Release Notes: November 2022

A recent release to the Workiva Platform included improvements to the following products and features: 

ESG

Updates to ESG Explorer

From ESG Explorer, you can now view details about guidance issued by Task Force for Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) and Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Standards. This includes when the guidance was published and in-effect, and whether the issuer encourages early adoption.

Comments

Addition of bulk comment deletion

File owners can now bulk delete all comments in a file. You can also multi-select certain comments and bulk delete them.

 

Filing

Updates to form 144

In response to Edgar Release 22.3, we've updated Form 144 to file in the required XML format. Previously HTML was used.

 

Organization management

Updated user profiles

We've updated the My Profile screen so that the following fields can no longer be viewed or edited: Company, Department, Title, and Phone Number.

Additionally, when hovering over a user's profile, you'll only see the user's name, email, and image. 

 

Documents

Text changes are no longer tracked in document markup

In document markup, we previously tracked changes that were made to text boxes. This was not intended and has been resolved.

Restricting flow back of review comments

You now have the option to stop review comments from flowing back into a source document. This option can be selected when sending a file for review.

 

Chains

Import or export chains between workspaces

The chains in your workspace can now be exported to a .chain file and shared with users in another workspace, environment, or organization. These files contain the structure of the chain itself, but don't include any workspace-specific data or sensitive information.

As an alternative to chain templates, exporting is recommended when chains need to be transferred between workspaces with minimal changes.

Learn more about importing and exporting chains.

Updated Adaptive Insights connector to Workday Adaptive Planning

In light of a recent acquisition, we've changed the name and logo of the Adaptive Insights connector to Workday Adaptive Planning. This aligns the connector with the most current branding from Workday.

Iterable commands can no longer be placed in an iterable command group

We've updated how iterators are handled so that a single iterable command can no longer be placed in an iterable command group. This prevents overlapping iterations whereby a single command could be iterated twice: once on its own and again as part of the node.

OneCloud help has moved to the Workiva Support Center

The OneCloud support site at https://help.onecloud.io/ has been moved into the Workiva Support Center. Legacy documentation can still be accessed through the OneCloud section, but the articles themselves will receive no further updates. All future releases and revisions will be reflected in the Chains documentation only.

Note: These changes are currently available only to standalone OneCloud subscribers, but will be released to all Workiva users in the coming weeks.
