About this task

Selecting Create a new evidence request task in this procedure allows you to create an response directly. This bypasses the need to first create collection details. Typically, a response is created for each collection detail before working on the evidence response — this step is skipped when creating the task directly.

Procedure

1. Navigate to Audit > Engagements > My Engagements.
2. Open the engagement record, and select the related list from which you want to request evidence.
3. Select the Evidence tab.
4. Select New to create a new evidence request task.
   Request evidence page is displayed.
5. On the form, fill in the fields.
