Release Notes Summary
This release focuses on making Response360 more efficient for distributed teams by introducing powerful bulk assignment capabilities, formal approval workflows, and external access through a new Web Extension to your Answer Library
- Web Browser Extension: Users can access and search their Answer Library directly from third-party portals and web-based questionnaires without leaving their browser. This helps teams respond faster to due diligence requests, RFPs, and vendor questionnaires received through external platforms such as RFP portals. This extension will be published to the Chrome and Edge Extension Stores in the weeks after the release. We will add a notification in R360 when this is available.
- Bulk Question Assignments: Questionnaire owners and collaborators can assign or unassign multiple questions at once from a centralized management screen. Users can quickly select sections, subsections, or individual questions, apply assignments in bulk, and reduce the number of manual assignment actions and notification emails required to coordinate questionnaire responses.
- Group-Based Question Assignments: Users can assign questions and collaboration tasks to user groups in addition to individual users. Administrators can create and manage groups directly within the System Admin module, enabling questionnaire owners and collaborators to assign work to teams instead of managing assignments one user at a time. Group assignments are supported across Response360 workflows, including questionnaire collaboration, question assignments, and bulk assignment actions, helping organizations coordinate responses more efficiently across distributed teams.
- Approval Workflows for Questionnaires: Users can configure approval workflows in Response360 to support formal review and sign-off processes for RFPs and DDQs. Administrators can create multi-stage approval flows with customizable triggers, conditions, and approvers. Once submitted, questionnaires move through the workflow with approval tracking, restricted editing during review, audit history logging, and automated notifications and email alerts to approvers.
-
Improved Answer Review Checks: Previously our Answer Review checks sometimes rejected short answers as incomplete even when the question expected a short answer (e.g. Yes/No, Single Select). We revamped Answer Review to avoid rejecting valid, concise responses from being incorrectly rejected.
Research Assistant
Introducing CentrlX - Your Governed Agentic Platform
This release introduces CentrlX, CENTRL’s governed agentic AI platform, within Research Assistant. CentrlX represents a fundamental shift from one-off chats to purpose-built AI agents that work across your approved data sources, perform multi-step analysis, and generate rich, professional deliverables for asset management teams.
Rather than relying on prompt-by-prompt interactions, teams can now create, run, and govern reusable agent workflows that capture repeatable expertise and scale across the organization.
- Connect Approved Data Sources: Use pre-built connectors to approved internal and external data sources so agents can search, synthesize, and analyze information across the systems your teams already use. Supported integrations include sources such as Salesforce, the CENTRL Platform, approved web sources, SharePoint, Google Drive, Outlook, and Gmail.
- Use Curated AI Agents: Start quickly with a library of expert-built agents for common due diligence workflows. Curated agents can be used as templates and customized to reflect your organization’s terminology, processes, analysis methods, and preferred outputs.
- Create and Customize Agents: Build agents from scratch or adapt existing agents with detailed instructions, approved sources, analysis steps, calculations, and output formats. Agents help capture repeatable expertise as governed workflows that can be reused and shared across teams.
- Run Agents from Research Assistant: Users can switch into Agent Mode, select an available CentrlX agent, provide context, and launch a coordinated workflow directly from Research Assistant. After execution, users can review results, inspect supporting insights, and ask follow-up questions in the same experience
- Generate Professional Deliverables: CentrlX agents can transform research and analysis into polished work products, including documents, slide decks, spreadsheets, comparison tables, reports, and other review-ready deliverables.
- Run Deeper Analysis: New advanced analysis tooling enables agents to perform calculations, compare and transform data, and create structured tables, charts, and visualizations, helping teams move beyond summaries to decision-ready insights.
- Govern Access, Security, and Versioning: Admins can control who can create and manage agents, while agent owners can determine who can view or run each agent. Agents respect configured data-source permissions, and version history allows owners to review changes and revert when needed.
Note to Clients:
