I wanted to give you a quick summary of what’s new in this release. For a complete list of what’s new, download the 2.11 Release Notes PDF.

It tells you how to update your installation and the mechanics of getting 2.11Better, more complete Compliance Matrix Generation

VisibleThread for Docs 2.10 does a good job of generating a starter compliance matrix, and its one of the most heavily used features of the product. We received lots of great feedback about this feature from users, and have incorporated a lot of this into our new 2.11 release:
  • You now  get a full extract of all content, not just content with keywords,
  • The reference or section heading is extracted for PDF docs,
  • Lists of items are now fully output, so patterns like ‘The contractor will provide:’ followed by a list is handled and output into the matrix,
  • It is using a better Excel format more suitable for and specific to compliance matrices.
  • There is now a dedicated button to generate Compliance Matrices in the UI. Use this rather than the old approach of exporting to Excel.

Enhanced Discovery – Better Compliance & Gap analysis

In 2.10, we had a single word noun discovery view for docs and folders. That worked well for acronyms, and extracting single word concepts like ‘security’, but it wasn’t able to handle multi-word concepts (referred to as ‘noun phrases’) such as;

“Liquidated damages”,

“ISO 9000”,

“Archive Data Policy”.

In 2.11 we have completely re-designed VisibleThread Discovery. Now, VisibleThread will flag multi-word concepts automatically and group them into major themes or topics. This new capability has numerous business use cases, including:
  • Verify that proposals are non-aligned with solicitation language
  • Verify that your proposal is non-compliant and doesn’t cater for critical requirements from L&M
  • Verify that a brand reference is consistent across multiple documents
  • Quickly identify risky content that may trip you up at program delivery phase.
  • Quickly identify the major themes in any document
VT Docs 2.11 Version 2.11 has more new capability and a fully rewritten help file. For a complete list of what’s new download the 2.11 Release Notes PDF.
