Product Enhancements

1.1 Annual Statistical Report

We’ve updated the ATIP Annual Statistical Report to match new guidelines for 2025

submission, including:

• Updating all fields and labels to match the 2024 - 2025 form

• Ensuring all calculations and logic used to generate the form match the guidance associated with the 2024 - 2025 form

• Addressing any inaccuracies/bugs in Report generation

• Added a number of fields to the Statistical Report Raw Data extract

1.2 New Scanning Solution

ATIPXpress now integrates with an industry-standard scanning solution (Dynamsoft Web TWAIN). This tool allows you to scan documents directly into ATIPXpress at various locations in application including Document Management, Collaboration Portal, Correspondence, and on the Request.

You can scan single pages, or batch scan and index. The tool also provides options to manipulate the images for clarity (including color, grayscale, pixel selection, etc.) and corrections (including line straightening, rotation, cropping, etc.).

This is an add-on feature that requires additional licensing, provided to Canadian customers at no additional cost. Please reach out to Casepoint Customer Success for more information. See the ATIPXpress 11.11.0 Scanning Solution Manual on our Product Resource Center for more details.

1.3 Canadian French Translation for Correspondence Templates

We made improvements to language localization within Correspondence Templates, making it easier to quickly populate correspondence in both English and French.

Canadian French language localization is now supported for the insert field menu that appears when creating or editing a Correspondence Template, as shown below.

Administrators can configure the field label translations in Administration > System Administration > Fields Translations. Use the Look Up Entity menu to select Correspondence Templates. Then, configure the Correspondence Template field labels using the English Text and French Text fields.

Once the labels have been configured, users will see the English label or French label throughout the Correspondence Template based on their system language setting.

We’ve also updated date formatting to follow DD/MM/YYYY format when French is selected for a Correspondence Letter Template. Additionally, minor UI changes have been implemented to the Field Translations tool for improved usability.

The following Insert Field Groups and Insert Fields have been added to the Localization Look Up Data tool:

We’ve updated how Application Fees are processed and tracked to better match the ATIP case file process for application fees for Access request types.

1.6 Release Format Field Update

When closing a Request, you can now specify the Release Format. The field has been expanded to include checkboxes for each available format (Paper, Audio, Data set, Video, E-record, or Other). Once you select a format, you can specify the breakdown of what was released and what was reviewed. You can select multiple formats if needed, or leave the field blank if no records were released.
