    In the PBC request tab, you can generate the requests by copying from previous testing periods but if they were never created before, you will have to create them first. 

    In terms of how PBC request tab works is, you create the details of the request first and then select the controls which the request applies to and then select who receives/approves the requests. What I did was creating all the requests on behalf of the external auditors and then select them as the approvers so they get the responses. You can also modify the permission of the requests to give auditors the "owner" access so both you and the external auditors have the full access to view and download the responses.

    If a client uploads a document, the request will automatically show up in the "In Review" section. There is a "Document Request Status" report in WDesk Reporting tab which gives you the status of document requests. It might not be perfect but you can work with it.

    Thanks Bruce! 
    I am an outsourced auditor who was given accesses to workiva. Could you help me to find where/ how PBC tab could be generated? Thanks in advance

    You will need to ask the WDesk admin of your company to give you the access to PBC tab. He/She needs to go to edit your "role".
