Response Management

Response360 users can access where users can upload, answer, and manage all RFPs, DDQs, and questionnaires received outside of the CENTRL platform. In this release, we will roll out the following features and enhancements:

  • When importing a questionnaire, we will automatically identify all relevant questions within the same questionnaire to improve the accuracy of generated answers. For example, if one question refers to another, we will track that automatically.

  • Users will have the ability to archive and re-open questionnaires.

Smart Response

For Response360 users, Smart Response will automatically search and utilize the Answer Library to find strong matches to populate the best answer. When Smart Response cannot find a strong match from the Answer Library, it will instead try to generate an answer from attached documents (policies, reports, RFPs) and previously completed s. In this release, we are rolling out the following key enhancements that will make the Smart Response feature even more powerful:

  • On top of populating the best match from the Answer Library if there is one, Smart Response will also show users other strong matches from the Answer Library

  • If there is no strong match from the Answer Library, Smart Response will still look for related content across the Answer Library to generate a suggested answer.

  • If users attached documents and/or previously completed s, Smart Response will also find relevant information from these sources to generate a suggested answer.

  • Users can see references for each suggested answer and apply the suggested answer to the question.

Respondents

  • We will shift from quick filter pills to a dropdown experience and make more quick filters available. This change will make it easier to see things like Not Answered questions while more effectively using screen real estate.

  • For s that come with pre-populated answers from the sender, when user makes any changes to the pre-populated answer, they used to see the “Revert to Prepopulate” button appear. The “Revert to Prepopulate” button has been replaced with “View Pre-Populated Answer” button. When user clicks the “View Pre-Populated Answer” button, they can click the pre-populated answer to apply it.
