Find all Sums

Cross-references / Find all sums New feature GA

​

Document matching with multiple document groups

Platform New feature GA

With Document Matching you can automatically match source documents (e.g. invoices, bank statements, contracts, delivery notes, etc) with Excel data. This feature enables you to prefill your tests of details. In version 2.1 Document Matching is improved with the possibility to match data to multiple document groups. For example, you can cross check Excel data with invoices and bank statements in one test. To achieve that you can segment the imported documents into invoices and bank statements with the 'Add Group'' button. Then you can assign the preferred columns to drop the snips and run the test.

​

What the video covers: Document matching with multiple document groups.

​

Search overview dropdown

​

One-click search

Platform New feature GA

With One-click search you check if a date or amount also appears on a different page or PDF. When you click on the date or amount in the PDF you see a list of all the matches.

​

Multiple snips to one cell

Snipping New feature GA

Now you can link two or more snips to one cell. This enables you to reference two different locations on a PDF or different PDFs to one cell. You can link another snip to a cell by pressing CTRL while making a snip. You can create multiple snips to one cell with the sum, text, validation, and exception snip.

​

What the video covers: Multiple snips to one cell.

​

Include PDFs enabled by default

Excel Workbook Improvement GA

In version 2.1 'Include PDFs' is enabled by default. With 'Include PDFs' enabled all imported files are embedded into the Excel file. This is practical when you share a DataSnipper with a colleague or upload it into audit management system. Because they cannot reach the original PDF file.
