Newest Securities Mosaic Features
(July 10, 2008)
In a recent Press Box item, “KM Training: A
Two-Way Street,” we mentioned the important role our users play in shaping
the product we offer. We return to that topic here in greater detail,
spotlighting a number of recent improvements to the Securities Mosaic
platform. Many of these are the direct result of user feedback.
New and improved Document Cart
Our Document Cart, a new feature which debuted several months ago, has
already undergone its first significant upgrade. The Document Cart
allows users to compile up to 25 documents
in a single location, where they can be printed, batch-emailed, or saved
for later use. In response to comments from our customers, we have made
this feature accessible from the SEC Filings Search Results page. Now, a
filing document need not be opened in order to be added to the Cart; and,
one can add multiple documents to their Cart at once, by clicking the
checkbox next to the item.
Ability to search on Financial and Accounting sections within a filing
For years, the All SEC Filings page has allowed you the option to limit
your search to specific sections or exhibits within filings. We have now
expanded this function to include the Financial and Accounting sections
of filings (Auditor’s Opinion, Balance Sheet, Cash Flow, Change in
Accountant, Financial Statements, Income Statements, and Notes to
Financial Statements).
Personal Account Signup page
Many users of Securities Mosaic assume they don’t need a personal
account: they can already access the site through the IP authenticated
account of their organization, bypassing a login prompt and allowing them
to jump right into their work. However, many of the most useful tools
offered on Securities Mosaic—including the Document Cart, SEC Watchlist,
and Stored Searches feature—are designed to be customized and saved by an
individual user. As such, they require a corresponding username (and
password)—which is available at no extra charge for users who are part of
an organization-wide account. And getting a personal account is now
easier than ever: just go to our new and improved
Personal Account Administration page and submit the simple online
form.
And coming soon . . .
We are continuing to implement suggestions from our valued customers.
Currently, we’re at work on various enhancements across the Securities
Mosaic website, including important changes to the SEC Watchlist tool and
the Exhibits Search page. Keep your eyes open for those changes, and
please keep those good ideas coming.
