What’s new in release 4.12: removing friction from publishing and research workflows for subject matter experts

Our teams have been hard at work focusing on developing solutions for rule-makers and rule-takers. Our latest release, 4.12 for rule-takers focused on enabling subject matter experts and professionals to improve publishing processes, navigate the latest updates to standards and guidance and deliver more modern, dynamic navigation experiences.

Effortless discovery: explore our research portal experience

Often, company policy, access to the latest updates to laws, regulations, and standards, may be buried in outdated or fragmented systems. Today’s users are accustomed to the experiences provided by tech giants like Apple and Google. That includes features such as:
  • Dynamic search
  • Seamless navigation
  • Access to related material

For audit and compliance teams, seamless access to guidance is essential to driving engagement with approved materials. At times, frustration with these systems may drive users to search engines like Google in order to find what they need, perhaps even to competitor websites. As user experience expectations continue to evolve, our goal is simple: connect teams with trusted information at the moment of need.

Navigate with precision: enhanced Table of Contents

Laws, standards, and guidance documents can be necessarily lengthy. However, they shouldn’t be necessarily difficult to use. Subject matter experts and professionals need to be able to navigate documents often with a degree of flexibility, for example, if editing a specific clause or requirement. 

We know, having listened to you, our customers, there are restrictions which makes the Table of Contents harder to read. We have removed this limitation by including folder navigation in the body of the content, making it easier to locate the files and documents you need.

Find what matters: improved keyword search

At the heart of modern research experiences is the ability to pinpoint relevant guidance at the right moment. This can be hampered by poor keyword search. This release saw the Propylon development team work to make it even easier to surface relevant laws, standards, and guidance at the moment of need.

We have included keyword highlighting to guide you to the relevant text in the content. We are also adding a smart solution to help guide you if you search keywords with typos. You will now get suggested correct search terms, based on what you entered.

Consistency is key: enabling the creation of Document Templates

Not only is consistency important, especially when creating documents consumed by all sorts of people, it is also key to effective, speedy document drafting. With this release, Propylon will create a way for your drafting teams to set up repeatable templates to use across your collections. This templating will simply make things easier to get started and stay consistent.
