New and Enhanced Features on Compliance.ai: February – March
May 31, 2024
During February and March, we focused on integrating Compliance.ai with your organization’s internal compliance processes, made updates within our Team and Pro Editions to help you review regulatory content earlier, search and compare regulatory changes more efficiently and expanded permissioning for obligations and workflows. In addition we’ve expanded our API endpoints, greatly extending capabilities within our developer API solution.
We also continued enriching and expanding our regulatory coverage, including: regulatory updates for banking, corporate affairs, commerce, data protection, employment, finance, legislations, mortgage, real estate, regulations, securities, state governance, and taxation. Our expanding global coverage includes Australia, Costa Rica, Canada, Chile, China, Denmark, European Union, France, Georgia, Hungary, India, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Kenya, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Thailand, United Kingdom, and the United States.
Simplify access, by logging in to Compliance.ai straight from your company’s application portal
Compliance.ai solutions already provide a secure, easy to use login experience that supports both native and 3rd party Identity and Access Management (IAM) systems for user authentication (Single Sign On or SSO).
Users are able to use the “Corporate Login” link on the Compliance.ai login screen and login using their organization’s IAM SSO and organizational credentials (also known as SP initiated SSO). We’ve now added support for accessing Compliance.ai directly from your own company’s application portal (also known as IdP initiated SSO). To take advantage of this new capability, contact support@compliance.ai.
Simplify mapping your internal policies to regulations using our new Management Hub capabilities
We’ve added a new feature to our Management Hub, enabling administrators in organizations using our “Bring Your Own Content” (BYOC) capability to permission their own organization’s documents within the Compliance.ai platform. This supplements our existing Annotations, Obligations, Labels, and Workflow Management Hub functionality.
Accessing the Management Hub
The Management Hub allows you to group your organization’s information, including labels, annotations, obligations, workflows, and now “BYOC” documents into logical collections. Once you’ve organized these items, you can share the collections with specific individuals, and specify Edit / View permissions for the shared information. For example, you can create collections that are jurisdictional, line of business based, or topical and restrict access to the labels, annotations, obligations, workflows, and organization documents within these collections (View, Edit or both) to specific team members.
If you haven’t tried the Management Hub yet, the first step to leverage these capabilities is creating unique groups of labels, annotations, obligations, workflows or organization documents. If you only want to group one specific type of item, such as organization documents, don’t worry. Simply leave items you want to have available to all users in your organization in the default Public Folder and move other items into your new jurisdictional, line of business, or topical folders.
Management Hub: Adding Folders (Collections)
Once you’ve created your folders, you can share with the appropriate team and/or members, giving Edit or View permission.
Sharing Folders
Manage Organization Documents
Organizing your organization’s documents (using Compliance AI Bring Your Own Content) and sharing will ensure that different members of your organization have optimal access to this information. Those who need to access and review your organization’s documents can access documents using the View permission. Individuals who need to be able to edit key information such as publication date, author, or document type can View and Edit documents using the Edit permissions. If any of your documents should not be viewed by certain organization members, simply place the documents in a separate folder and make sure you do not provide View or Edit permission to those individuals.
Manage Organization Documents: Bulk Actions
Manage Organization Documents allows you to search for specific documents using all of the search attributes available in the solution. In addition, you can leverage the same bulk actions available in any search view, including adding documents to folders, emailing a link to the document, printing, adding a workflow to documents and adding labels.
Unique document viewing & editing experiences across your organization
View Permission
Edit Permission
How you allocate your organization’s documents across folders and how you choose to share folders will impact your members’ experience. As shown above, a member with Edit permission will be able to edit certain key document data, while a member with View permission will only be able to review the document. If you add sensitive documents, you can add the documents to a management hub folder shared with only a very limited group of members. Members without View or Edit permission will not be able to search for, view, or edit data related to “private” documents.
If your organization needs to maintain confidentiality across different parts of your enterprise with respect to documents you add using Bring Your Own Content, our new capabilities will help you ensure the right level of control.

New “Smart Import” simplifies your transition to Bring Your Own Content
In our latest “Bring Your Own Content” (BYOC) release, we’ve focused on streamlining the user initiated BYOC document import experience by introducing a smart import template. After you upload your documents for import into BYOC, you can download a custom template that enables you quickly map your documents to Compliance.ai drop-down options, including document types, agencies, jurisdictions, topics and concepts plus your own labels and alerts when adding data for your documents. Using the smart template speeds up the mapping while ensuring you enter acceptable values and avoid encountering unexpected errors.
How it works: The smart template includes easy to follow instructions for preparing your data. Picking from the document type, agency, jurisdiction, topic, concept, label and alert filters ensures you include only acceptable values in your spreadsheet. In addition, the smart template includes multiple data columns for attributes for which multiple values are acceptable including topics, concepts, labels, alerts and related documents, allowing you to enter multiple values without special formatting. Simply follow the instructions and enter the required data fields for your document, using smart filters to pick acceptable values and then upload your prepared data to complete the process. Remember that the File Name is the key to match the data to your uploaded documents, so it’s important not to edit that column in your spreadsheet.
Special Handling for Topics and Concepts: If you enter topic and concept data for documents either within your upload or by selecting values in the upload wizard, Compliance.ai will honor your selection(s). If you leave these fields blank, Compliance.ai will tag your documents with topics and concepts automatically.
BYOC Lite Smart Template
Comparing versions became easier: “Diffing” feature is now available for offline analysis
Hopefully you’ve all been able to leverage the ability to compare documents within the same docket, such as proposed rules and rules, compare different versions of the same document and choose two related documents and compare using the diffing feature. While the feature is great for online review, we’ve added a new Print option to allow those of you who like to review changes offline to work according to your preferences.
Simply access the Docket or Versions tab on the right panel where available or use the diff’ing icon to compare two related documents and click on the print icon to print the comparison view to PDF.

Tip of the Month: Need to maintain labels across document versions? Let our Label Service Connector do the work for you.
Labeling documents is an easy and convenient way to enrich documents with information you can share across your organization. For example, you might want to add controls, topics, or even project names to ensure that you and your colleagues can find the most critical documents for your research needs.
The only trouble is, labels are static while regulatory documents change. If you’re a Team Edition or Service Connector Edition user, you’re in luck. Our special labeling service connector automatically adds labels from prior versions of a regulatory document to newer versions as soon as they are available on the Compliance.ai platform!
If you are interested in having us implement this capability for your organization, reach out to us at support@compliance.ai and we’ll put our bot to work for you.
Label Version 1 …
… and let the Service Connector do the rest
