  • The Login screen has been redesigned and allows the user to login with their email address or username and password or with Azure/Single Sign On (SSO).
  • If an incorrect email/username or password is entered a message occurs asking the user to try again. A "Forgot password" link is also available and requires an email to get the link to reset the password. The user will set a new password that meets the password requirements previously determined in Settings.

  • The Comment column allows the user to add a response, save as a draft, submit a response, clear a response, or see past responses.
  • New and Existing Artifacts can be uploaded by hovering over the Artifact column of the control and clicking "Attach."
  • Tags can be added for a Control Id in the Control Tag column.
  • New Guidance can be added or Past Guidance can be viewed in the Guidance column by selecting +Add Guidance for controls without a guidance or selecting the blue pencil icon on the bottom right corner of the box.
  • Sub frameworks can be viewed by first selecting them in the show/hide columns menu.
  • Suggestive and Authoritative mapped controls can be viewed if selected from the show/hide columns menu. This would also show the Suggestive and Authoritative mapped control count.
  • SOR data for mapped controls can be viewed when the SOR field is enabled.
  • In Framework Editor, the Active Control (controls that are accessible) and Disabled Control (controls that are inactive) counts are displayed at the top of the page.
