Linking and unlinking controls for a vendor

Learn how to link and unlink controls for a vendor

Updated this week

Roles and permissions

The following roles can link controls to vendors:

  • Anyone with manager or contributor permissions for the vendor except limited access users.

  • Limited access users can't link controls to vendors.

You can link or unlink controls from vendors at any time. To link controls to a vendor:

Linking controls to a vendor

  1. From the left menu, select Vendors.

  5. Click Add.

    The Link controls window opens.

  6. Use the filters to find the control or controls to link to the vendor.

    Note: Hyperproof only displays those controls where you are a member.

    Tip: Multiple selections within the same filter limit results to objects that meet either selection. For example, selecting both Person A and Person B in the By assignee filter shows only objects assigned to either Person A or Person B.

    Selections across filters limit the results to objects that meet both filters. For example, selecting Person A from the By assignee filter and Issue from the By type filter only shows objects that are issues assigned to Person A.
    ​

    Additional example: In the By assignee filter, both Person A and Person B are selected. In the By type filter, both Issue and Task are selected. Hyperproof creates a list of objects that are assigned to either Person A or Person B, and a separate list of objects that are either issues or tasks. It shows the objects that are in both lists.
    ​

  7. Choose the control or controls to link by selecting one or more checkboxes.

    Note: You can't link vendors to the individual scopes on a control, only to the control containing those scopes.

  8. Click Link selected controls.

    The controls are linked to the vendor.

Unlinking controls from a vendor
