Release Notes

Teams is our latest update built to help you drive collaboration during projects and improve the quality of your outcomes at every stage.

‍

How it works:

‍

• Teams can be found in your profile settings under ‘Users & Teams’
• The section now contains 2 tabs—Users for individual users within your organization and Teams for any group of users you’d like to club together.
• Select the Teams tab to manage the teams you set up for your organization.
• Click on Create Team to add users to a new team

‍

‍

Once your team is set up, you can include it in your regular activities like:

‍

• Assign tasks to a team instead of looking for each user individually.
• Share projects directly with any team you prefer.
• Notify teams about any task pending with them.
• Tag teams in chats, annotations, and more.

Project ID display

‍

A new column for Project ID has been added to the project listing screen next to the project name column.

‍

• You can easily copy the Project ID for quick reference.
• The project listing screen now allows you to hide or display individual columns. The column for the project name will always be visible.

Identify text styling during import 

‍

Import rulebooks to ComplyAI with all of your styling and case specifications intact!

New metadata field type

‍

You can now create custom metadata fields with a Date data type for both projects and tasks.

Use the date picker to select any date for your projects and tasks.

‍

Enhancements

‍

New Dashboard metric: Project by status

‍

Admins and Project Managers now have a clear overview of project status with counts for overdue, ongoing, paused, and projects that haven’t started yet.

‍

Admins can view data for all projects, while Project Managers can view data only for the projects they created.

‍

Bugs and improvements

‍

Clear archiving warning: The warning message for archiving projects now explicitly states that projects cannot be unarchived.

‍

Terminology updates: "Active files" and "Reference files" have been renamed to "Files for review" and "Supporting documents" respectively across the platform.

Now, review words or phrases in your artwork files with advanced rules that look for everything from font styling to letter casing and more!

‍

‍

Styling check: You can choose to look for styling within any Word or phrase rule. Any mismatch will be highlighted with a Style error tag.

‍

Case check: You can check whether the case used in your Word or phrase rule matches the text on the artwork file. Any mismatch will be highlighted with a Case error tag.

‍

Ignore options: You can choose to ignore case and/or styling at a rule level. This allows flexibility when these aspects aren't critical

‍

Font and size check: You can specify font types and sizes for individual phrases. ComplyAI will flag mismatches with a font tag/size tag error

‍

Docx and Artwork Flow Doc import: You can preserve text styling when importing from Docx or Artwork Flow Doc files.

‍

One-click rule editing: You can now edit previously written rules with a single click.

Improved Dashboard experience

‍

Do more with your Dashboard with an enhanced experience as you browse the tasks that need attention.
‍

• Search tasks for attention by name for easier identification.
• The assignee column in this section now only shows users with whom the task is pending.
• You can also filter these tasks based on task metadata. 

Introducing overprint control

‍

Check your files for instances of overprinting during the review process. 

‍

• The overprint mode will be turned on by default during every review.
• To view print colors individually in your artwork within the Color viewer, you will need to keep overprint mode on.
• Overprint mode will also remain on by default within Compare mode. 

‍

‍

Create rulebooks with a single click 

‍

Import any document or Excel file to create rulebooks instantly! 

‍

We’ve included a template within ComplyAI to help you import your files in the right format and get reviewing right away.

‍

‍

Link Artwork Flow Docs with your projects

‍

You can now upload Artwork Flow Docs directly to upload tasks in your projects. You can also compare files with a chosen Artwork Flow Doc during your review.

‍

Now, you can transfer files directly from your ongoing projects to the library without having to wait till the project is completed! The all-new Update Task allows you to update project files to a designated file in the library directly from your workflow.

‍

Upon completion:

‍

• The file will be updated as a new version of the chosen library file.
• An audit log entry is displayed for each updated file along with the original library file.
• The project creator will receive an email notification about the update.

‍

Now, you can also set up rules that run only if certain conditions are met, which means less work for you and more accuracy in your results!

‍

So, how does this work? Let’s take a look!

‍

‍

• You can choose between ‘Words or phrases’, ‘Logo’, or ‘Image’ checks for the first rule.
• You can choose between ‘Words or phrases’, ‘Logo’, ‘Image’, or ‘Font’ checks for your second rule.
• The second rule will only run on the artwork if the first rule is passed. 
• Detailed results for both rules will be displayed if the first rule passes on the artwork.

‍

Say hello to Artwork Flow Docs — a solution that will help you keep your copy, product information, and other details consistent throughout the project lifecycle. 

