The Frameworks area manages which laws and standards apply to the organization, and assesses their objectives individually.

​
Activate a framework

To activate a framework under Available Frameworks, click Activate at the bottom of its tile; it then appears under Active Frameworks, whatever its type. Deactivate at the bottom of an active framework’s tile deactivates it again. Without write permission in the module, you cannot activate or deactivate a framework.
Deactivating deletes no data. Assessments, justifications, review dates, and relations to controls and documents are kept—a tile that was previously installed shows this through the number of complete and applicable objectives from before deactivation and the date of the last activation. Reactivating only resets the status to active and does not re-import the objectives; only a first-time activation does that, which makes it noticeably slower.
After deactivating, Docusnap365 closes any open detail tab of that framework. Do not deactivate a framework you are currently working on.

​
Assess an objective

The detail page of an active framework shows its objectives as a tree. Every objective has a detail page of its own that opens as a separate tab; there you decide on Applicability and Implementation Status and link controls, documents, and assets. See Objectives.
The groups in the tree are the framework’s root sections, not the level directly above an objective—the same sections the filter buttons above the tree also show. Structural sub-headings do not count toward a group’s number of complete objectives; only leaves are assessable.
The list shows changes made by other users only after you reload it with Refresh in its toolbar.

​
Assess several objectives at once

With multiple objectives selected, Edit opens Bulk Edit with the fields Applicability, Justification, and Implementation Status; Applicability and Implementation Status can also be left at ”— No change —”. Multiple selection is available only with write permission in the module.
Justification is locked while Applicability is ”— No change —”, and required once you choose Not applicable. A justification alone is not enough: you can apply only once Applicability or Implementation Status is set. The apply button carries the number of selected objectives and, once run, reports full success, partial success with the number of failures, or complete failure.
If you set an Implementation Status for a selection that contains objectives that are not applicable or not assessed, Docusnap365 saves nothing. Set Applicability to Applicable in the same pass, or remove those objectives from the selection.
This is the entry point for a newly activated framework: mark everything that does not concern your organization as Not applicable in one pass. The number of applicable objectives then reflects a realistic base.
Objectives covers an objective’s detail page with assessment, review, and relations. Understanding Compliance explains framework types and objective statuses. Check Compliance Status shows the metrics across all active frameworks.
