Template Management Updates 📄

Feature Announcement! 📣

Greetings everyone! We have some updates to share about our template management functionality. Here's what's new:
  1. Contract Management: A new tab has been added that will consolidate features related to managing contracts such as BAAs.
  2. Account-Based Templates: Depending on your account type, the template library will display the relevant options. For Business Associate (BA) accounts, two templates are available (BA -> CE and BA -> Subcontractor). Covered Entity (CE) accounts will see a single template (CE -> BA).
  3. Standardized Naming: To ensure clarity, we have standardized the terms used for the sender and receiver of the contract. They are now referred to as Originator and Recipient, respectively.
  4. Sorting and Filtering Options: You now have the power to sort templates based on creation date, last updated, or alphabetical order. Additionally, filter templates by category.
  5. Filter by Recipient: To simplify template selection, you can filter templates by recipient, including Subcontractor, BA, or CE.
  6. Choose a Template Recipient: the template recipient can only be modified during the initial creation of the template. This ensures accuracy and consistency in your contract management.
  7. Informative Banner: A banner has been added to aid in distinguishing between BA, CE, and Subcontractor, providing instant clarity when selecting templates.
  8. Dynamic Fields Integration: Dynamic fields are now seamlessly integrated into the menubar and toolbar. By simply typing {{, you can trigger the dynamic field options, making it effortless to populate your templates with dynamic content.
  9. Template Creation: Admins now have the ability to create new templates from scratch, giving you greater control and customization options. Additionally, copying and pasting from Word or Google Docs supports formatting, ensuring a seamless transfer of content.
We believe these updates will greatly enhance your template management and streamline your document creation workflows. Give them a try, and please don't hesitate to share your feedback or reach out if you have any questions. Thank you for being a valued member of our platform! ✨

Create Custom Roles in Accountable

Hi everyone 👋

We have an exciting new feature to announce! With our latest update, you can now add custom roles to your organization's account. Here are some highlights of this new feature:
  • Custom Roles:  Add a custom role that is scoped down per account level, meaning multiple clients can use the same role name. Each account can create a role and modify permissions freely.
  • Default Roles: The permission level of the 5 default roles (Admin, PO, DPO, Employee, Subcontractor are not modifiable by the client. 
  • Customized Invite Email: When inviting a user with a custom role to the platform, the email is customized with the custom role information.
  • People Overview: The new role can be viewed on the people overview page for easy tracking and management.
  • Responsive Design: The role management page is now designed to be responsive on mobile and tablets.
  • Assigned to Dropdown: Custom roles can be included in assignee dropdowns. For example, for a custom "manager" role that should be able to be assigned a task, the role permission should include the "update" flag for the "tasks" feature.
  • Grouped Permissions: To simplify the role management settings, some features in the application have been grouped under a single feature name. For example, the "settings" permission level includes permission levels for "notifications", "company", "account", etc.
🎯 To add a custom role, navigate to Settings > Company > Roles.

We hope this new feature will make it even easier for you to manage your organization's roles and permissions.

As always, please let us know if you have any feedback or questions. Thank you for using our platform!

Thanks, 

Your Accountable Team