‍

Here’s how you can use Docs for your operations:

‍

• Build spec sheets, creative briefs, copy docs, and more.
• Include tables, lists, and images to enrich your data.
• Format text efficiently to make every doc easy to consume.
• Add text and image rules for automated compliance on ComplyAI from any doc.

‍

‍

Pause projects at any time

‍

Admins and Project Managers can now pause ongoing projects, putting them on hold.

‍

When a project is paused:

‍

• Your project status changes from "In Progress" to "On Hold."
• The status for tasks in progress changes to "On Hold".
• Users can't edit assignees, due dates, or checklists. Files within the project, however, can still be edited. 
• Overdue notifications for paused project tasks are disabled.
• Paused tasks won't be displayed on the task listing page and dashboard.
• Paused projects and tasks are shown as a blue timeline in Gantt charts.
• File status reflects the corresponding task's "On Hold" status.

‍

When a project is resumed:

‍

• The status of the project changes from "On Hold" to "In Progress".
• The status of tasks on hold changes to "In Progress".
• Any tasks in progress will be displayed again on the task listing page and the dashboard.

‍

Run ComplyAI on multiple files

‍

Check all your files for compliance in one go! Now, you can select multiple files or folders and run any rulebook of your choice on them. 

‍

• ComplyAI will run your checks in the background while you go about other tasks.
• You will be notified once these checks are complete and ready to review.

‍

Edit assignees while projects are in progress

‍

If you’re an Admin or a Project Manager on Artwork Flow, you now have the option to:

‍

• Add or remove assignees from tasks at any stage (not started, in progress, completed).
• Modify assignee settings for Review or To-do tasks.
• Select multiple tasks and update assignees for these tasks in one go.

‍

Note: 

• Removing an assignee will now result in their progress being lost.

• Automatic assignee settings update (only for projects in progress): If the number of assignees assigned to a task falls below the required number specified in your settings (For example, when your setting says "Any 3 can complete" but only 2 assignees have been added), the settings will automatically adjust to "All assignees should complete the task."

‍

Fixes

‍

Approved active files were not being moved to reference files when new files were uploaded in any workflow. This has now been fixed.

‍

Filter projects by task metadata

‍

You can now find projects from the list based on the latest metadata updated by the team in To-do tasks.

‍

Note: This is an account-level configuration that is activated on request, reach out to our support team if you’d like to activate this feature for your account.

‍

Enhanced security for critical actions 

‍

Users will now need to verify their identity with a password when performing critical actions like:

‍

• Approve or reject a file.
• Update a new version of an active file.
• Move an active file to reference files.
• Delete an active file.
• Update a new version of a reference file

‍

Note: This is an account-level configuration that is activated on request, reach out to our support team if you’d like to activate this feature for your account.

‍

Download reports in PDF format

‍

Users can now download project-level, system-level, and audit log reports as PDFs.

‍

Each downloaded PDF includes a footer with the name of the user who downloaded the report and the date and time details of the download.

‍

Note: This is an account-level configuration that is activated on request, reach out to our support team if you’d like to activate this feature for your account.

‍

Filter file annotations by status

‍

You can now filter annotations within a file based on their status (resolved/unresolved).

‍

• By default, only unresolved comments are visible on the asset and annotation sidebar.
• As soon as a comment is resolved, it will be hidden from the panel. 
• You can view resolved comments by choosing the "Resolved" filter on the panel.
• You cannot add new annotations while the “Resolved” filter is on.

‍View close matches in your results

‍

While running a ‘Words or phrases check’, you might find some words or phrases don’t show up as a positive match despite being similar to the text you entered while setting up the rule. 

‍

Now, you will find these words or phrases highlighted as positive ‘Close match’ results on the panel. 

‍

‍

Improved ‘None’ case results

‍

For rules where none of the words or images should be present on the artwork, the results for missing words or images will now be shown with a green-colored minus icon for accuracy.

‍

Smart rules for smarter proofing

‍

As we continue to improve ComplyAI, we remain focused on making the complex world of regulatory compliance that much easier to navigate. Our latest improvements are aimed at helping you get more accurate results through a more layered approach to rule-building.

‍

• Instead of Preferred and Restricted Keywords, we’re introducing a more flexible ‘Words or phrases check’.
• With this rule, you can now decide whether you’d like all, any, or none of the included words or phrases to be included in your artwork files.
• The same conditions can be applied to images and logos.
• When building any text or image-based rule, you can select the condition of your choice from the dropdown within the rule.

