What's New Feature Update - May 2022

Below are the new features in our latest software update for May.

Features in the May 2022 Edition

Rich Text Capabilities While Performing Assessments

Do you have certain parts of your question sets that you would like to accentuate for assessors while they are performing assessments? Would you like to call out a specific guidance/practice that you are performing a gap analysis for? Circadian Risk has added support for rich text capabilities, which allow for editing the assessment questions within your assessments. Most notably, there is now support for the following rich text functions:

  • Bold

  • Underline

  • Italics

  • Line breaks

Feel free to reach out and work with your Client Success Coordinator to work this formatting into your question sets at support-team@circadianrisk.com

Standard Guidance Excerpts

As professionals in our respective industry’s, we are aware there can be stringent standards and guidance that assessors and auditors need to follow and comply with when performing assessments and audits. Truth be told, the standard bodies can be a bit daunting, and to remember each and every standard section would prove to be a miracle in itself. Circadian Risk wanted to help assist assessors and auditors if they needed a bit of extra guidance on these specific standards that they need to verify, so we have introduced standard guidance excerpts while going through and performing assessments. As long as you set up your question set to include standard body text for each questions, you’ll be able to see helpful tips and language pertaining to the standards you are assessing!

Re-Opening Assessments

Circadian Risk typically keeps assessments locked after closing assessments to preserve the integrity of the data that was entered. However, sometimes accidents happen, or assessors notice a mistake that was made after closing an assessment. Accordingly, we have allowed for the ability for Organization Admins to re-open assessments for their organization. Now, if you need to make that small edit, or upload another photo for a piece of an assessment, assessors can do just that. Simply access the assessment details page of any closed assessment you need to re-open, and select the button in the top page header. If re-opening assessments, keep the following considerations in mind:

  • The history on who re-opened an assessment will be documented and tracked

  • Our process makes it so that "last write wins" when we close an Assessment… so if there are multiple assessments open, the latest updates of all the Active Answers get updated for that particular data/assessment set.

Additional Opportunities for Annotating & Accessing Photos/Files

In our April 2022 release of the What’s New Feature Update, we informed our clients that it is now easier to access files that have been uploaded during assessments, tasks, items by status, specific item detail pages, and the deficiency by question page. We have added the ability to annotate and draw on all photos, no matter where the are uploaded in the Circadian Risk system. So if you see a photo in the system that needs some additional descriptions or call-outs, feel free to click the thumbnail and annotate away!
