In this TechTalk article, we talk about some small enhancements being released to your ComplyWith over the next week, update you on the new Corrective Actions module, and introduce some work we’re doing to identify opportunities to simplify and clarify the terminology we use to talk about legal compliance.
Small enhancements
In preparation for more significant enhancements to the Report Builder, we’ve been making some small changes, including:
New icons and clearer descriptions for report options
Simplifying and clarifying the infographic library and adding informative tool-tips to explain what different infographics communicate.
This year, most screens and reports in your ComplyWith tools will feature a special ’20 years of better legal compliance’ anniversary footer - see below.
We’ve also made some nice design tweaks to the law change emails to make them even easier to read, just in time for all the law changes happening on 1 April 2026.
Customers subscribing to ComplyWatch will also notice similar design changes to their Alert and Report emails.
New Corrective Actions module update
Sorry, dear reader, not such good news here. Having indicated in our December newsletter that we hoped to release the new Corrective Actions module by the end of January ’26, we are still not quite there yet.
Frustrating as these delays have been, building awesome new features sometimes takes much longer than we’d like. That said, we are tantalisingly close to releasing the new Corrective Actions and as soon as we have a definite date for this, we will let our customers know.
Simplifying and clarifying some of the terms we use – register for the webinar
As part of our never-ending quest to make legal compliance simpler and clearer for people, we’ve been looking at some of the terminology we use in our ComplyWith tools to identify opportunities for improvements.
Here are some examples of possible candidates for change:
- Compliance ‘survey’ - could be changed to compliance ‘evaluation’, which would align the name of this process better with the terminology used in standards like ISO standards and avoid some negative connotations associated with the word ‘survey’.
- ‘Obligations Register’ - could be changed to ‘Legal Requirements Register’ to clarify what is actually in the register.
- ‘Activity Mapping’ - could be changed to ‘Allocating legal requirements’.
We’d love to hear your suggestions for simplifying and clarifying the way we talk about legal compliance, or if you have feedback on those ideas outlined above.
We’re running a half-hour webinar at 11 am on Monday 20 April 2026 to share, discuss and gather feedback on possible terminology changes. Please join us.
Please also feel free to send us your suggestions, ideas and feedback for ways we can clarify and simplify the way we talk about legal compliance by emailing us at support@complywith.com
