Run Advanced Controls

You can run any selection of advanced controls for which you're authorized as an owner or editor. Depending on the result type selected for each control, you may generate incidents or compile data sets for user-defined objects.

To begin, select the controls you want to run on the Controls page. You may work with your complete list of controls, or set search parameters to filter it, then work with the filtered list. In either case, you can:

  • Select a continuous set of controls. Click the first, hold down the Shift key, and click the last.

  • Select a discontinuous set. Hold down the Ctrl key as you click controls.

Then, do either of the following:

  • Run the selected controls once, immediately. Select Actions, then Run.

  • Schedule the selected controls to run regularly. Select Actions, then Schedule. Enter values that set a name for the schedule, when it starts, how regularly controls are evaluated, and when (if at all) the schedule expires. Then click the Schedule button.

Consider synchronizing data before evaluating transaction controls, or synchronizing global users before evaluating access controls. If you evaluate controls manually, you can synchronize manually first. If you schedule control analysis, you can also create a coordinated schedule for synchronization. In either case, you synchronize data from the Advanced Controls Configurations page, or global users from the Global Users page, of the Setup and Administration work area.
