    About this task

    Starting with version 21.0.x, you can create action tasks for a regulatory task when the task is in any of the following states:

    • New
    • Work in Progress
    • Implementation

    You can now break down a regulatory task into smaller, manageable components so that you can more efficiently track and execute the required activities. You can plan, assign, and monitor tasks now in a structured manner that supports your compliance objectives and regulatory requirements.

    The regulatory action tasks are created as a follow-up to complete the changes that have been identified as part of the impact assessment for regulatory change tasks. Once these specific changes are identified, you can create and manage these action tasks as a manager or user.

    You can perform common user-actions like Enter, Choose, Select, Attach, View, Add, Associate, and Unlink.
