The Matrix Report application presents data in a structured grid or table format. You can analyze relationships between different variables, such as risks and controls. Each row in the matrix represents a specific item, such as a risk, control, or related issue. The columns contain details such as the item's name, description, owner, risk ratings, and other data points. For example, an Audit Manager might use a risk and control matrix report to assess and document risks and internal controls.
The Matrix Report application is commonly used for the Risk and Control Matrix report in Audit. It can be displayed on a workspace landing page, such as the Audit Workspace, or on a record page, such as the Audit Engagement record.
The Matrix Report application:
- Inspects related data in a single view.
- Supports configurations that include any table and its related tables.
- Includes elements such as risks, entities, controls, control tests, and issues.
New
Query range ACLs include the following enhancements:
- Consistent access control — All tables include standardized query range security ACLs. These ACLs ensure that authenticated users with appropriate read permissions can query records consistently across the platform.
- Seamless upgrade experience — New query ACL rules are installed automatically during upgrade, with no administrator action required. Automated upgrade scripts handle the transition, including detecting and processing previously customized ACLs to ensure existing processes continue without interruption.
Post-upgrade review for customized ACLs:
- If the instance includes administrator-modified query range ACLs, review those records after upgrade to confirm they align with the intended access policy.
Permissions and roles:
To install the application, the user must have the System Administrator (admin) role.
