Roles and permissions
The following users can submit a risk evaluation:
Anyone with manager permissions for the evaluation.
When you have finished evaluating a risk and editing the fields selected for evaluation, you are ready to submit the changes for approval. Clicking the Submit button changes the evaluation status to Submitted, triggers the approval workflow, and creates an approval record for each approver. Approvers must be Hyperproof users who can log in to Hyperproof to complete their approvals. When approvals are created, Hyperproof sends a notification to each approver containing a link to their approval.
Note:
If you are submitting a proposed risk evaluation, a risk register must be selected, or you won’t be able to submit the evaluation.
Once an evaluation is submitted, all fields are locked and can’t be edited unless the evaluation is set back to In progress because an approver marked their approval as Change requested.
To submit a risk evaluation for approval:
From the left menu, select Assessments.
Select the risk assessment containing the evaluation you want to update.
Select the Evaluations tab.
Locate and open the evaluation you want to submit for approval.
Click the Submit button.
The status field changes to Submitted, and the Cancel Approvals button displays. See Canceling risk evaluation approvals.
When the first approver sets their approval to In progress or submits their approval decision as Approved for the evaluation, the evaluation status automatically changes to In review. If any approver submits their approval as Change requested, the evaluation status automatically changes back to In progress, the Submit button is enabled again, and all open approvals are cancelled. The process then starts again.
