08 June, 2024
We are excited to announce several new updates as part of this release:
- Two new dashboards are now available on the 9ine Platform: the Privacy Dashboard and the Vendor Dashboard.
- We have enhanced the RoPA column in the RoP log, allowing users to view processing activities by status.
- An Add Notes option has been added to the menu in both the RoPA and DPIA logs, enabling users to navigate directly to the respective form.
- A new Copy To All function has been introduced across all forms, simplifying data management when selecting the same personal data or special category data for multiple data subjects.
The launch of the privacy and vendor dashboards
- Users with access to the Privacy Platform or Vendor Management will be able to navigate to the Privacy and Vendor Dashboard feature via the left navigation menu.
- In the header, various options have been provided for enhanced usability.
-
Refresh Button: A Refresh icon is located at the top of the dashboard. Clicking it allows users to instantly update the data displayed. The Last Updated field, located beside the refresh button, shows the most recent date and time of updates in the format (DD/MON, HH). If no data is available (for new users or empty organisations), the refresh button is disabled to prevent confusion.
-
Date Range Picker: The Date Range Picker is set by default to display data from the last 30 days. Users can adjust this to view data from custom date ranges, providing flexibility in tracking items over specific periods and tailoring how dashboard cards are displayed.

-
Filter: The Filter function allows users to refine the data presented on the dashboard.

-
View: The View popup includes the details of all dashboard cards. By default, the order of the cards on the dashboard matches the order set in the View. If users attempt to deselect all options, an error message will appear, stating: Minimum of one selection is required. This View functionality operates similarly to other areas of the Platform, allowing users to customise which cards are displayed.
-
Sequence Options: In the left-hand corner of each dashboard card, users have the option to assign a unique sequence number (e.g., 1, 2, 3, etc.). Upon assigning these numbers, the cards on the dashboard will automatically rearrange themselves to reflect a user's specified sequence order. Any changes are automatically saved and retained on the next login. The changes applied to the sequence order of the dashboard cards and in the View popup are user and dashboard specific and are only applied to an individual's profile. The sequence order in the View popup does not update to reflect the sequence order added to the individual dashboard cards.
-
My Actions: By default, the My Actions toggle is set to On, meaning the dashboard will display items where the user is the owner, member, reviewer, and approver.
-
Clear Filters & Date Range Button: This functionality enables users to reset all applied filters and date selections at once. When filters or date ranges are applied, this button becomes active. A single click will revert the dashboard to its default view, removing any applied constraints for a comprehensive look at all privacy items or vendors.
-
Limited Data: Initially, users might encounter limited data or No records available messages on dashboard cards until data is entered on associated forms (Records of Processing Activity, Data Protection Impact Assessments, and Processing Operation Assessments).
