The compliance case administrator configures the questionnaire, and when an action task moves from the Draft to the Assigned state, the assessment is sent. After the assessment, the compliance case manager examines the nature of the non-compliance and its impact on the organization. Based on the findings, appropriate remediation measures are identified and implemented to resolution. To use the smart assessment, a new property called enable_smart_assessments (sn_grc_case_mgmt.enable_smart_assessments) is introduced with the default value as true. [Unified Task-driven UI experience](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=perform-smart-assessment-on-action-task&family=yokohama&ft:locale=en-US) : As a business user, use the Tasks page on the Employee Center for a consolidated view of all your tasks, enabling you to access and complete them efficiently.

Employees can save a copy of their report for future reference. For security and confidentiality, the submitted information is not displayed again. Reports are routed to the appropriate compliance team based on the nature of the concern.Throughout the investigation process: * Investigators can request additional information through a comments system visible to the reporter * Reporters can follow up on their case using their report key to check progress and respond to questions * All interactions maintain reporter anonymity at every step; no identity or location data is ever captured or linked This enhancement enables organizations to build trust, mitigate risks before escalation, and ensures regulatory compliance with whistleblower protection requirements.
