Overview

As a user of the IT Audit Machine, the My Forms screen is the screen from which most of your work will be managed. From here you will be able to access the forms which need to be filled out with your organization's information to document compliance.

In this section of the User Guide, we’ll look at the various capabilities of the My Forms page and explore how it will help you access the forms you need for your organization.

...

When you first access the My Forms page in ITAM, you will be presented with a view of all of the forms which are available to your organization (entity). On the left will be any folders which have been created to organize the available forms. On the right , any forms which are not organized into a folder will be displayed.

Searching for Forms

_{[Back To Top]}

As more forms are added to your entity, it can be easy to lose track of where various forms are kept. Instead of clicking through the various folders searching for a form, you can use the provided search capability to facilitate quickly finding the form you need.

...

The search tool includes two options for searching, one for simply searching the titles of the forms and a more in-depth option for searching within the elements of the forms for the terms. It also provides a power powerful search and replace capability which that allows for quickly updating or replacing data in your forms.

Searching by Form Title

Searching by Form Title is the simplest method of searching for a particular form. Simply enter the text for which you want to search and click the Go button.

Forms contained within a folder will be returned within the folder which contains it, essentially reducing the displayed folders to only those that contain matching forms. To display the matching forms within a folder simply , click on the name of the folder to expand it.

...

Searching by Form Elements

_{[Back To Top]}

Searching by Form Elements is very similar to Searching by Form Name, however, instead of searching the titles of the forms, the tool will search within the forms to find any matches and display the resulting forms. Unlike the Name search, the results will not highlight the search term in the results.

Searching and Replacing Data

_{[Back To Top]}

The Search and Replace capability takes the Search Tool to the next level by allowing you to quickly find and replace data within your forms without needing to open each form independently, update the relevant data, and then save and close the form again. Instead, you can select the form which that contains the data you want to replace, enter the value to find in the search field, the value to replace it with, and click Go.

Some forms contain fields which that have been grouped together into Control Groups. When those exist in a form, color-coded tiles will be displayed in a heat map underneath the form when expanded representing each Control Group.
