We’re pleased to share the latest product enhancements that we’ve produced so far this quarter. First of all, the highly anticipated dark mode has arrived on mobile. We’ll walk you through how to set it up on your phone below. In addition to mobile updates, we’re also excited to announce changes in analytics and financial reporting that have been made to improve the overall user experience.
Mobile App
Dark Mode has Arrived
Dark mode is now available on the Global Shares mobile app. Many tech users have been opting for dark mode on their computers or mobile screens because it can provide a more comfortable, less stimulating, visual experience. The Global Shares dark mode feature allows mobile users to adjust the app to low-light environments while providing better viewing options and reducing battery consumption.
For anyone using the latest version of the Global Shares Mobile app, and whose device is already set to dark mode, the app will automatically open in dark mode. For those either not on the latest version of the app, or who have not made dark mode their device’s default, they can avail of the feature by navigating to the ‘Account Preferences’ section, tapping ‘Appearance’ and then selecting ‘Light, Dark, or System’. The System option uses the selected mode from your mobile device.
Reporting & Analytics
Introducing the Newly Enhanced Vesting & Deferral Dashboard
External EquityAdmin users, such as clients or resellers, with access to the Reporting & Analytics area can now use the new Vesting & Deferrals dashboard. This dashboard provides a comprehensive overview of vesting and deferral information. As with all of our new and enhanced dashboards, it allows end-users to engage with near real-time data.
Its improved performance means the dashboard loads and processes data more efficiently, resulting in quicker response times and a smoother user experience.
The dashboard’s highlights include:
- A calendar widget to track upcoming vesting or deferrals events
- A detailed breakdown of vestings by grant types
- Insight into upcoming vesting without deferrals and deferred assets
Financial Reporting
New Tranche Level Expense Report
For Financial Reporting (FR) users, who require expense calculations at a tranche level, our Tranche Level Expense Detail Report is available in our corporate application. The report gives tranche-level details like the tranche vest end dates, the number of awards vesting, etc. This report will only be available for the front-loaded accounting method.
Download Financial Reports with Ease
Admin users can now download FR reports more efficiently using the new streaming download feature; this means data can be streamed instead of waiting for the entire report to be generated in the corporate application. It is currently available for the following reports: Expense Detail, Restricted Stock (RS), and Options Detail Disclosure.
