    Smart assessments in Compliance Case Management
    Utilize the Smart Assessment Engine to assess if your employees are compliant with the necessary regulations. The compliance case administrator configures the questionnaire, and when an action task moves from the Draft to the Assigned state, the assessment is sent. After the assessment, the compliance case manager examines the nature of the non-compliance and its impact on the organization. Based on the findings, appropriate remediation measures are identified and implemented to resolution. To use the smart assessment, a new property called enable_smart_assessments (sn_grc_case_mgmt.enable_smart_assessments) is introduced with the default value as true.
    Unified Task-driven UI experience
    As a business user, use the Tasks page on the Employee Center for a consolidated view of all your tasks, enabling you to access and complete them efficiently. This page provides an easy way to manage all your assessments in one place, enabling you to view and perform tasks seamlessly.

    The Configurable Workspace supports reflow, which enables pages and content to be zoomed up to 400% through your browser settings without loss of content or functionality. Additionally, content can be enlarged without scrolling in two dimensions at a width equivalent to 320 CSS pixels or a height equivalent to 256 CSS pixels. Page layouts are transformed into a vertical, stacked view automatically when users increase browser zoom to 400%.

Reflow can be turned off with a system property for instances, experiences, and pages. See Reflow for Configurable Workspace for details.
