CORE SYSTEM
NEW FEATURES

NEW FEATURE: VISDOM In App Translation
Reference #: 250624.1222.8548

Contract Insight Can now leverage VISDOM as a Service to translate the static text on the page in the Core System, the Vendor Client Gateway, and the External E-Sign Portal. The language can be changed for the session via the new Globe Icon in the Header. 

Language can also be changed permanently via the Regional Settings for the Employee or Company Contact.

To update inaccurate translations, users with access can navigate to the VISDOM Configuration page in the Core system (Application Menu -> Manage/Setup-> VISDOM Configuration). In the side menu, the last menu will have a Manage Translations option. 

Once on the Manage Translations page, a dropdown is available to choose from Core, Vendor Client Gateway, or E-Sign portal. After selecting, the page will show all translations for the user's Regional Settings/dropdown language for the selected site. Clicking the pencil icon allows the the admin to edit the translation. Ensure to click the checkbox to indicate overriding the translation with the updated text. 

Clicking on the override translation button opens a popup where it'll ask the user which language does it want the translation to be stored in. A language must have already been used in order to appear in the override translations dropdown.

Note
For out-of-the-box translation services: All translations are performed using machine-based translation services and are provided “as is.” Translated text may not be an exact translation or representative of natural written or spoken language. No warranty of any kind, either expressed or implied, is made as to the accuracy, reliability, or correctness of any translations. 

How will this affect users?
Users will be able to translate text into their desired language.

NEW FEATURE: VISDOM Assist Chatbot: Create Records
Reference #: 2506240.1222.4086

We have added the ability to initiate record creation using the VISDOM Assist Chatbot. To start, users can click the VISDOM Assist button on their screens and enter a phrase such as "Create Record" or "Create Contract" and VISDOM Assist will ask if you would like to start a new record or create from a file. Selecting New Record will allow the user to utilize the standard Add Screen for creating a new record within Contract Insight. Selecting the from file option allows them to utilize VISDOM+ or VISDOM Basic (depending on the license of their system) to create a new record.

Responses to the default VISDOM Basic Prompts have also been improved as part of this update.
