Findings are created directly from Control Assessments by Control Assessors. During the Control Assessment, when a control has been deemed ineffective, the Control Assessor will Create a finding which supports the subsequent Treatment Plan
Note: Treatment Plan workflow is available in future releases
To create a Finding record, within the Control Assessment flyout card, go to the bottom and choose the Create a finding button.
You are then directed to the Create a new finding card, where you must complete the required fields: Title, Description, Treatment Plan, and Due Date.
