Creating an Impact Assessment
To create an impact assessment:
-
Click Alerts in the navigation bar to go to the Alerts page.
-
Select an alert to review its details.
-
Move the status of the alert to Applicable.
-
A pop-up will appear prompting you to create an impact assessment.
-
Once the impact assessment is created, the Impact Assessment tab will be available for further review.
Important Considerations
-
If the alert is in the Excluded state, you cannot create an impact assessment. You must first move the alert to another workflow status.
-
If the alert is unread, a recommendation will appear suggesting you move the alert to In Process before creating an impact assessment. You can:
-
Click Ignore and Create to bypass the recommendation and proceed with creating the impact assessment.
-
Click Move and Create to move the alert to In Process and then create the impact assessment.
-
Applying Filters
The Filters panel in the Impact Assessments section helps users refine search results and quickly locate relevant impact assessments.
Accessing Filters
-
Navigate to the Impact Assessments page.
-
Click the Filters button on the right side of the screen.
-
The filter panel expands, displaying multiple filtering options.
Available Filters
Users can apply the following filters to refine search results:
-
Impact Level – Narrow results based on assigned impact level (e.g., Potential Impact, No Impact).
-
Owner – Locate assessments assigned to a specific owner/group.
-
Status – Filter assessments by workflow status (e.g., New, In Process, Closed).
-
Search – Use keywords, impact assessment ID, alert title to find relevant impact assessments.
-
Document Status – Filter by the status of associated documents (e.g., Introduced, Rule).
-
Start Date – Define a date range for when an assessment started.
-
End Date – Filter assessments by their completion date.
-
Created Date – Search based on when an assessment was created.
-
Sort Order – Arrange assessments in ascending or descending order by created date.
This feature works independently of applied filters, meaning you can refine alerts using filters while also organizing them in a specific order to suit your needs. Sorting helps you quickly identify the most relevant or recent alerts, ensuring efficient navigation and decision-making.
