What's new with the SimpleRisk 20201123-001 release?

On November 23, 2020, SimpleRisk went live with our Q4 2020 release.  This release primarily focused on fixing a number of bugs found in various places in the SimpleRisk Core and SimpleRisk Extras.

SimpleRisk Core

The biggest addition to the SimpleRisk Core in the 20201123-001 release is a new page to identify any broken files as a result of the upload bug in the 20201005-001 release.  Instances that were not impacted will not see it, but for those that were, you should see a new "Fix Upload Issues" page at the top of the list of options under the Configuration menu.  If you see this page, you will need to replace the identified file with a new version.  Once all impacted files have been fixed, this page will disappear.

Other items added into the SimpleRisk Core as part of this release are:

  • A warning message will be displayed if a user attempts to create a tag in excess of 255 characters in length.
  • An issue was fixed which caused problems viewing the edit and delete buttons in the Document Program page in Governance.
  • A UI bug was fixed in the User Management page under the Configure menu.
