Finding Lifecycle

The lifecycle page graphically represents the four states of an audit finding. Business rules control the flow of the request through the various lifecycle states.

From the action bar, click the lifecycle section.

Note: A dark rectangle indicates the current state of the finding in the business cycle, and the arrows show the normal flow of the lifecycle.

This page discusses:
