New in SIMS v7.29

In this version of SIMS v7.29.77, SIMS Software has focused on enhancements to our self-service tools which include the newly redesigned SIMS Employee Portal, including the new Foreign Contact Web Submission. The new portal provides a new embedded menu with links to user accessible SIMS web pages. The portal displays a listview of Clearances, Special Accesses, Contracts, Foreign Travel, Foreign Contacts, and Training records, Documents, and Outgoing Visits. Employees can upload .pdf files directly in their portal to provide training certificates and signed forms directly to Security. Uploaded files are inserted on the Personnel Portal tab for the employee. Of note, when taking this release please be sure to download the user reference guide.

Many of our customers are already using the follow-on release v7.28.85, which focused on support for Personnel Vetting requirements including an updated setting for Reinvestigations, new Clearance Case fields and labels (SF-86 Date) and we expanded support for additional fields in the GSOR DISS Import Transaction. If you are not familiar with the updates in this release, please review on our website the ‘Product Updates’ section for an overview of the enhancements or reference the ‘Downloads’ section for the comprehensive list.

SIMS Dashboards:
Our goal is to post the compatible Dashboards release shortly following each SIMS release. Your SIMS version and SIMS Dashboards version need to be the same, so if you are a SIMS Dashboards user please wait for the Dashboards release before you upgrade your SIMS or your SIMS Dashboards will not be supported.  Contact support for a SIMS Dashboards demo or free 30-day test license.
