This article describes the enhancements and changes to Mondial CRx which have been included in the 05-31-2022 release (deployed to customers on 06-07-2022).

List of Key Enhancements/Changes

Enterprise Setup

User Profiles and Security

A role-based user profile and security model has been implemented:
- Users can now be associated with pre-defined 'Roles' which are allocated application features.
- Users can also be associated with companies. As a consequence, a user will only be allowed access to data based on the companies that they have been associated with.
- Note: To avoid sudden loss of data visibility, users already established in existing Mondial customers applications will be defaulted to a role with all features available ("Group Application Administrator") and access to all companies in their portfolio.
- For a more detailed understanding of how this new feature can be implemented, please refer to this article. Please also reach out to our customer services team if you require implementation assistance.

Previously, a user needed access to the User-Management view in order to change or update their passwords. In line with the implementation of Role-Based Authorization, new functionality has been added to the Users page to allow the signed-in user to update or change their passwords. The process of updating passwords has been explained in this article.

Once a user is signed in to Mondial, their user login is now displayed on all pages at the top right-hand side of the page.

Accounting Adjustments

To simplify the Translation (CTA) process in Accounting adjustments, the existing FX Types have been modified to the following:


FX Type	Translation Method	Translation calculation
Average	Average Rate	(Current Period End rate + Prior Period End rate) /2
Period End	Period End Rate	Current Period End rate
Historical	Historical	Historical rate
Excluded	None	No calculation

Budgets:

A new user interface has been added to allow users to import budget data into a Mondial application.

A user can now create a budget and associate versions (iterations) within that budget.
Once created, data for this budget can be imported via a CSV (Excel) file.
Data can be subsequently exported, modified in excel and, via the import function:
- the current version is replaced
- imported to a new version within the current budget
- imported to a new budget and version.

For details on how to use this new functionality, please refer to this article.

Report Writer:

Column Layouts

An additional selection option has been included to enable the display of a dash (-) on reports where the column/row intersection returns a zero value. To enable this feature, check the Zero to Dash box on column details.

When copying a column, the last part of a column layout configuration did not get copied into the new column. This has been fixed.

Report Writer Row Formats

Previously, the delete option on the Edit Row Format screen did not present a warning before deleting a row. To prevent accidental deletion, a dialogue box has now been added which seeks confirmation before deletion is performed.

Report Writer output

In line with the new budget functionality described above, when running a report which includes budget data as part of the report specification, the budget selection field now requests both the budget and the version number.
Improvements have been made to the output to Excel feature to more closely resemble the output to screen and output to PDF:
- column headers and footers are now included
- formatting, where possible, is also replicated.
Improvements have been made to the naming convention used when downloading Row Formats as CSV. The downloaded CSV file now bears the name the Row Format associated with it.
