New features

The Risk Catalogue now contain two additional columns and corresponding filter facets which make it easier to distinguish the risks. They allow to filter them by its connected activity or the diagram, where the risk was imported from. This improvement is part of the standard-configuration of BIC Process Control. Customers who has an individual configuration of the table columns and filter facets of the Risk Catalogue keep their existing one. Some of them may already have this option in their individual configuration.

Most of the main views received an improvement in its loading behavior.

Version 4.2.0

New features

BIC Process Control received a redesign focusing on how the application is shown on mobile devices.

As part of this redesign, the tables views inside catalogues got their own kind of visualization for mobile devices. Instead of showing a table, the view shows its entries similar to the already known task lists.

“MyBIC” and “Profile” views were also slightly redesigned in general.

In task lists like Search or My Tasks it is now easier to distinguish between completed and active tasks.

If a task is delegated in one of the task lists, the task will directly show the newly assigned owner of the task.

Version 4.1.0

New features

Imported controls from BIC Process Design now offer a similar deep-link to its diagram, like it is already available for risks. Like the existing “Link to Risk Context” for risks, the control details now have a property “Link to Control Context”. When you click on the link, you will navigate into the published diagram where the control comes from and the control will be selected.

Whenever a process is started automatically (Risk Assessment, Test of Completeness, Test of Design, Test of Effectiveness, Performance of Control) based on its corresponding “Next date of…” property, in addition to the updated risk / control in BIC Process Control, the risk / control will be updated in BIC Process Design as well.

The Action Management Catalogue can now be filtered by the Corrective Action property.

Administrators can now execute bulk operations inside the search view. They can do a bulk task delegation or a bulk process cancellation based on all tasks that match the the search term and the selected filter criteria. Especially the bulk task delegation will be very handy when user changes their roles in the company or must be replaced for other reasons. Bulk operations will only affect active tasks.

For archived versions of risks and controls, BIC Process Control now manages a retention period. Inside the Archive section administrators can define the retention period for risks and controls separately. Whenever a risk or control gets updated, the former “active” version will now count as archived and will be updated with the currently defined “Retention period” and based on this a calculated “Retention date”. The details view of each archived version contains a new section “Archive” that shows both new properties.

The new UI-design, introduced in version 4, received some further improvements.
  • The Audit trail is now updated

  • And we improved in general how users and user groups are visualized.

Version 4.0.0

New features

With this major release, BIC Process Control (BPC) received an overall redesign. This new style of the UI will be applied to BIC Process Design and BIC Process Execution in the future as well. One of the main goals of the redesign was to provide more space for the content in the center area by keeping a good and easy access to the main views of BPC. This goal was achieved by reducing the sidebar on the left side.

The second goal was to simplify the way how users navigate inside the application when it comes to hierarchical navigation, for example navigating from the Risk Details view back to the Risk Catalogue. From now on, the breadcrumb will be the only available way to do this kind of hierarchical up-navigation.

In order to provide a better access to the risks and controls inside the Risk Catalogue and Control Catalogue, they can now be filtered by name and last change date. The Action Management Catalogue can now filtered based on the Corrective action of its entries.

To improve in general the handling of multi-selection facets, BIC Process Control now supports two types of visualization:
  • Simple multi-selection facet (the already known visualization)

  • Quick-filter multi-selection facet (new)

In difference to the simple multi-selection facet, the quick-filter variant is intended to manage a long list of facet values. In order to achieve that, the facet contains of two components:

  • An input field, that allows to quick-filter the list of facet values

  • A rectangle with a fixed height that contains a scrollable list of the facet values.

The Quick-filter visualization will automatically used to show a multi-selection facet, if it contains more than 15 facet-values.

The views Search and Running processes now offer an export option, providing additional information about the shown tasks. In addition to the basic task information, the export shows information about the process to which the task belongs. It also tells if the process is executed in the context of a specific risk or control.

Similar to the already known simple Export option available for the Risk Catalogue and Control Catalogue, the Action Management Catalogue now offers an export option as well.

The daily e-mail notification now only contain entries for still active tasks. In the past users may received a notice about new tasks which were finished on the same day. In order to further reduce the amount of individual e-mail notifications send by the system, an individual notfication for a task delegation is only send if the delegated task has reached its due date or is already overdue.

The following bugs have been fixed in this release

  • [BCW-8797] Creation of IKS-Matrix export runs into a timeout in case of huge data

  • [BCW-8773] Wrong entry inside the task owner filter facet leads to red error toast when selected

Version 3.24.0

New features

We did a rebrand of the product. In order to bring BIC GRC closer to BIC Process Design, it is now called BIC Process Control.

Now it is possible to register a control within the context menu of a risk directly inside the Risk Catalogue. In this way, the associated risk is preselected.

Users will now benefit from an improved view of the controls for a given risk. When clicking on the Show controls entry in the context menu of a risk, the user will now navigate into a prefiltered Control Catalogue. This allow to use all the benefits of the Control Catalogue view (e.g. Dashboard view, filter the controls, using the export option).

The Excel export for risks and controls now supports the date cell format for date based columns, which allows to use the build in date filter of Excel. The same goes for the Risk Control Matrix.

When a control is set to obsolete in BIC Process Control, for example through the “Test of Design” process, then the BIC Process Design Connector will now set this control in BIC Process Design to obsolete too.

The manage escalation task inside the Action Management process now allow to extend the time for implement the action or to extend the time for review the action.

Administrators can now trigger a synchronization between BIC Process Control and BIC Process Design. Usually this it not necessary, but in some cases this option may become handy. This option is only available when the BIC Process Design Connector is active. Once the synchronization is triggered, the system will update the risks/controls based on the diagrams stored in the stage “publication” of the connected BIC Process Design tenant.

New features

Through the Search, users can now easily identify if a given task has been finished or canceled, based on the introduction of the new filtering state “Canceled”. A task gets the “Canceled” state when the corresponding process is canceled by the system or by the Administrator user.

We have introduced a new improved way how the system manages the uploaded files.

The mandatory Next Date Of… fields inside the different forms are now turned into optional if the interval selected by the user for that particular process type is either “On demand” or “Occasionally”.

From now on, if the same task is delegated multiple times to different users, it will be shown in the Delegated tasks views of all the users that executed the delegation of that task until it gets finished or canceled. As long as it is shown in the Delegated tasks view, the user can track the state of the task.

Redesign and improvement of the following views:

  • When a user tries to open a task that is already canceled, he/she will visualize a message informing that the task has been canceled

  • The number of available catalogue entries is now shown in a consistent way inside the breadcrumbs
