View or Edit an Advanced Control

Depending on your authorization for a control, you can open a page to view its full details or to edit some details.

If you're authorized at any level to work with a control, you can open a view-only page that displays its details. Or, if you're the owner or editor of a control, you can also open an edit version of that page. In it, you can modify some configuration details, add comments, or revise perspective and worklist-recipient assignments.

Note: Even if you're authorized to work with a transaction control, you can open it for viewing or editing only if you're assigned all the delivered, user-defined, or imported business objects it uses. If you're not, a Missing Business Objects Access icon appears next to the control name. When you click on the name, a message identifies the objects you lack. An administrator must use a Business Object Security feature, available in the Risk Management Data Security work area, to assign you the missing objects. This restriction doesn't apply to access controls.

To open a control in view mode, click its name in the Controls page. To open a control in edit mode, do either of the following:

  • Open a control in view mode, then click Edit in the view page.

  • In the Controls page, click in the row for the control you want to edit, and select the Edit icon.

In each of these pages:

  • Expand the Security Assignment button, then select Control Security Assignment or Result Security Assignment. If you're an owner, you can then modify security assignments for the control or for the incidents it generates. Or you can view those assignments if you're an editor or viewer. Bear in mind, though:

    • Result security applies only to incident controls. The Result Security Assignment option is inactive if you're working with a data-set control.

    • A result-security edit applies only to incidents generated after the edit is made. Each incident generated before the edit continues to use the security configuration in force at the moment it was generated.

  • Click a Control Logic tab to display the filters that define the processing logic of the control. These are arranged in the order they're analyzed in. You can't edit these elements.

  • Click a Comments tab to display existing comments. When the page is in edit mode, you can add a comment.

  • Click a Definition tab to review a full record of the current control configuration. In this tab:

    • Review the name and description of the control or, in edit mode, modify them.

    • A Details panel displays the status and priority of the control. You can modify those values in the edit-mode page.

      In the view-mode page, you can view documents attached to the control. In the edit-mode page, you can both view and add attachments to the control.

      A transaction control that generates incidents may cite one or more user-defined objects. For such a control only, a check box appears. In the edit-mode page, select it to cause data-set controls to refresh the user-defined objects automatically each time, and immediately before, the incident control runs. This check box is labeled, "Before this control runs, also run the user-defined objects that supply it with data."

      This panel also displays information you can't edit, including the following: The control type and result type; dates the control was created, most recently run, and most recently updated; and the people who performed these operations.

    • Control and Result Perspective Assignments panels display perspective values currently assigned to the control itself and to incidents it generates. In edit mode, you can modify these as you would if you were deploying a control.

    • A Worklist Assignment panel identifies the person assigned to receive worklist notifications to investigate incidents generated by the control. Or it selects all eligible users. In edit mode, you can modify this selection as you would if you were deploying a control.

    • If descriptive flexfield segments have been defined for the Advanced Control object, these appear as fields in an Additional Information panel. You can view values selected for the control or, in the edit-mode page, modify them.

    • A Related Records panel displays Process, Risk, and Control object records related to the advanced control. (Incidents generated by the advanced control are associated with these records.) In the edit-mode page, you can add or remove object records as you would if you were deploying a control.

    Options involving incident results apply only to incident controls. So result-perspective-assignment, worklist-assignment, and related-record options are inactive if you're working with a data-set control.
