Sentieo v3.4

This release focused on improving a large chunk of our core architecture to improve Sentieo’s overall speed and responsiveness. We’ve also released a couple heavily requested features. As always, don’t hesitate to utilize Live Support for any questions or suggestions for Sentieo. We would love to hear your feedback on these improvements, so please share your thoughts with us! You can view all previous release notes here.

Below are some of the highlights from this release:

Speed and Overall Responsiveness

For the last 3 months, our team has been hard at work rebuilding large parts of the Sentieo front-end architecture. Many of Sentieo’s core functions, including Document Search, will now be far more responsive and consume significantly less computer memory. Over the course of the next couple months we will continue to release further optimizations.

Export Tables from PDF – As part of our speed optimizations, we have shifted how tables are exported from PDF documents. If you wish to download a table from a PDF, please enable the PDF table download mode, which is located in the menu bar. Once activated, you may then export detected tables.

Mobile Earnings Calendar – We’ve introduced an earnings calendar in our latest Sentieo iPhone app release. The calendar includes information on all upcoming earnings call events. Users can also listen to the call recording if available.

Capital Events and Dividends – We’ve added a new section to our Equity Data Terminal that includes all the historical events that have impacted a company’s stock price. Capital events includes Splits and Reverse splits as well as right issues, stock dividends, spin-offs, size of lots changes, capital write-up and write-downs, stock exchanges, demergers, scrip issues and more. Dividends are presented on a separate page and also include special dividends.
