Once the 'Start' button is clicked after confirmation on the refresh window, the progress date will be updated for all the items (i.e. Actions, KPIs, Projects, Risks, Risk Controls and Scorecards) which will already be visible on the dashboard.
The data will then be updated and showcased on cammsengage up to the edited date.
2. Choose Progress Comments or Executive Comments for display
Currently, the Action/ KPI/ Scorecard executive commentary is displayed to public users, while the progress commentary is displayed to users logged in. This enhancement allows you to display either executive or progress commentary to both types of audiences.
This feature will be available for the detail components of Action, KPI and Scorecards.

Once the specific components are added to the page design area, you will have the option to select the comment to be shown (progress comment or executive comment) to which type of user. (logged in or public)
This option will be placed in the edit menu of the detail components. (See Figure 3 below)

The following actions will take place once confirmation is made:
Going forward, any detail level component available within the template project, will be copied over to the projects which will be made visible automatically or manually.
This will not be applied to the projects which are made visible prior to selecting a template project.
If the check box is ticked on the validation message as depicted in Figure 6, all the KPIs and Risks which are in the project detail level will automatically be made visible.
This is only applicable for the KPIs and Risks which have been linked to the projects at the instance of making the project visible. Any KPI/Risk linked to the project in the future will not be automatically made visible.
In a case where the default project has no detail level components, a pop-up message will be displayed for confirmation. (See Figure 7 below)
