Using the Object library

Audit users can access the Object library from Audit navigation and browse shared objects without requiring Risk Manager or Internal Controls entitlements. Ownership of the source objects remains with the originating application while Audit users can view and use the objects in their workflows.

Accessing objects

You can access GRC objects in the following areas:

• Audit scoping Select a control name from an Audit scoping workflow to access the related Object library item directly.

• Control test lists Access shared controls and related objects from control test lists within your audit workflows.

• Object library navigation Browse the Object library to search for and explore controls, assessment methods, processes, and other shared objects available in the platform.

• From Object library links When no controls exist yet, use the control library link in Audit scoping to access shared controls from the Object library.

Adding an object

1. From the Platform home page (www.diligentoneplatform.com), select the Audit app to open it.

   If you are already in Diligent One, you can use the left-hand navigation menu to switch to the Audit app.

2. Select Object library from the navigation menu.

3. Select New object and select an object type from the dropdown menu, such as Audit finding or Control test.

4. Depending on the object type, complete the steps in the associated help article below:

   • Controls Working with controls

   • Processes Working with processes

   • Assessment methods Working with assessment methods

   • Control assessments Working with Control assessments

5. Save the object.

   It is now available for browsing from the Object library and linking from Audit workflows.
