About SmartSuite
SmartSuite is rewiring its core primitives for ITSM, GRC, and structured service-desk work.
Two dense release waves in early and mid May target a clear set of buyers: service desks, governance/risk/compliance teams, and PMO operators. Forms got a major upgrade — multi-page flows, a review step, table-display linked records, and a new Internal mode for authenticated in-app submissions. Around it, SmartSuite added a first-class Team field through to automations, dynamic-value URLs, cross-Solution calendar roll-ups, Solution-level restore, and a manual stop on AI Field Agents.
