Overview: How do I create a new control?

A control in Impero helps to give control responsibles clear, step-by-step instructions. With design elements similar to a questionnaire, you can require control answers in a pre-defined format (e.g., Confirmed/Not confirmed) and demand necessary evidences. 


How do I create a new control?

1. Go to "Control Management" image-png-Jun-23-2022-09-05-39-29-AM.

2. Click on "Create new control" in the upper right corner, as demonstrated below. 

Alternatively, you can enter a control program and click the green "Add control"-button from there. 

3. Both options will redirect you to the control editor, which is divided into the sections Details, Assign, Schedule, Planning, Reminders and Tasks.

 

4. Provide your control with a name and a control description.

5. In case the control is not already connected to a program, do that in the field "Control Program".

6. Add tags if needed. Read more about tags here.

7. Go to the "Assign"-section and add a responsible user to  the control. You can also assign a reviewer and a 2nd reviewer

 

8. Set the recurrence, due date and other schedule details for the control.


 

9. Plan how many days or hours the control responsible and reviewer(s) have to perform the control and the review. Set the time for when the responsible should receive the control.

 

10. Set up reminders  

You can set up reminders for the responsible and the reviewers both before and after the due date. You can enter as many reminders as you wish. The reminders are sent to the user who has the control at that time.

 

Simply click in the field and click on the options you want to select. 

 

Note: The reminders will always go out to the person who currently holds the task of either performing the control or reviewing the control. So if the control responsible has already performed the task, the reminders will go out to the reviewer. And if the responsible hasn't done his/her part yet, the reviewer(s) will not get any reminders before the review is ready for them.


11. Go to the "Tasks"-section (Figure 4), and design your control using one or more tasks. Simply click on the tasks you want to add and edit the information. You can add different types of tasks for both the responsible, the reviewer and the second reviewer. Toggle between the roles in menu and add tasks for each role.
