Release Highlights

Sentieo Desktop App: We are very excited to release the Sentieo Desktop App. No more hunting for open Sentieo tabs! Users of the Desktop App will also notice significant speed improvements. Download the app here:

• Windows: https://download.sentieo.com/release_desktop/win/Sentieo-latest.exe
• Mac: https://download.sentieo.com/release_desktop/mac/Sentieo-latest.dmg

EDT – Table Explorer Integration: We added a shortcut to Table Explorer in the left EDT navigation menu so it is easily accessible from within a company page.

Desktop App

Our new desktop application provides a fully connected interface to Sentieo for those organizations unable to utilize browser-based software.

The financial services industry has a wide variety of compliance and regulatory requirements that can make deploying browser-based software impossible. To address this, Sentieo is now available as a desktop application. This is a complete Sentieo interface that will be deployed onto a user’s desktop and will enable a wider audience of companies to use Sentieo to drive investment and strategy insights.

• Watchlists on iPhone and iPad: It is now possible to add a ticker to an existing or new watchlist directly from our iPhone and iPad apps. 

Improvements

• Notebook synchronization: We have rebuilt from scratch the synchronization process of our Notebook; synchronization is now faster and can handle conflicts more effectively.

• Document synchronization improvements: 
  • Added detailed statistics of number of synced notes and documents and how much space each of them take.
  • Each viewed document in DocSearch remains stored in a local cache for speed. If you are running low on space, it is now possible to empty the cache of documents that are not earmarked for offline syncing.

Table Explorer

New

• Improved navigation: We’ve made Table Explorer easier to use with improved button placement and “mouse-over” highlights to explain the function of each button or menu.
• Row header context: Now Table Explorer rows will reflect the table of the document you opened. If you’re in the most recent quarter, the row headers will reflect that. Alternatively, you can right click on column headers to navigate to an “as of” row header arrangement.  Handles the cases where a company changes reporting over time.
• Improved Excel Download formatting:  “Download to Excel” significantly improved; it now carries the formatting of the original document.

Improvements

• Lots of back-end work to make sure Table Explorer delivers accurately and on time: Improved mapping of press releases to a 99% accuracy standard, and real time back-end monitors, so we know Table Explorer is ready when a document enters the system.  Critical for earnings season!

Don’t forget! Sentieo comes with live chat support on the upper right menu, next to Settings.
