Workflow

Typically, a user is assigned a task to evaluate a control. The user reports any findings by creating an issue and assigning it to the right person who can remediate it. When the issue is remediated, the user then changes the evaluation’s status to Closed as it is now at an end state.

To link a task to an evaluation:

From the left menu, select Assessments.
Select your assessment.
Select the Evaluations tab.
Select the evaluation you want to link a task to.
In the right pane, scroll to Tasks, and then click the Task button.
The Task window opens.
Do any or all of the following:
- Enter a name for the task (required)
  Tip
  Task titles have a 250-character limit.
- Enter a description
  The following rich text formatting is supported: bulleted and numbered lists, headings, links, code, emojis, bold, italic, and strikethrough.
- Change any of the following by hovering over and clicking the Edit icon. Note that the task's status cannot be changed until the task is created.
  Assignee (by default, the task is assigned to the task creator)
  Note
  The task assignee sees the Submit status when the task is in progress. If the assignee reassigns the task to someone else, the status changes to In progress.
  Note
  Email notifications are not sent if the individual creating the task is also the assignee. If the assignee is different from the individual creating the task, the assignee receives an email notification indicating that they've been assigned a task.
  Due date (this is the number of days out that you want the task to be due)
  Priority
  Note
  Proof cannot be linked until the task is created. When proof is uploaded, it's linked to the task and is visible in the task's proof area. The proof remains linked to the task until the task is submitted and closed.
  When the task is closed, the proof can be found in the task's proof area, the linked object's Proof tab—e.g. the Proof tab of a control—, and in the organization's main proof list. This activity can be observed in the task's Activity Feed.
Click Create.
The task is created.
