Compliance Explorer

Compliance Explorer Feature

This page contains information to assist our customers with utilizing the Compliance Explorer feature in RegScale. It describes what it is, why you would use it, the benefits, and provides instructions on getting started.

What is it?

The Compliance Explorer is a digital filing cabinet for grouping related records in RegScale. It allows you to group compliance information in a logical organizational structure of arbitrary complexity and depth. This feature models hierarchical relationships between records (parent to child) in a one to many fashion (meaning the one parent record can have many children). This feature is logically equivalent to Windows Explorer where it organizes files in a hierarchical folder structure. Compliance Explorer does the same thing for RegScale records to organize records and to allow navigation up and down the structure.

Why would you use it?

There are many reasons to use this feature which include:

• Organizing compliance data for maximum efficiency in data retrieval
• Providing visual feedback on the relationship of records to one another
• The ability to traverse up and down complex directory structures
