Compliance templates
This feature is exclusive to teams on a Private Cloud plan. To learn more about plans, refer to our pricing page.
Workspace owners and reviewers can add custom compliance templates to a Workspace. Navigate to the Compliance page under the Management section in the menu to manage compliance templates.
Add a compliance template
- Documentation
- Checklist
Click Add to open the Add a template window. Select 'Documentation' as your template type. Choose a name and add a description for the template. Click Download to get a copy of the .csv template file. The template has been pre-filled with example input. Replace the example input with the questions that you want to include in your documentation template. Optionally, assign a question to a category or add a subtitle.
If the category column is left completely empty, questions are not grouped at all. If you leave the category column empty only for some questions, those questions are automatically grouped into a category called 'other'.
Save the template file, and upload it in the Add a template window. After clicking Save, the template is now available as a documentation insight for all Deployments within the Workspace.
Click Add to open the Add a template window. Select 'Checklist' as your template type. Choose a name and add a description for the template. Check off the checks you want to include in your checklist and fill in the blanks where this is required (required fields are highlighted with a red line).
Click Save, the template is now available as a checklist insight for all Deployments within the Workspace. The Deployment overview compliance percentage is based on the weighted average of the checks from all checklist insights of a Deployment.
