Library settings: Analysis configuration

  • Updated

Summary

Analysis configuration allows you to enable and disable visible dashboards, reports, tools and settings, streamlining your team's workflows in MindBridge.

Learn how to configure MindBridge to create a standard experience tailored to your firm's methodologies.

Note: Analysis configuration is only possible within general ledger analyses. MindBridge's default libraries are read-only, but can be selected as a base when creating new libraries.

Configuration details

You must be an App Admin to view and manage analysis configuration in the library.


Go to analysis configuration in the library

  1. Open the MindBridge sidebar ( Sidebar_open-close_icon.svg ).
  2. Select Admin ( Admin_icon.svg ) near the bottom of the sidebar.
    You will go to the Admin settings.
  3. Go to the Libraries tab.
  4. Open the Actions menu in line with the library you want to view.
  5. Select View library.
    You will go to the Library details tab.
  6. Select the General ledger tab.
    You will go to the Analysis configuration section.


Disable or enable MindBridge features

Use the toggles to enable and disable each MindBridge feature, as desired. When you are satisfied with your changes to these features, Save your work. 

Select Discard changes to discard any unsaved changes.

Most MindBridge dashboards, reports, tools and settings are enabled upon creation of a new library, but the following features are disabled by default:

  1. Expanded transactions detail export to Excel (Tools and settings): Exports to Excel from the Data Table or the Audit Plan are formatted to allow for results of procedures to be documented in-line directly within the spreadsheet.
  2. Required materiality (Tools and settings): Make materiality a required input and block the ability to perform scoping if it has not been set.
Note: Any analysis using the library will immediately display updates made to the analysis configuration.
