What-If DARS Student Documentation Added
Documentation has been added to the site to illustrate how to use What-If audits. This feature is not yet active in the DARS, but will be made available to users soon, so the documentation is being released in advance.
The new documentation can be found on the Resources page or here:
Exceptions from Audit Documentation Added
Documentation has been added to the site to showcase the new Exceptions from the Audit feature that will be available to advisors following Monday’s DARS upgrade. With this new feature, exceptions are quicker to enter and more intuitive. Additionally, exception types have been upgraded – the RC exception has been replaced with the CP exception and the SC exception has been replaced with the CS exception, which is able to apply in multiple locations at once. All advisors are encouraged to familiarize themselves with the Exceptions from the Audit, as the existing exceptions portal channel will be phased out-of-use.
The new documentation can be found on the Resources page or here:
