Overview

Note Events, Registers and Documents displayed on this help page will be different to what you will see in your system.

The Portal

Use the TriLine GRC Portal to record your new Register and Event record entries, and (if licensed) read and download your organisations documents and policies, all outside of the TriLine GRC main system.

All new Register and Event entries recorded in the Portal will be reviewed and processed within the TriLine GRC system by those with the correct security access.

(If configured by your administrator) all your Register and Event entries can be reviewed in your Portal History list (till they are processed into a Closed status). This allows you to add as many further notes and attachments as you if you require.
