This Article explains the Issues & Actions (currently in Beta) that allow you to track, manage, and resolve issues more efficiently.

Updated this week

Overview

In this article, you will learn what is included in the beta version and how to use the functionality.

A. What's New?

1. New Issues Tab

You now have the ability to see, create, edit, update, and delete Issues and Actions in a dedicated space. There are two ways to access Issues. You can either click into the Issues tab within a specific Risk Assessment, or click into the Issues tab within the Risk Assessments frontpage for an overview of all Issues within your division.

2. New Creation Flows

You can report, track, and link both Issues and Actions in one centralized location. Each workflow guides you through the process step-by-step.

3. Richer Data Tables

You will be able to manage and review security gaps more easily with enhanced tables that provide better visibility into your issues and actions. You also have the possibility to tailor those charts to your needs with the "Edit" function.

The Issues workflow allows you to identify and report security gaps or findings. In order to create an Issue within your Risk Assessment, follow these steps:

Step 1: Click into the Issue Tab within your Risk Assessment.

Step 2: Click on Add Issue
