Alert Handling Suggestions

CA GovernanceMinder generally offers “intelligent” suggestions for handling an alert based on its analysis of each generated alert. The range of suggestions is very wide and corresponds to the type of alert. If the Role Engineer clicks on the suggestion, a relevant follow-up window often opens to continue handling the problem as suggested. In some cases, CA GovernanceMinder does not make any suggestions for handling the alert but does give direct access to the entity details window (refer to the following section).

The following are some examples of suggestions from an actual AuditCard:
