We’re thrilled to share some fantastic new features and enhancements designed to make your workflow smoother, more secure, and boost overall efficiency. From streamlined checklist navigation to improved IRS compliance validations, we’ve got a lot to cover. Let’s dive into the details and see how these updates can benefit you!
Checklist Updates
We’re delighted to announce some remarkable updates designed to enhance your checklist experience, making it not only smoother but also more visually engaging. Say goodbye to the double navigation panel. We’ve removed the Wizard from HR Actions when added as a checklist item. This change eliminates the clutter and makes navigating your tasks more intuitive and efficient. We’re also giving your checklists a visual makeover. Our goal is to simplify the design, making it easier for you to focus on what’s important. The updated checklist panel is more user-friendly, helping you follow your tasks effortlessly and boost overall productivity. Check out the Ease of Use checklist refresh for additional info.

Secured Exports for Emailed Reports
Ever wished you could add password protection to more than just your PDF exports? Well, now you can! You will soon have the option to secure all non-PDF file export types, including Excel (XLS), CSV, TXT, XML, and more. Previously, password protection was only available for PDF exports, but with this update, you can safeguard all your exported files effortlessly. Each exported file will be contained in an AES-256 encrypted zip file, ensuring top-notch security. These files will be sent via email using the same reliable method currently used for emailed report files. Only users with the correct password will be able to access the zip file, providing an extra layer of protection for your sensitive data.
