CM App: Collaboration

Your collaboration requests via the Vendor Access Program are tracked in the Collaboration page [menu-collaboration.png Collaboration] of the Continuous Monitoring application. Track requests made by you or your colleagues and see where your vendors are in the collaboration process. This comprehensive overview of your collaboration allows you to adjust your communication strategies and internal processes, as needed.

The complete history of these requests can help you and your teams determine:

  • To what degree your recipients have engaged with the requests.
  • Who sent the requests.
  • When the request was submitted.
