NEW FEATURES

• BULK UPDATES – mass updating of Barriers, Evaluations, Grievances, and Projects.
  The new Bulk Update feature lets users select multiple entries from the Grievance, Projects, Evaluations, or Barrier Findings tables to update statuses, assignments, and various data fields collectively. It streamlines mass updates of barrier statuses, recommendations, remediation dates, budgeting, and other crucial data points for transition planning. It also facilitates assigning batches of Evaluations, Grievances, or Projects and updating their workflows, thus accelerating the process without needing to access each entry individually. 

• GRIEVANCES+ PUBLIC SUBMISSION WEBFORMS – embed a self-service website form for submitting grievances, RA requests, and more
  This new feature automates Grievances+ intake and validation. The entity can self-host a web form on its public-facing website that allows constituents to submit a request. Based on the requester’s input, the system identifies the type of Grievance or RA, assigns the correct workflow step, and updates the activity accordingly. This enhancement supports multiple grievance intake forms with specific fields, accommodating diverse types like interpretive, video recording, and RA for testing.

• REQUESTER PROFILES – manage your requester’s needs and history all in one place.
  A hub for the requester/submitter of RAs or Grievances, this profile page keeps the requester’s and other contact’s information, all affiliated grievances, notes, and documents in one place.  The fields in the requester profile can be customized to meet the subscriber’s needs.
