Release 3.55.0 and 3.56.0: Personal dashboard, collaboration improvements and guidances in VSME reporting

Personal dashboard (3.55)

• Interface is now more intuitive and clearly structured

• Direct access to key work areas from the dashboard

• New tasks can be created easily via “+ New Task”

• Admins can see all submitted tasks in this view

  • Even if they are not directly involved

  • Significantly improves management and monitoring
    
    

Integration of two additional statuses in Data collection (3.55)

• Previously available statuses: Open, In Progress and Done

  • Led to confusion in practice since working with multiple departments requires more differentiation, hence two more statuses added: 
    
    In Review 
    Closed

• Good to know about both:

  • Both statuses can only be set by admins

  • “In Review” reflects the formal check by ESG management after data entry by data point owners

  • After successful validation, admins set the data point to “Closed”

  • “Closed” freezes and finalizes the data collection

• Benefits:

  • Clearer process ownership

  • Reduced coordination effort

  • Operational efficiency gain for ESG managers

  • Improved readiness for audit and formal approval by external auditors

Customized disclosure requirements in VSME-Set (3.56)

• So far: Adding new datapoints is possible (in existing VSME disclosures)

• New: Add new disclosure (one layer above) enabling users to add own topics and underlaying datapoints

Bug fixing

• VSME: MDR and phase-ins were incorrectly included as filter options in the VSME standard; this has been resolved.

• Number of decimal places increased as required by many customers
