# ACP V9.17 Functional Release Highlights

## Extending AI-assisted processing, a modern workflow designer, and end-to-end document management

#### Executive Summary

ACP Suite 9.17 is a substantial release that advances the platform on three fronts at once. Document intelligence is extended so that institutions can define how information is extracted from their own document types. The workflow designer moves to a modern web experience. And document management is reworked end to end, from upload through preparation to signature.

The release also delivers a wide set of user experience improvements drawn directly from day-to-day use, including saved filters, automatic saving of notes, spreadsheet-style keyboard entry and clearer navigation.

Together these changes reduce manual handling at the points where credit teams spend most of their time, while extending traceability across workflows and legal documentation.

---

#### 1. AI-Assisted Document Intelligence

Institutions can now define how information is recognised and extracted from their own document types.

### Configurable Extraction Schemas

Administrators define document structures and field mapping, with confidence thresholds applied to extracted values before they are accepted.

**Key benefits**

- Automated capture tailored to the institution's own documents
- Reduced manual entry across high-volume document types
- Control over the confidence required before data is used
- A repeatable approach that scales across document categories

---

#### 2. A Faster, More Intuitive User Experience

A broad set of refinements targets the actions credit teams perform most often.

### Saved Filters and Preserved Context

Task list filters can be saved and reused, and users can return directly to the previous screen without losing their place.

**Key benefits**

- Less repetitive setup at the start of each session
- Working context maintained while navigating
- Faster access to the right population of work

### Protected and Accelerated Data Entry

Notes save automatically, and structured grids support spreadsheet-style keyboard navigation.

**Key benefits**

- No loss of written commentary when moving between screens
- Faster and more accurate entry in structured data grids
- Reduced reliance on repetitive mouse interaction

### Clearer On-Screen Guidance

Tab presentation, tooltips and summary views on hover have been improved and made configurable.

**Key benefits**

- More information available without opening a record
- Clearer meaning conveyed at the point of use
- Better support for quick decision-making

---

#### 3. A Modern, Web-Based Workflow Designer

Workflow design moves from a desktop application to a modern web experience, with richer operational tooling around it.

### Redesigned Workflow Designer

The designer has been rebuilt as a modern web application with a refreshed interface.

**Key benefits**

- Accessible without desktop installation
- A more current and intuitive design experience
- Easier onboarding for new workflow authors

### Richer Workflow Lifecycle Management

Lifecycle data can be filtered, copied and exported, and tasks can be completed directly from the task list.

**Key benefits**

- Faster location of specific workflow records
- Simple extraction of data for documentation and analysis
- Fewer screen changes to complete routine tasks

### Integrated Validation in Workflow Steps

Validation policies are configured directly within workflow step definitions.

**Key benefits**

- Simpler workflow structures with less duplication
- Clearer error handling presented to the user

---

#### 4. End-to-End Document Management

Document handling has been reworked across the full lifecycle, from attachment through preparation to register.

### Bulk Document Operations

Documents can be uploaded, downloaded and removed in bulk from both the attachment and preparation screens.

**Key benefits**

- Substantial time saving on document-heavy files
- Fewer repetitive individual actions
- Faster preparation of legal documentation

### Improved Discovery and Organisation

Search has been restored and extended, folder behaviour adapts to user role, and documents can be attached directly from the checklist.

**Key benefits**

- Faster retrieval of the right document
- Views tailored to how each role works
- Fewer steps between identifying and supplying a document

### Document Register and Generation Logging

Document metadata registration is simplified and generation activity is logged across processing nodes.

**Key benefits**

- Reduced configuration complexity
- Clear oversight of document generation activity

---

#### 5. Deeper Traceability Across Workflows and Legal Documents

Audit coverage now extends to areas previously outside the change record.

### Extended Change Tracking

Changes made to projects and collateral during workflow tasks are captured, and tracking now covers legal documents and bulk workflow scenarios.

**Key benefits**

- A complete audit trail across the credit process
- Evidence available to satisfy audit and compliance review
- Greater accountability for in-flight changes

---

#### 6. More Flexible Financial Analysis

Analysts regain familiar tools and gain finer classification of financial data.

### Custom Templates and Reporting Context

Custom spreadsheet templates can be uploaded again, and financial data can be classified by reporting context.

**Key benefits**

- Analysis performed using familiar, established templates
- Clearer distinction between reporting bases
- Support for a wider range of reporting needs

---

#### 7. Configuration Without Custom Code

More behaviour can now be configured directly rather than built as bespoke logic.

### Dynamic Field and Validation Configuration

Cell-level behaviour, input format validation and data-sourced selection lists are now configurable.

**Key benefits**

- Conditional behaviour delivered without workarounds
- Consistent input quality enforced at the point of entry
- Fewer errors introduced through manual configuration

---

#### 8. Modernised Platform and Data Foundations

The release strengthens performance and extends the data model to support growth.

### Performance and Framework Modernisation

The front end has been upgraded to a current framework version and batch accounting performance improved.

**Key benefits**

- A faster and smoother interface
- Reliable completion of time-critical batch processing

### Extended Data Model and Multilingual Support

New structured fields have been added and checklists can now be maintained in multiple languages.

**Key benefits**

- Business information stored natively rather than improvised
- Operations supported across multiple languages
- A cleaner foundation for reporting

---

#### Overall Business Impact

With ACP V9.17, institutions can:

- Automate information capture from their own document types
- Design and operate workflows through a modern web experience
- Handle documents in bulk across the full credit lifecycle
- Evidence changes across workflows, collateral and legal documentation
- Configure more behaviour without bespoke development
- Operate on a faster, more current technology foundation

---

#### Conclusion

ACP V9.17 is the most wide-ranging release in this cycle. It extends automation into document processing, modernises how workflows are designed and operated, and removes a significant amount of repetitive handling from document management.

For institutions, the combined effect is a shorter path from application to decision, with a fuller audit record behind it.
