The Action Items list displays all items assigned to the user that require action to be taken within the Governance Portal. Action items are created by assigning a user a task on the appropriate form or through workflow tasks. For some items such as action plans, assessments, indicators and findings, action items are created when the user is assigned to an owner role and a due date is selected on the form. Action items can be created for many user functions including completing an assessment, evaluating a control, measuring a KRI, completing a work paper, or reviewing a test.
Located in the left navigation pane, the Action Items list provides users with a single navigation screen for quick and easy access to their assigned tasks. A summary of the number of action items for each category and sub category (e.g. action plans - resolve) is available and provides an overview of what tasks are due, overdue or not due. By clicking the category/sub category, a list of associated action items is displayed in the content pane. Users can view the details of the action item (e.g. resolution information, notes, attributes etc.) through the Action Menu displayed beside each action item. These details are displayed in the details pane on the bottom of the screen. Once the review of information is complete, in line editing allows the user to quickly complete the requested action and update the action items status. Items that are marked as complete are removed from the action item list when the view is refreshed.
