Sustainability & Risk / Compliance / Compliance Program Manager
Managing All Compliance Events
Note: You can generate events for both contract terms and compliance program requirements. The information in this topic applies to events for both contract terms and requirements.
From the Manage All Compliance Events task, you can manage any event; that is to say,
- events assigned to you, or any Responsible Person
- events that you generate using a recurring schedule
- non-recurring events that you manually enter
- events having any Event Status. For example, if needed, you can adjust the schedule for a Scheduled task that has not yet begun. Or, you could update the status to Completed and Verified for a Completed event that has just been verified.
Use this view to:
- create new events
- edit event properties, including editing the Responsible Person to reassign an event.
- update the status for events. The events are highlighted to help you identify events having a specific Event Status, or events that have not started or completed on schedule (missed and overdue events.) See Highlighting, later in this topic.
- view documents, communications logs, and notifications for an event
- add documents, communications logs, and notifications to an event
- complete an event questionnaire
- create service requests for events

Highlighting
To help you locate events by their Event Status, or to identify events that have not started or completed on time, this view highlights events. You must be entering and updating the status for your events to use the highlighting feature. See Updating Event Status and Closing Events.
Note: Whether and for how long you are able to edit events with an Event Status of Closed depends on how your System Administrator has set up the application parameter to edit closed events (Events_DaysAllowEdit_AfterClose
). This parameter can be set so that you can edit a Closed event at any time, regardless of how long it has been closed, or, it can be set to specify a certain number of days after it is marked Closed that editing is allowed. See Application Parameters for Compliance.
Highlight Color | Description |
---|---|
Red | These are Missed events. Missed events have not been completed on schedule. Missed events are those where the [Date Scheduled End] has passed and the Event Status is either Scheduled, In Progress, Stopped, or On Hold. Events that are Canceled, Completed or Closed are not included as Missed Events Missed event color overrides Overdue color. That is, if an event qualifies for both statuses, it is shown as missed, not as overdue. |
Orange | These are Overdue events. Overdue events have not started on schedule. Overdue events are those where the [Date Scheduled Start] has passed and the Event Status is Scheduled, On-Hold, or Stopped. Events that are In-Progress, Canceled, Completed or Closed are not included in Overdue events. |
Blue | These events are In Progress |
Green | These events are Completed or Closed. |
