Each control has an owner, a renewal frequency, and a status that reflects whether evidence is current. Open a control from the Controls page to set or update these fields.

Each control shows Evidence Status, Effectiveness, Review state, and active Frameworks at the top
Category, Requirement Level, Hierarchy Level, Renewal cadence, and Deactivation rules sit below the description
Status meanings: Complete, Needs Evidence, Due Soon, Overdue, Missing
Renewal cadence drives the schedule for evidence updates
Tabs on each control: Evidence, Consultations, Risk Scenarios, Tasks, Comments, Activity Log

Opening a control

From the Controls page, click any row (for example, GOV-14 "Run scheduled risk assessments with worker consultation and surveys"). The control detail page opens.

Top-level cards

Four cards run across the top:

Evidence Status: a count of evidence items required vs uploaded, with a Complete / Needs Evidence indicator
Effectiveness: the current effectiveness rating (Effective, Partially Effective, Ineffective, Not Assessed) with last-updated date and next review date. Use Update Rating to change it
Review: the current review state. Use Create Review to request approval (see "Conducting a control effectiveness review", 4.5)
Frameworks: which active frameworks this control satisfies

Description and metadata

Below the cards, the Description explains the control and the evidence it expects. Beneath the description, five fields summarise control metadata:

Field	Meaning
Category	Governance, Job Design, Policies, Training, or Environment
Requirement Level	Mandatory or optional under the control's frameworks
Hierarchy Level	Where on the Hierarchy of Controls this control sits (Elimination, Substitution, Engineering, Administrative, Personal)
Renewal	Frequency of review (Yearly, Quarterly, Monthly, Daily, Ongoing)
Deactivation	Whether the control can be deactivated and under what conditions

Status meanings

The status badge on each control reflects its current state:

Complete: all required evidence is uploaded and current
Needs Evidence: evidence is missing or in draft
Due Soon: evidence is approaching its expiration date
Overdue: evidence has passed its expiration date
Missing: a required evidence item has never been uploaded

Renewal frequency

The renewal frequency drives the schedule for evidence updates. For a control set to Yearly renewal:

Evidence uploaded today is valid for 12 months
Status moves to Due Soon as the expiration date approaches
Status moves to Overdue once the expiration date passes

Set renewal cadence to match how often the underlying activity should be reviewed in your organisation.
