This update is intended to streamline your navigation in an efficient manner.</p><p>Second, we have updated the Policy Group Page (click on any Policy Group in the Policies Module to see this page). This update will support bulk updates with a “select all” option, increase editing functionality directly on each policy listed, and add a list view option in addition to the existing view.</p><p>Please take a moment to watch the video presentation, shown in the player below, which introduces and demonstrates each of these changes.
