Go to an engagement

1. Select the logo in the MindBridge sidebar.
   You will go to the Organizations page.
2. Select View in line with the desired organization, or click anywhere in the organization row.
   You will go to the Engagements page.
3. On the Engagements page, select View in line with the desired engagement, or click anywhere in the engagement row.
   If the engagement does not contain any analyses you will be prompted to create one, otherwise you will go to the engagement's Data page.

Create an analysis

The first analysis in an empty engagement

When an engagement is created, you can immediately create the first analysis (or set of analyses).

1. Ensure the box is checked next to the analysis type you want to create.
   If the engagement library is set up to use several analysis types, you can use the checkboxes to create multiple analyses simultaneously.
2. Enter a name for the analysis. If you do not enter a name, MindBridge will apply the default name as seen in the field.
3. Use the toggle to select whether you want to create a:
   • Full analysis: The data spans the full analysis period
   • Interim analysis: The data does not span the full analysis period
4. Use the calendar tools to change the:
   • Analysis period start date
   • Analysis period end date
   • *Interim as-at date, if you have opted to create an interim analysis
5. Set the currency that you want to see in the analysis.
6. When you are satisfied, select Create analysis.

Add a new analysis to the Data page

You can run multiple analyses within the same engagement. This is helpful in instances when subsidiaries or multiple general ledgers exist within a single engagement.

This means you can maintain a client's analyses over multiple years within a single engagement.

1. Open the Actions menu at the top of the Data page.
2. Select Create analysis.
   You will be taken to the Create analysis page.
3. Check the box next to the analysis type you want to create.
   You can check multiple boxes to create multiple analyses simultaneously.
4. Enter a name for the analysis. If you do not enter a name, MindBridge will apply the default name as seen in the field.
5. Use the toggle to select whether you want to create a:
   • Full analysis: The data spans the full analysis period
   • Interim analysis: The data does not span the full analysis period
6. Use the calendar tools to select the:
   • Analysis period start date
   • Analysis period end date
   • *Interim as-at date, if you have selected to create an interim analysis
7. Select the currency that should be reflected in the analysis.
8. When you are satisfied, select Create analysis.
   You will go back to the Data page where you can manage the analysis and add prior periods of data.
