General discussion

Caseware has posted a series of videos on youtube talking about Georgia Tech's experience with purchase card fraud.  It goes from finding out about the fraud, to looking at data analyitics to continous monitoring with Caseware monitor.  I have link the four videos to the site.

I had someone join recently and they posted spam, advertisements for payday loans, on the site.  I have removed the topics and deleted their account.  If you post spam on the site be ready for the posts to be deleted along with your account.  If you want to post items that are IDEA, data analytics related that is great but I have a 0 tolerance for spam.

Thanks

I thought I would start a discussion on what we would like to see in the next version of IDEA now that version 9 is out.  Please feel free to add to the list.

Two things for me is the Group Records option.  You create a group and once you click Grouping Off you have to recreate the group again, be nice to have a list of groups that you have already created so you don't have to recreate them each time.  Also be fun to be able to be able to save transactions in one or more groupings into another database.  Basically hooking this up with the Key Value Extraction.

You might have noticed that there is a new menu item on the main page.  As IDEA V9 is starting to roll out I have started to create a series of how to videos (more are in the works) on doing different types of analysis in IDEA.  I am also planning on creating videos on how to use the different scripts that are hosted on the site.  The videos are being shared with IDEA and I believe they may be put up on youtube eventually or on the IDEA site.  So if anyone has any ideas on training videos they would like to see let me know and I will try and add them.

Thanks

As V9 should be coming out soon, I thought I would start a thread where we can discuss our likes and dislikes of the new version of IDEA.

I have set-up the forum that each post can upload up to 5 images and 5 files (iss and excel files).  Let me know if you think there should be other types of files.

I have added a module for sending private messages.  You should see a link by the log out link for messages.  It is set-up that you will receive an email when someone sends you a private message.  If you don't want to receive any emails or don't want to be private messaged you can opt out by going to your account, selecting edit and you will have a section called Private Messages, there you can untick Enable private messages and Receive email notification for incoming private messages.

I added a new module last night to the site for code. So to add code to your post make sure you are using the text format Plain text and place your code between the and the code will be formatted. One thing I have found is that it does not reconginze tabs, so you will have to replace the tabs with spaces. The easiest way I have found to do this so far is paste your code in word, select the Find and Replace and in the Find What enter ^t and the replace with enter the number of spaces you want then paste the code to the forum.
