We're excited to introduce SimplerQMS App Version 1.24.0, bringing new enhancements to help life science teams improve traceability, gain better visibility into document changes, and work more efficiently across quality processes.
Key highlights:
More flexible document relationships
Increased visibility for document approvers
Workflow enhancements to support more accurate quality management
Resolved issues across Training, Change Control, permissions, and My Work
Improved platform reliability and day-to-day usability
Launch Schedule
App Version 1.24.0 is available to all SimplerQMS customers as of June 24, 2026.
New Features
Link Referenced Items to the Latest Effective Document Version
Managing document relationships is now more flexible and easier to maintain.
When linking related documents in Document Control and Change Control, you can now choose whether the relationship should point to:
A specific document version that remains unchanged
The latest effective version that automatically updates as newer versions become effective
How this supports your work
Reduce manual updates when newer document versions become effective
Maintain more accurate relationships between documents and Change Requests
Preserve audit readiness with clear historical references
Prevent Classified Access on Reserved Quality Record Types
To help maintain system integrity and avoid unintended access restrictions, SimplerQMS now prevents administrators from classifying reserved record types such as:
Templates
Change Requests Types
CAPA Types
These records are essential for system operation and should remain accessible to authorized users.
How this supports your work
Reduce the risk of accidentally restricting critical quality processes
Improve administrative consistency
Help ensure users can access the records required to perform their work
Automatic Document Updates After Check-In
When checking in documents through the SimplerQMS Add-In, SimplerQMS now automatically updates document information in the web application.
Previously, users sometimes needed to refresh the page to see updated document previews, details, or version information.
What's in it for you?
See document updates immediately after check-in
Reduce manual page refreshes
Improve confidence that the latest document information is displayed
Better Visibility of Change Summaries
Change Summaries are now easier to access throughout the document lifecycle.
Authors can continue updating the Change Summary until the document reaches the Approval stage, and approvers can now view Change Summaries directly within the document record. Change Summaries are also visible on effective and released document versions.
What's in it for you?
Help approvers understand document changes more quickly
Improve visibility into revision history
Support more informed reviews and approvals
Improve transparency for document users and trainees
Bug Fixes and Improvements
Improved Training Workflows
This release includes improvements to Training workflows to enhance performance and ensure more reliable training record generation.
Improvements include:
Fixed an issue where Training Rules containing a large number of linked requirements could fail to load or time out when opened.
Fixed a scenario where multiple active Training Rules using the same document and user did not generate all expected training records.
These updates help you open and manage complex Training Rules more reliably while improving the accuracy and visibility of generated training records.
Improved Change Control Workflows
This release includes improvements to Change Control to enhance status accuracy and ensure tasks are assigned correctly throughout the process.
Improvements include:
Fixed an issue where approved Change Requests could incorrectly display a Draft status on the working copy.
Fixed assignment behavior to ensure Effectiveness Check tasks are correctly assigned to users, including scenarios where ownership is managed through groups.
These updates improve status accuracy and help ensure assigned users receive the appropriate tasks and notifications.
Improved Settings and Permissions
We have introduced improvements to strengthen control over permissions and increase visibility into administrative changes across the system.
Improvements include:
Ensuring the Make Effective action is only available to authorized users through corrected role permissions
Adding audit trail tracking for updates made within Settings, including Organization settings, Users and groups, Document Types, Quality Event Types, Tags, and Ownership-related settings
These improvements strengthen process control while improving traceability and visibility of administrative changes.
Improved Home and My Work
We’ve made improvements to Home and My Work to ensure tasks are displayed accurately and handled more reliably across workflows.
Fixed an issue where completed approval tasks could remain visible in My Work and generate publish errors
Resolved a timezone-related issue affecting the displayed time on To-do items
These enhancements help ensure tasks are completed and removed correctly while improving accuracy when managing deadlines and activities.
Version 1.24.0 helps you maintain stronger control over document relationships, gain clearer visibility into document changes, and ensure more reliable quality workflows.
These updates reduce manual effort, improve traceability, and support more confident decision-making across your quality processes.