‍

‍

Once you run any of your rulebooks on an artwork, you will also be able to view detailed results by rule on the asset viewer.

Leave notes on tasks

‍

Communicate better with your team during projects with the option to add notes to every task!

‍

• Team members can only edit or delete notes that they’ve created.
• Notes can be filtered to view the most recent notes on any task.
• Your team will be prompted with the option to add a note before they complete any task.
• All notes added by your team will be visible in the audit logs after the task is completed.

‍

‍

Edit checklists while projects are in motion

‍

Artwork review projects always evolve to accommodate changing requirements. You may start with a clear set of objectives, but as the project moves along, your checklists might need to be updated to ensure reviews are carried out efficiently.

Now, admins and project creators can easily edit checklists even while your projects move through the workflow!

‍

Here’s what you can do:

‍

• Add new checklist groups or items.
• Rename, delete, check, and uncheck checklist groups or items.
• Mark optional checklist items as mandatory (and vice versa).

‍

You also have the option to leave notes for your team in case you’d like to explain why you’re updating the checklist.

‍

‍

Users can get details on checklist updates through:

‍

• Emails 
• In-app notifications
• Audit logs
• Edit history

‍

Note: While editing the checklist, you can use "Save" and "Cancel" on the modal to manage the checking or unchecking of items. All other actions are saved automatically.

‍

Introducing an all-new interactive Dashboard

‍

You can now leverage a powerful new dashboard to gain deeper insights into how your team and your projects are moving!

‍

‍

Here’s what each user can do with the new dashboard:

‍

Admin: View insights for all projects within the account.

Project managers: View insights for projects they created, as well as projects they're a part of.

Team members: View insights for projects they’re a part of.

‍

The dashboard is primarily defined by three metrics:

‍

1. Tasks progress: A graphical representation of completed, overdue, and in-progress tasks assigned to you or the whole team, depending on your role.

‍

You can filter data to display tasks for the day, the last 7 days, or the last 30 days, depending on your needs.

‍

2. Tasks by status: Gives an overview of every task assigned since the account was created and its current status.

‍

3. Tasks for attention: Draws attention to those tasks that may be overdue or almost overdue. Admins and project creators can notify assignees and nudge them to complete the task and keep things moving!

‍

Compare tool enhancements

‍

Navigate current or reference files:

‍

You can now select either the current or the reference file within compare mode to zoom in or out, scroll, and rotate within the canvas.

‍

The option to navigate these files can be found in the screen’s bottom left corner.

‍

Combined navigation

‍

While you can navigate each artwork individually, you can even scan both files together as you review them.  Our latest option, Combine, allows you to zoom or scroll two files simultaneously. 

‍

‍

Download checklist actions

‍

You can now download a PDF report summarizing the actions taken on checklists by all assignees on a file. This report is accessible through the kebab menu of a file in the file status tab. 

‍

‍

The checklist actions report will include:

‍

• Project name
• Project due date
• Asset name
• Asset link
• Task name
• Task due date
• Assignee
• Checklist actions taken
• Review completion date
• Task completion date.
• Checklist groups and items.

‍

Note: The report reflects actions taken on the latest version of the file.

‍

Add comments through file status

‍

Admins, project creators, and other users who are part of the project (except external members) can now add comments and reply to threads on files through the file status tab within projects that are in progress.

‍

Enhanced Reporting with Time Stamps

‍

All reports now display dates with timestamps reflecting your account's specific time zone. This applies to:

‍

• Individual project reports
• Account-level project report
• File journey
• Account-level audit log

‍

The updated date and time format is MM-DD-YY HH:MM AM/PM (12-hour format).

‍

Complete projects manually

‍

Project creators and admins can now complete in-progress projects with a single click. The "Mark as completed" button can be found in the kebab menu next to the project name. 

‍

‍

Here's what happens when a project is marked completed:

‍

• The project status is changed to "Completed."
• The status of tasks in progress is changed to "Archived."
• Project files are migrated to the asset library.
• Users are notified by email, in-app notifications, and audit log entries.

Edit files while projects are in progress

‍

So, your project is already underway when one of your active files needs to be updated. We’re introducing an option to delete or edit any active files within your project, so your team has the flexibility it needs to navigate every project with greater efficiency.

‍

If you’re an admin or a project manager, here’s what you can do with active files in any project:

‍

• Delete an active file along with all its versions.
