Vatix product updates - V26.13.0

This update brings controls to the Risk Register, and headers, footers and page layout to Documents.

Risk Register

Controls on risks

The new Controls library (Risk Register → Controls Library) holds the controls your organisation uses, each with an owner, a category and a status. 

After setting up your organisation's Controls, you can add these controls to a Risk in the Risk Register. You can add the same control to multiple risks.

When a Control's status is 'Proposed', its owner gets a control action in Actions → Risks, due on the control's due date. They describe what was done and submit it as evidence. The Control's status then updates to 'In place' on every risk it's on.

A clearer risk record

The top of every risk record now shows its owner, status, next review date and its inherent and residual scores. Below that, the details, controls and scoring each have their own tab.

For more information, see getting started with the Risk Register and how to create and update a Risk.

Documents

Headers and footers

You can now add a header and footer to your Documents, with your company logo, page numbers and the Document version. Headers and footers show in 'Pages' view: go to a Document's 'Settings' tab and set the 'View mode' to 'Pages'. Then hover over the top or bottom of a page and click the edit icon. You can also give the first page its own header and footer. Importing DOCX files imports the word document's headers and footers.

Page size, orientation and margins

In 'Pages' view, you can now choose a Document's page size, orientation and margins from its 'Settings' tab, with a live preview as you go. When you export the Document, the file uses the same layout and the same headers and footers, so it's ready to print.

Fonts and font sizes

You can now change the font and size of your text from two new menus in the editor's top toolbar. Choose Arial, Calibri or Times New Roman, in sizes from 8 to 72pt. Fonts and sizes in an imported Word file are kept too.

For more information, see how to create and edit Documents.

Across Vatix

• If you've changed a field in a record's 'Details' tab and switch to another tab before saving, Vatix now asks before discarding your changes, as it already does when you leave the page.
