• Create PSA tickets from assessment items
  • From the Assessment results page, you can now create a PSA ticket directly from an individual assessment item.
     
• Global Analytics - Segment Filter

  Deliverables have been significantly enhanced into a modern, web-based QBR presentation and reporting experience for your Lifecycle Manager X clients.
