Access to the Countries Screen for non-System Administrator Users

To enhance accessibility to jurisdiction risk scoring within the system, access to the Countries screen has been extended to users without System Administrator permission.

Access to this screen can now be granted through a newly introduced permission (named View Countries), which is not assigned to any user by default.

Users with this new permission can only view jurisdiction risk scoring and export it in the form of a report.

Self-Service Portal Changes

A few changes were made to the Self-Service Portal feature.

1. A small change made from the client’s portal is that the basic details field “Is Holding Company” has been reworded to "Is the entity a holding company?".
2. One other small addition has been made to the self-service portal email for outgoing emails to end users from the system where in a CC/BCC recipient can now be added. A CC/BCC email address can be added by users with the System Administrator or Manage Self Service permission in the Manage Self Service menu.

3. New messages are displayed when attempting to delete Self Service Portal users from the system which specifies that pending requests associated with the deleted user will be cancelled and explains the impact on the audit trail.
4. And finally, the unlock code (which is received by clients when attempting to register and log in, from the client portal) has been shortened for improved usability.

Feature Update on Client Profile Report Export

Following the initial launch of this feature in version 8.16, further enhancement has been made to this functionality wherein new information is now included when exporting client reports. The Client Report (generated in PDF from an entity’s Overview screen) now also includes:

• The list of services associated with the entity
• The list of subsidiaries (in the case of parent entities)
• Screening details and results (the information displayed depends on which version of screening your environment is set up with, with the older version of screening (v1) is only limited to what is available on the main search screen)
• All Jurisdiction connections of the entity (as seen on the All Jurisdiction Connections screen)
• Risk assessments for clients using risk assessment per business unit , will now display the last risk assessment for every business unit (not just the last risk assessment carried out)

Minor Changes

Several minor updates have been made, including:

1. A clearer, more user-friendly error message now appears when adding an identification document to an existing individual's profile or creating a new individual if the document is already linked to another individual in the system's Recycle Bin.
2. The outgoing email functionality to add a CC/BCC (as described above for the Self Service portal) has also been extended to other generic email templates for emails emanating from the system.
3. A search field has been added to the Recycle Bin, allowing users to search for specific entities, custom fields, segments, and other deleted items.
4. The exported entity screening Monitor History report now includes the entity name being screened.
5. For clients with the older version of screening (v1), a note in the Search History section has been added, which clearly signifies the date from when an entity started being screened on the system.

6. When selecting an entity’s profile from the Warnings menu on the Home screen, users will now be redirected to the relevant screen where the missing information that triggered the warning can be addressed. Previously, clicking on an entity’s name redirected users to the entity’s Overview screen, displaying the full profile rather than the specific section where the warning could be actioned.
7. For Real Estate / Notary environments, the transaction name length has been increased to allow a transaction name longer than 100 characters, up to 255 characters.

Bug Fixes

• File Download Issue: Documents uploaded with special characters in their filenames were being downloaded as text files instead of retaining their original format (e.g., PDF). This issue has been resolved.
• Permission List Update: Clients using the latest version of screening (v2) were incorrectly seeing permissions related to the older version of screening (v1) in their list.
• Custom Field Descriptions: When adding multi-line descriptions to custom fields that are set to show in Self-Service Portal requests, formatting issues were causing the field to break on the end-user portal. This has been corrected.
• Legal Form Warning: When selecting N/A (No Structure Required) as the Legal Form for a company, the system was not clearing the warning related to missing shareholders and mandatory stakeholders. This has been fixed so that structure-related warnings are automatically dismissed when this option is selected.
• Checklist Usages Redirect: When clicking on the Usages section of a Checklist Item, users were incorrectly redirected to the Home screen. This has been corrected, and users can now properly access the Usages of each checklist item.

* This feature update does not apply to all clients. It depends on the screening provider chosen.
