Contextualizing Controls
The same control can be assessed in the framework of different contexts (for example processes or entities). To enable this multiple assessment, you must "contextualize" controls, that is connect them to context objects.
You must connect controls to entities through the indirect link “Control->Process->Entity”:
• Connect processes (organizational or business) to entities of the organization.
• Connect controls to processes
Connecting processes to an entity
To connect processes to en entity:
1. In the navigation menu, select My Environment > My Organization > My Entities and select an entity.
2. In the properties of the entity, expand the Scope section.
3. In the subtab corresponding to organizational or business processes, click Connect.
4. In the query dialog box that appears, click the Find button, select the required process and click Connect.
