Our flagship feature for this release is our new inbound email capability. Clients can ‘copy CoreStream’ on email exchanges that are then automatically filed against the item they relate to in CoreStream. This is particularly exciting for the clients who use us for case management or workflows that require input from external users such as regulators, auditors and suppliers. This feature can also be used to create new items, broadening the ways in which we can support the creation of content for areas such as freedom of information and subject access requests. This is one we are really excited to talk to clients about.

One of the key reasons clients adopt CoreStream is our intuitive interface, an aspect we constantly strive to improve. Our 2.8 release includes new features and changes aimed at reducing clicks and data input time. While the outputs of our Platform often grab headlines, it’s the inputs that ensure accurate, up-to-date information.

The new feature we are expecting to have the largest impact is our consolidated hierarchy fields. We can now represent any number of levels in a single, searchable field meaning that we can consolidate the number of fields in our forms for things like organisational hierarchies, risk register structures and multi-level categorisations.

In addition to this, we have made improvements to our dual column mode in forms, added the ability to trigger actions from icons in our grid views, enabled charts to be drilled down into at the point of expanding them, and improved the clarity of our notifications when we have background workflows running.

It is important to recognise that these improvements are not all based on CoreStream observations alone. Our client and partner feedback continues to be pivotal to ensuring we prioritise the right features by truly understanding how our end users interact with CoreStream. Thank you to all of you who continue to provide this valuable input.
