Evidence Package Updates [v2.8.5]

  • Remove "empty" components from Evidence Package and Viewer. Empty components are mildly problematic. However, it is much more confusing to see empty components in the rendering. That said, empty components are mildly problematic in general. Users should review the "Tree View" to ensure that the taxonomy does not contain useless networks.
  • Update to password strength checks to make registration and password resets viable in non-roman alphabets, notably Japanese.

    • GAAPWatch—Research SEC filings. Slice, dice, filter, view and download.
    • EDGAR Dashboard—See the premier dashboard of recent EDGAR filings. Review and research any SEC filing—as soon as it is filed.
    • Settings—Self-service options to set your profile or reset your password
