Highlights for this Release:
We listened and learned a lot from our September release. Aside from improvements to security functions, we've put an emphasis on making sure your team gets the communications you need about updates to SAM.
MFA Enhancements to remember devices
Passwords can be reset by users, no longer requiring SAM Leads or SAM's Support team
Client checklists are able to be viewed by all Users
Communication updates to login screen and access to SAM Lead's
We've added file types that SAM can accept, including .heic for Safari
Communication Updates
For future updates, we'll add a communication about upcoming releases to the login screen. We anticipate about 1 week prior to a release that a box will display with links to more info and important dates about the release.
We're going to begin communicating via email with all SAM Leads (Users with Full Admin access) that your team sets in SAM.
Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) Enhancements
Remember this device is available to be enabled by SAM Leads for your organization.
Set 1, 7, or 30 days to remember devices dependent on your security policies.
Two reports assist with visibility to your team's use of MFA
User | Security | MFA Registered Devices
User | Security | System-Emails Tracking
SAM Leads will need to enable Register this Device feature. See this guide for more on MFA.
Password Reset Improvement
User's can now reset their password without support from others
This is a best practice for password security
See our guides to:
Client Checklist visibility for all Users
Finally!! SAM now allows all users (not just Full Admins) to view checklists from the client's perspective.
We received so much excited feedback on this function. We hope it helps you work better with families! ❤️
