What's New - CaseWare Working Papers 2020

Integration with AnalyticsAI

Working Papers now integrates engagement files with AnalyticsAI. Firms can improve their audit process by creating AnalyticsAI engagement files directly from Working Papers, uploading trial balance data, and incorporating reports based on specific tests back into Working Papers.

Integration with multiple Cloud sites

We’ve added support for integration with multiple Cloud sites. Users can now save the details of multiple sites and easily switch between them from the Options dialog. Note that for security reasons, login credentials are cleared when you switch sites.

Single sourcing Engagement Properties with Cloud

Cloud-integrated files now single source Engagement Properties, including contact information, from Cloud. When integrating a file with a Cloud entity, the Engagement Properties will automatically populate with the properties from Cloud. This ensures that the engagement files for each client are consistent and saves you the effort of filling out client information manually.

Bulk property changes to automatic documents

The properties of leadsheet/grouping, tax reconciliation, and trial balance documents can now be modified simultaneously if all documents share the same type and format.

General enhancements

CaseView

• Merged pages are now retained in the Print Preview dialog upon closing the preview. To unmerge pages, simply right-click the merged pages and select Remove this merge group, or close the CaseView document.
  
• Numbered list items that are separated by a bullet list or paragraphs now retain their numbering. Added the option to restart the numbering of a numbered list.
  
• Multiple document references can now be added simultaneously, similar to Working Papers. You no longer need to add references one at a time in a CaseView document.
  

Documents

• Added a Delivered Date property to automatic documents that allows you to track the date when a document deliverable has been sent to a client. A column has also been added to the Document Manager so you can easily view the delivered dates for all applicable documents.
  
• Template authors can now add placeholder documents to the Document Manager more efficiently using the Placeholder or New | Placeholder ribbon options.
  
  
  
• Custom adjustment types can now be included in the balance of user-defined automatic documents to allow for greater customizability.
  
  
  

Issues

• Issues with multiple issue types now list each type in the Issues pane, rather than stating “Multiple”.
  
• Issues with multiple issue types will now only roll forward or be retained on cleanup if all other assigned issue types share the same setting. If one of the multiple issue types is set to be cleared, that setting will take precedence when performing a year end close and clean up routine.
  

Licensing

• A new version of the Network License Server is available for use with Working Papers 2020. Organizations with network licenses must download and install the new version from MyCaseWare to ensure continued access.
  

Fixes

Working Papers

• Fixed an issue where disabling Allow creation of multiple synchronized copies in a Working Papers file would not prevent users from creating multiple sync copies.
• Fixed an issue where previewing issues in the Document Manager of a document with more than 86 issues would cause Working Papers to stop responding.
• Fixed an issue where using Select All in the internal recycle bin would cause Working Papers to stop responding.
• Fixed an issue that prevented the Freeze function from freezing column headers in certain automatic document types.
• Fixed an issue where recently accessed files would not display under the Recent tab of the Copy Components Wizard.
• Fixed an issue where members of multiple Active Directory groups would be removed from all groups if one group was unsynchronized.
  

CaseView

• Fixed various scaling issues when viewing CaseView on a 4k display.
• Fixed an issue where text could not be selected backwards when editing an input cell in Form Mode.
• Fixed an issue that duplicated the last page when viewing a print preview in Wide Table mode.

• Fixed an issue that caused Fit to Screen to fail when viewing multiple documents in print preview mode.
• Fixed an issue that caused a value to multiply by 100 when copied from a numeric cell and pasted into another.
