What's New In The Release
Issues Management
Overview
- The Issues Management module allows you to create, manage, and resolve issues from Assessments and Audits. From the Assessment module, Vendor Connect users can create issues from answered questions.
Statuses
- Issues contain four main statuses: Potential, Invalid, Open, and Resolved. Issues start out in a Potential status and move towards either an Open (Valid) or Invalid status. From an Open status, issues move towards a final state of Resolved.
External Q&A
- The issue owners for Client Connect and Vendor Connect can communicate with each other about the issue through Q&A. Modeling a Question and Answer format, messages can be nested within each other to have focused conversations on a question or clarifying assumption.
Management Updates
- Management Updates are used to update Partners on an Issue. When publishing a Management Update, users can mark the Issue as Complete to inform the client that the Issue needs to be reviewed.
