When automatic suggestion for internal consitency are not given (which is the case in 99%) a user should manually do the ticking. In FSS in DS version 6 the user first needs to click on the number, then on the reference and then on the tickmark. This is one click more than in version 5.
It would be better if a user could click on the number in the balance sheet and P&L and immediatly can click on the reference and makes the tickmark. And the tickmarking is done automaticaly when there is only one reference.

Recognize Note References in Parentheses in FSS IC Test
Some financial statements have notes references in parentheses next to each line item. The IC test in FSS does not recognize these note references because it is not in a note references column format, and does not provide suggestions. It would be great for DataSnipper to be able to recognize note references in this format in a Financial Statement so that the IC test can provide suggestions.

Password protection
V6
I have mentioned this to my account manager but we need to have some form of password protection on Version 6 FSS projects.
We audit firms which hit different criteria and need to lock down audit files. The FSS component being changed now will make it hard to control as its not longer associated to the workbook (which was in a locked audit file).
We wont be using v6 until something like this is enabled unfortunately.

Internal consistency check
Using the internal consistency (IC) check, it’s the same onerous clicking problem as the PY consistency tool. You have to click on the reference that matches and then you have to click on the blue or red IC. Again, it would be helpful if it just automatically added the blue PY as a default.

Edit Numbers within the FSS
Problem: Users often need to edit numbers within the FS once issues or errors are detected, currently that requires them to import and export the document which is time consuming.
Proposed Solution: Have the option to update the values directly within the FSS and mabye have it suggested based on the value within the calculator.

Select Ranges for PY checking
Often datasnipper does not recognize the right PY range in the current and prior year financial statement. The user should have the ability to select a range for each page in the prior year financial statement and current year financial statement which will be compared and ticked to each other. Optionally it would be cool if datasnipper would learn those ranges and tries to apply it to other pages as for large umbrella funds it would safe a lot of time.

Version compare - ignore headers/footers option
We often use version compare to look at drafts of financial statements, each draft usual has something in the header/footer to show when the draft was made so when looking at these in version compare theres a huge amount of flagged changes that we don't need to look at.
So if a range at the top/bottom could be set to be ignored or if we could enter specific text strings to ignore i.e. the draft message then that would make things much cleaner and the tool significantly more valuable

disclosure checklist
We need a way of referencing between a disclosure checklist and the relevant disclosure. Currently, we are relying on staff and manager review to catch whether a disclosure is made or needs to be made and it is relatively common for there to be mistakes.

Automatic "PY" in Internal consistency and prior year
We have just upgraded to the latest FSS version 6.0.11 and are experiencing that the functionality when manually checking off previous year (PY) and internal consistency (IC) has deteriorated. Now, when we first click on the amount, we have to choose whether it matches or not, and then select the amount in the financial statements. It was much better before when PY/IC was pre-filled as if it matched, and you manually had to choose if it didn't match. The new way takes much longer for us.
Similarly, in Internal Consistency, when we select an amount that matches, it does not…

Would it be possible to streamline “saving” changes to the original FSS file with the push of a button and eliminate the need to manually export and import the FSS project during each layer of review?

Financial Statement Suite: Version Compare for Numbers AND Text
It would be great if the version compare feature in FSS had the ability to compare text changes in addition to number changes.
It would improve the quality of life for the end-user as they would no longer need to exit FSS to see a text comparison of 2 documents.

FSS Calculator for documentation
Within the calculator in V6 FSS, I want to be able to use the calculator to sum up numbers and then apply a tickmark based on that summation, so that when I hand off to my reviewer, the workbook has tickmarks that are indicative of the due diligence performed by me, the preparer.
For example, in tables with amounts in columns A - E, where E contains the total, FSS may incorrectly identify a column C as a summation of A+B, and suggest incorrect TMs all the way down that column. I would want (1) to remove the suggestions from…
