Finalize Fieldwork

Once an assessment has been launched, members of the Security Audit Fieldwork user group can then access it and either complete each of its requirements, or attach issues and corrective actions. Once the fieldwork has been finalized, it will then be sent to the Review workflow state to be closed by a member of the Security Assessment Team user group. If it was set to be recurring, it will be reassigned to the same auditor in the Fieldwork phase at the date set in its Expected Start Date field next year. GS: I couldn't find the framework workflow, but is this correct?

All assigned assessments appear on the My Tasks page. GS: The Fieldwork and Review form only appeared when I was a member of the Security Assessment Team user group. Using just the Security Audit Fieldwork user group gave me a read-only form. Is the user expected to belong to both user groups?An assigned assessment on the My Tasks page.

While the steps below explain how to close an assessment in one sitting, it is likely that most assessments will take several days to complete.

  2. Click an assessment in the Fieldwork workflow state to open the Fieldwork and Review page.The Fieldwork and Review form.

GS: I tried adding myself to a variety of user groups (the security assessment team, incident administrator, issue owner, and requirement owner (making sure I was assigned to the specific incident) and the Issues section would not populate. Is this a problem with the form, the org I'm using, or is there something I'm doing wrong?

      This section will only appear when the user has selected Yes With Conditions or No from the Meets Requirement dropdown list.
    4. Optional: Add comments, as needed.
