Report-Only View Definition Wizard.By simplifying the options and reducing what and how data can be accessed, the Report Only View Definition Wizard is suitable for use by a wider range of users than the business process owners and system administrators for whom the full View Definition Wizard is designed. Sensitive data can be protected while still providing extensive custom reporting flexibility to power users. In addition to being restricted to only creating reports, as opposed to edit forms and reports, this simplified View Definition Wizard can be further restricted to limit from which tables users can create reports. This Wizard can be accessed on the Process Navigator at:

Notification Templates have been implemented in the Compliance Management application.
Recurring Scheduling. A re-usable interface for defining recurring schedules for tasks or events is now supported. The interface includes similar scheduling features to those that Microsoft Outlook supports for recurring meetings. The Compliance Management and Environmental Health & Safety applications make use of this feature.
Improved Interface. Within Web Central, the embedded ArcGIS Online views that use JavaScript have an improved user interface as compared to the original V20.1 product, including an enhanced “hybrid” layer, consistent sizing within panels, and a better zoom-to-marker behavior.
New Map Layers. Add in Managers will find they can use additional basemaps for their GIS views, such as “Light Gray Canvas,” “National Geographic,” and “Oceans,” plus additional specialty maps such as “USA Social Vulnerability Index” and “USA Population by Sex.”
Geolocation Features. A new tool enables add-in managers to create views that allow users to select latitude and longitude locations directly from Web Central without a geocoding step. This enables more precise positioning of geocoded assets as well as placement of assets that do not have specific street addresses, such as storage locations that are outside of buildings. For an example, see the following Process Navigator task:
The Smart Client now supports Windows-Integrated Authentication. If your Web Central Server is configured for Windows-style authentication, a new "Use Windows authentication" checkbox appears as an option on the Sign In form. The Smart Client Web Services will negotiate with the SSO server as to which built-in Windows authentication protocol (Kerberos or NTLM) to use. The Smart Client will use the network credentials of the current Windows user.
