managers can choose between compact icons or classic app store logos to match their branding and user preferences. Icon sizes and clickable areas are larger, which improves usability and accessibility across devices. Existing configurations stay consistent, and some tenants continue with the icons-only experience.

Who's this for: App managers

Enhanced task management with reassignment, recurring tasks, and a daily digest

Task management now offers more ownership flexibility, consistency, and visibility:

• Reassignment: Reassign tasks to other users while keeping an audit trail, capturing the reason for reassignment, and preserving the correct task lifecycle.

• Recurring tasks: Automate task creation on a defined schedule to cut repetitive manual work.

• Daily digest: Receive a consolidated email summary of overdue, due, and at-risk tasks, with quick links to take action.

Who's this for: Task managers

Learn more about enhanced task management

Okta OAuth 2.0 support for oeople data and apps integrations

We've enhanced our Okta integrations by adding support for OAuth 2.0 authentication for both People Data and Apps integrations. Admins can now configure Okta using a Client ID and generate a secure token directly within Simpplr, reducing reliance on API token-based authentication. Existing Okta integrations will continue to work without disruption and can be migrated to OAuth 2.0 at any time.

This update improves security while ensuring a seamless transition for existing customers.

Who's this for: App managers

Enterprise & Global search

Multilingual search support

Search and Smart Answers are now more usable for employees working across different languages.

With this release, you can:

• Search in your own language.

• See result titles and snippets in your profile language where multilingual metadata is available.

• See Smart Answers in your profile language.

Results are still ranked by relevance first, with the multilingual presentation applied after retrieval. Search behavior stays stable, grounded, and scalable.

Who's this for: All users and Admins

Learn more about multilingual search support

Manage vs consume support for search

For users with manage permissions, search results now show only the results they can access as an end user by default, which keeps results focused and relevant. Where applicable, they can use the View all filter to include additional results available through their manage permissions.

Who's this for: All users, Admins and Content managers

Learn more about manage vs consume support for search

Employee Newsletter

Email notification and automatic ticket creation on newsletter sending failure

This release brings together the full set of capabilities that handle a newsletter sending failure end to end. When a newsletter fails to send, the platform automatically retries the send, emails the relevant team, and attaches an auto-generated ticket to the failure notification so the issue can be tracked and resolved without manual triage.

Who's this for: Newsletter managers

Learn more about email alerts and auto ticket creation for newsletter failures

Improved newsletter experience for ABAC-secured surveys

When you add or view a survey in a newsletter, the editor respects the survey's ABAC restrictions. What you see depends on your role, and may differ from what recipients see.

Recipients continue to see a survey only when they're part of its target audience.

In the editor:

• Feature owners and app managers see every survey, regardless of target audience.

• Feature managers see a survey when its access control group (ACG) shares their target audience.

• Standard users see only surveys whose target audience includes them.

Error messages in the editor follow the same logic, so the feedback you see reflects what your role can access. If a survey you expect to see isn't appearing, it's likely outside your access. Contact a feature owner or app manager if you need it surfaced.

Who's this for: Newsletter managers

Learn more about improved newsletter experience for ABAC-secured surveys

Quick access to a newsletter's scheduled or sent date and time

The dates tied to a newsletter's current state are now available on hover over the status field in the listing table. Previously you had to edit the newsletter or open the audit log to find them.

Who's this for: Newsletter managers

Learn more about quick access to a newsletter's scheduled or sent date and time

Employee listening

Dedicated notification control for surveys

Survey notifications now have their own control, separate from other org communications. Previously the setting sat under Manage > Application > Defaults > Org communications and was greyed out, so even app managers could not adjust it.

Surveys now appear as a separate feature in:

• Manage > Application > Defaults

• User profile > My settings > Notifications

Organizations and users can now manage survey notifications independently, as they already do for Feed, Events, and Polls. Settings cover email and mobile notifications.

Who's this for: App managers

Learn more about dedicated notification control for surveys

Poll configuration improvements

Poll configuration settings are reorganized within Manage Application to match the platform's wider feature-level configuration structure, giving app managers a more consistent setup experience.

• The Polls enable or disable toggle moves from Manage > Application > Setup > Employee listening to Manage > Application > Setup > General.

• Poll configuration now includes an AI status indicator showing whether Poll generator (AI) is enabled or disabled in the AI controls section.

Who's this for: App managers

Learn more about poll configuration improvements

Forms

Edit published forms

Form creators and managers can now update specific parts of a published form.

Supported post-publish updates:

• Add new blocks or options.

• Rename questions, options, and pages.

• Reorder questions and options.

• Update supported settings, such as the Required or Multi-select toggles.

Who's this for: Form creators, Form managers, Form participants

Learn more about editing published forms

Form closing date display improvements

Closing dates now read more clearly and align with platform standards. Forms without a closing date no longer show the "No end date" label, which has been removed.

Closing dates now display dynamically, based on how close the form is to closing:

• 3 days or fewer remaining: "Closes today" or "Closes in X days"

• More than 3 and up to 15 days remaining: "Closes in X days"

• More than 15 days remaining: the actual closing date, for example "Closes on May 09, 2026"

Who's this for: Form creators, Form managers, Form participants

Learn more about Form closing date display improvements

Mobile app

Quick tasks: incomplete and reopening task flows

The enhanced Quick Tasks lifecycle now extends to the native mobile app. Task managers can mark tasks as "Incomplete" during creation, which prevents users from completing them after the due date passes. Completed tasks can also be reopened when updates or corrections are needed, so work continues in the same flow without creating duplicate tasks.

Who's this for: Task managers

Learn more about incomplete and reopening task flows

People directory: refreshed mobile experience

The People Directory experience has been refreshed on mobile to make it easier to find and connect with colleagues. Users can now take advantage of improved filtering and sorting capabilities, view richer employee information directly from the directory, and access quick actions such as viewing contact information, viewing the org chart, following colleagues, and adding favorites.

Who's this for: All users

Messaging – Enhanced collaboration experience

Messaging on mobile now includes several new capabilities designed to improve communication and productivity. Users can create ad hoc group conversations, forward messages, search within conversations, and send messages to themselves for personal notes and reminders. AI-powered conversation summaries are also available to help users quickly catch up on lengthy discussions.

Who's this for: All users
