* **Configurable recommendations and actions:** Enables setup of recommendations for various record types and supports follow-up actions directly within workflows.
* **Intelligent recommendations:** Utilizes generative AI and Predictive Intelligence to provide relevant recommendations that improve continuously through machine learning and predictive scoring.

## Practical Use

When recommendations are generated for a regulatory alert, the Recommendations page organizes them into key sections:

* **Recommended areas of impact:** Highlights business areas affected.
* **Citations:** Includes details such as citation names, parent citations, and authority documents.
* **Control objectives:** Provides information on control objectives and their hierarchy.
* **Evaluate affected associations:** Lists potential affected child citations, control objectives, policies, controls, and risk statements for inclusion in recommendations.

A feedback side-panel tracks user interactions with recommendations, including accepted, skipped, or dismissed items, supporting continuous improvement and auditability.
