Client wants to do Citation level attestation. From the below approaches, what would be the best in terms of saving development efforts and any other suggestions ?

1. Approach 1 : Citation Form (draft > attest > review > active > retired)

  • Create a process flow
  • Create the UI Actions
  • Create fields like att. frequency, att. metric, assessment group, assigned to 
  • On "Attest" button click, an attestation task would be created for the citation
  • No Control Objective need to be linked to Citations which are attested

2. Approach 2 : Citation Form (draft > attest > review > active > retired)

  • new field Citation level attestation : Yes/No
  • If Yes,
  • new field attestation metric : ?
  • new field attestation frequency : ?
  • new field entity type : ?
  • create CO with same name using script and map the entity type, enable auto-create controls
  • Bring that Citation Level Att. field on Control form and if yes, set the attestation frequency, att. metric, respondents for the controls as per citation
  • Currently, there is a manual way from list actions to group assessments. Using script, group the control attestations and 1 task will be created

Please suggest.

Searching for a solution for our case where there is one citation to many control objectives. This causes many attestations.  My question is... what can be done with little dev work? Can that citation data be put in the Control Objective record and have the Attestation from it?  I know the Control Objective will need to be mapped to the internal policy standards> Parent policy.  And you still need the Autho Doc record and the Citation record to mapped to the Control Objective.  Thoughts?
