The first release of the year brings you enhancements that will make it even easier to use the Data Prep module.

We would also like to remind you that we are sunsetting a couple of old features, as announced in August.

Data Prep

Stronger audit control with downloadable process configurations

To provide you with the best auditability, you can now download the process configurations used to produce a particular snapshot. This will be available to all snapshots created after this release. 

Whether you are asked to demonstrate the transformation rules used in your business process as part of regular audit, or need to investigate what filter rules were enabled that caused some unexpected exceptions downstream, simply download it from the UI and share the details internally or with your auditors.

Usability improvements

Better navigation within a process

The menu items in a Data Prep process have been reorganised to make it easier to go between different screens. The horizontal menu now focuses on actions you can take on the particular screen you’re on, while all other menu items are now on the left hand side, collapsible vertical menu. This applies to both the main process screens and settings.

Avoid accidentally losing work-in-progress rules

We want to make sure all of the work you put into creating rules does not get lost by accident. So now the rule window will no longer close itself when you click outside of it. This applies to the Map and transform rules and Filter rules.

Automatic extracting of balance rows

When you choose MT940 or MT950 as your new data input format, the option to extract balance rows separately will now be enabled automatically, avoiding the scenarios where users forgot to enable and spent time troubleshooting.

Notice on feature removal

As we have mentioned previously, we are sunsetting some outdated features. We are planning to remove the following functionality within a couple of next months:

• Cases
• Reports
• API versions 1 & 2

We have decided to give our customers a bit more time to prepare for the change to Manual actions without Exception Workflow enabled. We will be sending further notifications before the change takes effect.

If you’re still using the features listed above, you can find out exactly what’s changing and how you can use Duco’s upgraded functionality to perform the same tasks more effectively in this Help Centre article. 

Additionally, you can check out our Duco Academy session that will give you an in-depth walkthrough of the changes. You can check this and other upcoming classes here.

Your Customer Success Manager will be happy to support you if you need help adopting the newer features.

Run details API change

With next month's release we will introduce changes to the response schema of the Run details API, version 3. 

We will be removing 3 fields: expired_a_count, expired_b_count and expired_count.

Please make sure to update any systems that may be dependent on these fields. This change will take effect in a month, in the next scheduled release.
