3.1.4 Unique Per Record
When Control fields are marked as 'Unique Per Record', details can be maintained uniquely for the same Control, linked to multiple Risks and Compliance records. If fields are maintained as common (not unique/unticked), these fields will appear as Read-Only and cannot be edited. These fields can be updated only via the Control Template.
Note: This setting will be visible once an internal setting 'Enable Functionality To Manage Risk Controls Commonly' is enabled via Camms Support. Once this internal setting is enabled, you can configure this column.
3.1.4.1 Unticked (maintained as common fields)
Fields will appear as Read-Only fields within the 'Control Record Detail' page accessed via the 'Control Record' grids in the Risk Assessment tab (Camms.Risk module) and the 'Control Object' (Camms.Risk Compliance module).
If any updates are required to be made for these fields within the 'Control Record Detail' pages, it will need to be updated via the Master Control Templates in the 'Control Register'.
Example
Fields maintained as Common | Control ABC as a Template (Control Register) | Control ABC Linked to a Risk Record | Control ABC Linked to a Compliance Record |
Control Type | Preventative (Can be edited) | Preventative (Read-Only) | Preventative (Read-Only) |
Control Owner | John (Can be edited) | John (Read Only) | John (Read-Only) |
3.1.4.2 Ticked (maintained as unique fields)
You will be able to edit these fields within the 'Control Record Detail' page accessed via the 'Control Record' grids in the Risk Assessment tab (Camms.Risk module) and the Control Object (Camms.Risk Compliance module).
Editing these fields within a particular Risk/ Compliance Record, will not impact the same field of other Controls Linked to Risk or Compliance Records. Therefore, the details can be maintained in a unique manner against each of these individual records.
This option will be useful if you have different divisions/users handling the Master Control Templates, Risk Controls, and Compliance Controls. This way, any changes done to a Control linked to a specific record, will not impact the other linked records or the Master Template.
Example
Fields maintained as Unique | Control ABC as a Template (Control Register) | Control ABC Linked to a Risk Record | Control ABC Linked to a Compliance Record |
Control Type | Preventative (Can be edited) | Corrective (Can be edited) | Directive (Can be edited) |
Control Owner | John (Can be edited) | Jack (Can be edited) | Alex (Can be edited) |
3.1.4.3 Ticked and Unticked (maintained as a combination of unique and common fields)
Additionally, you can decide if you wish to maintain a combination of fields that can be maintained as Unique and Common. This way, critical fields can be configured as Common fields which will need to be maintained at a Control Template level. And the rest can be configured as Unique fields which will allow you to update these as Required via linked Risk and Compliance Records.
