Financial Statement Area (FSA)

  • The FSA can now be populated based on the current year budget, the prior year budget, or custom balances by selecting the applicable option from the Planning drop-down in the FSA worksheet.

General Options

  • Added an option to AO - General options to retain completion responses during a year-end close and roll forward.
  • Added 20 additional profile fields to AO - General options, for a total of 40 profiles. To customize how many profile fields are visible, select the applicable option from the Number of profiles drop-down.

Procedures

  • A warning message now displays when attempting to switch a common procedure to regular procedure, stating that the action will result in the deletion of the common procedure from all other documents where it exists.

Risk

The most severe risks display in bright red, the 2nd and 3rd levels display in scarlet, the 4th and 5th levels display in magenta, the 6th and 7th levels display in violet, and the least severe risks display in gray.
