1. Revamped user interface and experience

Our newest version of Camms.Risk v4.0, will feature a completely revamped and modernised user interface designed with
simplicity and clarity in mind. Camms.Risk v4.0 delivers a new user experience and refines many aspects of a user’s day-to-day interaction with the solution. It provides clarity on what your users should be doing, where they can go next and makes it easier to locate items within the user interface. As we continue to build out this next-generation platform, this redesign also sets the stage for further improvements in our upcoming releases.

Sycle Note: The revamped user interface changes will apply only to standalone customers that use Camms.Risk Audit. Customers that use SYCLE will get all of these updates at a later stage. 

The revamped items that will be available for our SYCLE customers will be noted within each of the items.

How to configure this?

A new permission called ‘Internal Audit Sign Off’ will appear for both Audit types under Audit Recommendation in the Role Management area. Users can provide permissions to the Internal Audit Sign Off via the below paths:

  • OHS Audits: Main Menu > Administration > Role Management > [New icon / Edit icon of an existing role] > Product [Select Audit] > Recommendation > OHS > Details > Internal Audit Sign Off
  • GOV Audits: Main Menu > Administration > Role Management > [New icon / Edit icon of an existing role] > Product [Select Audit] > Recommendation > GOV > Details > Internal Audit Sign Off

How does this work?

  • Users with the ‘Internal Audit Sign Off’ permission ticked for Audit Recommendations, within the roles that they are assigned with, will be able to sign off the Audit Recommendations.
  • Users with only the ‘Edit’ permission ticked for Audit Recommendations, within the roles that they are assigned with, will not be able to sign off the Audit Recommendations. The ‘Internal Audit Sign Off’ button will be disabled for these users.
