KM Releases New Version of Securities Mosaic on Monday

In the past nine months, Knowledge Mosaic engineers have rewritten the entire code base of Securities Mosaic. You can reap the rewards of their prodigious efforts on Monday, when we release the newest version of Securities Mosaic. Change abounds.

Our goal was to dramatically improve the experience of our users by streamlining the website, enhancing text search, and adding new tools and capabilities to existing search pages. Here are the major changes you can expect to see when go to Securities Mosaic on Monday.

• A new login page. Away with the sallow, grey box that has been with us for every login since 2001!
  
  
• A new home page. We have reordered the tabs on the home page and in the website navigation bar to reflect a more natural and intuitive organization of our content. We have removed the Enforcement tab and created a new tab for SRO regulation. We have consolidated the Compliance Centers into a new section called In Focus and created a new section called Paper Trail that links to a recent document of interest.
  
  
• A new navigation bar. We have added a new universal SEC Release search box - available on every page - that lets you search for both regulatory and enforcement releases by release number. We have replaced Watchlist access with a link to our new Document Cart. However, you can still access your Watchlist via the Quickfind dropdown.
  
  
• More flexible text search. You can now do Boolean searches without using brackets (<>) around your operator. For example: dog and cat, dog or cat, dog near cat. However, you can still use brackets if you have grown to love them! For proximity searches on the All SEC Filings and SM Item Extractor pages, you can use "near/5", "w/5" or "/5" to define the word proximity range.
  
  
• Batch it with Document Cart. The Document Cart allows you to select up to 25 documents from throughout Securities Mosaic and add them to your "cart". Batch print or email at any time. The Document Cart requires a personal account. We can create one for you upon request.
  
  
• Streamlined statutory and regulatory materials. Simple collapsible "tree" pages now encapsulate SEC laws and regulations and PCAOB rules and standards. And where there once were 16 FINRA and NYSE search pages, now you will find only one, allowing you to search across the full range of these SRO materials.

So Monday launches a new chapter in the development of the Securities Mosaic website. As with any new release, we will surely need to address issues that arise only after we expose the site to the light of day. We will find out that there are unresolved bugs and learn that some of the changes we have made do not sit quite right with some of our users. Let us know. We will do our best to respond, repair, and adjust where necessary. Enjoy.
