Format of the Enhanced Worksheet

The heart of the enhanced worksheet is a grid in which each row is the record of a user-role combination. This grid has no limit on the number of rows to which you have access; you simply scroll down to fetch rows that aren't on display. By default, the grid includes seven columns, although you can add more.

Above the grid, a heading gives the name of the certifier, a subheading provides the name of the certification, and a badge displays the current status of the worksheet. A search bar and "chips" enable you to filter and search for records.

The seven default columns include:

  • Role Name: The name of the role whose assignment to a user is being reviewed for certification.

  • User Name: The name of the user assigned that role.

    Note: Each entry in the User Name column is a link to a profile of the user in question. If the information is available, a profile includes the person's name and image, job title, phone number, and email address.

  • Direct Manager: The name of the person who manages the user identified in the User Name column.

  • Action: The certifier's recommendation for what's to be done about the user-role combination. Review indicates that no recommendation has yet been made. Investigate, Keep Role, or Remove Role indicates the certifier is looking into the user-role combination, has approved it for certification, or has determined that a security administrator should remove the role from its user.

  • Attachments: An icon indicates that files or URL links have been attached to the record of a user-role combination. If so, you can click the icon to gain access to the attachments or add to them. A blank cell indicates that the record has no attachments.

  • Comments: An icon indicates that comments have been added to the record of a user-role combination. If so, click the icon to review the comments or add to them. A blank cell indicates the record has no comments.

  • Follow-Up: An icon indicates that a request has been made to reconsider a certification decision or look into another issue concerning a user-role combination. A blank cell indicates that no follow-up activity has been requested.
