Authority Documents

Utilize this page to create groups of authority documents called authority document lists. By creating a list, for example, you can get all of the distinct common controls across the authority documents in that list.

Create Authority Document Lists

This is available to the Owner, Administrator and Editor roles.

From the My Frameworks tab, select Create List. Enter a name and description and select one or more authority documents your account has access to. When done, select Create List.

Note: If an authority document list is selected, you will need to close it to create a new list. For the Create List button to appear, select the "X" next to the authority document list name that is selected.

Once a list is created, you can add more documents to it by selecting Add Documents. Select one or more documents to add and select Add Documents.

To remove a document from the selected list, choose the action menu "..." next to the document name and select Remove from list. Confirm the removal and that document will be removed from the list.
