Embedded below:

• We have replaced the underlying user interaction code in RiskKey.  This was a big update that changed nearly all parts of the application.  This was a backend change and our goal was that most users would not notice any changes (except increased responsiveness).  This change has been completed successfully throughout all RiskKey systems.
• 
  
• We’ve added new options to the Recommendations By Current Status report
• [FEATURE] When editing in the Assessments and Objectives screens, the text boxes will auto-grow as you add text.
• 
  
• [FEATURE] New e-mails are sent about upcoming recommendations.
• 
  
• You can now click the entire project selector bar and get the drop-down, instead of having to click just the down arrow icon.
• 
  
• The project selector will stay on the screen momentarily, instead of disappearing immediately.
• 
  
• [BUG FIX] Fixed display issues in IE7/8 with the assignments dashboard that would run off the edge of the screen.
• 
  
• [BUG FIX] Fixed cases where sometimes users that had been archived off would still show up in drop-down lists.
• 
  
• [BUG FIX] The accordion folders for documents can now all be opened at once.
• 
  
• [BUG FIX] Links to documents will now jump to the correct place.
• 
  

As always, if you have any issues, questions, or feedback, please feel free to contact us at: help.riskkey.com

One feature that many people requested was more control over the “Recommendations By Current Status” report.  This report shows a list of closed recommendations.  Over time on a Continuous Compliance project can get hundreds of recommendations that have been addressed and closed and it clutters the report.

You now have four options when running this report to see only the most recently closed recommendations:

With these options you can easily get just the latest recommendation information that is important to you.

Hi all, As many of you already know, earlier this year, we made the decision to separate RiskKey into its own company from Garland Group due to its success.  During this same time, we were also approached with an exciting partnership opportunity from Deluxe Corp. RiskKey is now an embedded service inside the Deluxe Regulatory Compliance Program.  We here at RiskKey are excited about making this partnership with Deluxe as they have proven themselves to us to be a innovative minded company that wants to tackle compliance in a new way.

The second big announcement is we have put together a great cross-section of our client base to start our first RiskKey Advisory Committee or what I like to call ‘The RAC’.  The RAC’s goal is to help guide and refine the client’s needs in the RiskKey community.  We are so thankful for these members and know they will do great in continuously improving RiskKey. If you’re interested in any information about the Deluxe partnership or becoming a part of the RAC, please comment below. Have a great day everyone!

Brad Garland, CEO

1. After last week’s e-mail outage, we’ve added a local e-mail buffer that will ensure even if our e-mail provider is down, the e-mails will wait and eventually go through instead of being lost.
2. Additionally, if there is trouble sending e-mails, you will no longer receive an error message.  Your messages will continue to work as normal.
3. If you get logged out from being idle for too long, you’ll get a friendlier message and are less likely to get an error page.
4. Accepted recommendations will now show as closed on the By Current Status report.
5. Overdue items will only show in the ‘late’ area of the By Current Status report.
6. Several UI tweaks and cleanup were done with many areas of the site.
7. [BUG FIX] URLs in some e-mails were broken.  These now work.
8. [BUG FIX] Creating new users was failing with a “not allowed” message in some cases.  This has been resolved.
9. [BUG FIX] The Archived projects link is now working again.  Sorry to those who could not reach it earlier!

In order to avoid confusion, we also did a pass over the entire application to ensure that all messages relating to support refer to:  http://help.riskkey.com or help@riskkey.com.  These are the definitive addresses to use for getting help and support with RiskKey.  We’ve hopefully eliminated any references to old addresses.  Those addresses will still work for the foreseeable future, but we highly recommend that you update your address books and bookmarks to ensure you always get immediate help!

We’re currently experiencing issues sending e-mail to our users. Sending messages and comments are currently erroring-out as a result. We’re very sorry for the problem and are working to resolve this issue as quickly as possible.

Whenever someone is assigned a Category, Document Request, or Recommendation, they will receive an e-mail notification about it.

Just as a reminder: These notifications e-mails are ‘bundled’ together and sent periodically throughout the day.  These bundled e-mails are not sent out instantly.  We’ve done it this way so that you can assign a person 20 recommendations at a time and their inbox won’t get filled with 20 notifications.

As always, feedback is greatly appreciated.  If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us at: http://help.riskkey.com
