Release Notes Summary

DD360 / BNM360 / Vendor360 / Cyber360 / Assess360 / MSA360 clients

Assessment Module

This release brings several customer driven enhancements to the Assessment Module.

All Assessment Users
  • Assessment exports now show up to 250 dropdown options, an increase from the current limit of 50.
  • Users can now define assessment custom attributes when creating upcoming assessments. Values can be set for the entire plan and for each occurrence.
  • When generating the Assessment Report or selecting Download all Files users can select which columns will appear in the assessment file.
  • In Upcoming Assessments, users will be able to add Related Partners as a column on the main tables.
    • Please Note: This is only available for instances that have been configured to select "Related Partners" when publishing assessments.
  • There is a new permission in System Admin called Modify Due Dates to restrict which assessment owners and scheduled assessment owners can edit due dates. It is enabled by default because today all owners can edit due dates. 
  • The Question Bank tabs will be renamed to make it easier to distinguish between internal and external questions. Previously named ‘My Questions’ and ‘CENTRL Templates’, these tabs will now show as ‘Internal’ and ‘External’ Questions. 
  • We improved performance when filtering and deleting questionnaires on the Manage Questionnaire screen to help users more effectively use duplication, filtering, and deletion to build variations of a main questionnaire.
  • We fixed an issue with scrolling through assessments with large comments.

Partners Module

This release also includes improvements to the Partners Module. 

  • The partner and product files tables will support all filters, similar to the All Files table today.
  • Users will be able to see the id for products, partners, and legal entities. These columns will be hidden by default but can be added via the gear icon (table configuration). This year we refined bulk import to update based on id and this change makes it easier to see the id in the platform.
  • On the Partner table, users will now be able to show archived records. This release introduces a new Archived column that distinguishes archived from unarchived partners. 

Platform

  • Within the Report Builder Module, the Issues data source will now support the Description, Resolution, and Recommendation columns.
  • Tables will support Not Equals for dropdown values. This helps with multi-select dropdowns where previously we did not have a filter for users to specify all records that do not contain this value.
  • The user audit log will now export over email.

CentrlGPT | Response360

Response360 is the first-of-its-kind generative AI solution tailored for responders of Requests for Proposals (RFPs), Due Diligence Questionnaires (DDQs), and other questionnaires. Leveraging cutting-edge generative AI technology, Response360 automates questionnaire responses and continuously updates a centralized repository of your response content. This transformative approach reduces manual errors, boosting overall efficiency and reliability in the response process. 

Note: The Response360 solution is not available by default. If you are interested in this product, please get in touch with your account manager or support at support@oncentrl.com.

Response Management

Response360 users can access Response Management to upload and respond to RFPs, DDQs, and questionnaires received outside the CENTRL platform. In this release, we will roll out the following features and enhancements: 

  • The “Client Connect” side default name will show as “Response360”
    • Please note: any custom configurations will not be overwritten.
  • For questionnaires in progress, users will be able to assign questions individually and by section or subsection to other users.
  • Users will be able to export Word or Excel-based questionnaires (DOCX and XLSX) back to their original format.
  • The Compare Import feature offers a side-by-side view of the original questionnaire file and the digitized questionnaire, making it easier for users to verify if the questionnaire has been imported correctly. 
  • The list view of the questionnaire will show the status of each question, such as 'Not Answered,' instead of the actual answers. Users can click on any row to either answer the question or review their response.
  • Response Management will support various answer types, including Yes/No, Single Select, Multi Select, Table and Open Text. Earlier, we only supported Open Text. 
  • Through the Partner module, users will have direct access to questionnaires from Response Management, making it easy to review partner-specific questionnaires.
Smart Response

Response360 searches the Answer Library and attached documents to generate the best answer. In this release, we made additional improvements to the answer-generation process.

  • Since Response Management will support additional answer types in this release, Smart Response will generate answers for all of the available answer types (except Table). Earlier, we only generated Open Text answers.
  • We will generate a single suggested answer from all relevant sources including documents and relevant Answer Library records. Earlier, we generated a suggested answer from documents and a separate suggested answer from relevant Answer Library records (only when there are no strong matches from the Answer Library). 
  • We will populate the suggested answer automatically and highlight that it was AI-generated. Earlier, we asked users to review the suggested answer in a different window and choose if they want to apply the answer.
