Our team was initially using Workiva for SOX, however we've recently added the Audit Module. When using Local File Sync, the 60-minute limit is causing some issues now, as the Audit team frequently has files open longer than 60 minutes. Why is t...
Is there any way to retrieve or restore a deleted test form from the Admin side or the Workiva support side? If not, can a "trash can" folder/functionality be added for the Admins?
Our understanding of PBC requests is that assignees can add support to a request over time, and as long as they don't click "submit" until they are completed, the request will stay open, but we will be able to see what has been uploaded. The desi...
Is there a way to dynamically insert data from a report to it's connected sheet? If not, we need the ability to insert an entire report into a document. As data is refreshed in the database there is currently no way to know whether a connected she...
Hi, How can I edit or add additional options under the the "Include a new phase" icon? I would like to include a "Year-End" option as well. See below.
I am working on the "Request" experience creating multiple tasks (PBC Requests). Now, I'm adding additional collaborators that were not originally added when I created the "requests". I want to make sure they have the right permissions to the ta...
Hi How can I restore requests against which data was uploaded but were mistakenly deleted
When I have selected a Data Type for 'New Record Creation' in the Report Permissions - Editing Rules, how does someone create a record? This has not been demonstrated in any of the help videos.
Is it possible to create an "Overdue" status for PBC requests in addition to the standard PBC statuses as shown below that could also be a field in PBC reports. The status of overdue should be calculated based on the due date. This would allow eas...
I'm trying to approve tests forms in SOX. I have been already added as the Reviewer in the Test Form but it I do not see an approve button. If I make a right click on the mouse or try Editing the review, it does not give me an approve button eithe...
Is there a way to resize text boxes within Audit Procedures?
We've been trying to use the local file sync functionality and have run into various issues. Is there anyone using the functionality in their program?
We are working to set up our data in Wdesk and are trying to plan ahead on how to handle secondary controls. Does anyone else renumber secondary controls when they change their risk profile? If so, what format have you used for control numbering...
It's not Wdesk related, or maybe it could be? We have a monthly internal PBC listing that has thousands of rows. It's similar to a PBC, except it's used internally only. It's really beneficial for SEC related, especially if we need wps from depar...
We are looking for a RACI template to define Support responsibilities between Accounting and Systems Support.
Can Requests be bulk uploaded? If so, please provide the instructions or if not, that would be a nice feature to have.
I'm trying to delete a reviewer accidentally added to a review plan. Is there a way to delete a reviewer from the SOX platform?
I recently had it come up that whenever a user uploads a PDF file that already has items highlighted within it, whenever we try open that PDF in the markup viewer, the highlight actually covers and hides the amount, instead of highlighting it. Su...
The auto-calculated 'Next Review Due' field for a document is calculated based on Frequency of Review, Review Month and Review Day; however, I have a document with a last approval date of January 20th, 2020. In these cases, I would want the Next R...
How does one view all prior year SOX workpapers in Workiva?
We can enter multiple lines within a single cell of a Spreadsheet by hitting Alt-Enter. The same is true in an embedded spreadsheet. However, that apparently is not the case when editing a cell in a Test Steps and Attributes table. If this is t...
Hi, I'm aware that there's a page that describes most of the Workspace roles, but there are a couple that are not mentioned. Can someone clarify what the following roles entail? + Dashboards ( Full ) + Data + PBC Requests + Reports ( Full ) + Tes...
Is there a self-service method by which I can update the drop down menu options for an existing field in my Audit form? For example, our Audit form has a 'Status' field with drop down options of Open/Closed and our Issue form has a 'Category' fiel...
1. Can we modify the assessment forms and templates? 2. Can we change the current risk scoring from (1-3) to (1-5) and how do we execute it? If so, is a specific role required? 3. Can we rename the nature and basic fields if the client has a dif...
Would like to add new records but seems the only option is to upload individual, is there a way to upload a data set or matrix again?
Hello, I've noticed that the filters on reports in the SOX workspace are static. When you search for criteria in the filter box, you can then hit Select All to include all the filtered items. BUT if you leave that filter in place, and a new item i...
I would be interested in how everyone (Audit or SOX) handles other observations. In an audit, occasionally you may come across an item that is not a risk, but more of an efficiency or good practice to do that would be beneficial to the client. I...
Hi there, We have a control for which system has been changed in 2021 (let's say we use system A in 2020 and now is B). As we changed that info in the control data (IPE > Relies on IT system field) we noted that the system info has also been chang...
Hi, I want to create a report that shows status of all controls as well as workflow status so that external auditors can see which test forms are 100% complete and workflow status is also "phase complete" / "approved"
I am hoping to add on a new test form with new control updated for this year. Please advise how I can add this control, the control is not from the list of populated ones.
