Editing Evidence Task Name

1. Sign in to Scrut, and click Compliance → Evidence Tasks on the left navigation panel.

3. Click the edit icon next to the task’s name.

Heads Up!

Changing the name of the evidence means you are just updating the task's title. The actual evidence content stays the same.

Editing the Details of an Individual Evidence Task

Scrut also gives you the flexibility to edit several evidence tasks at once:

1. Go to the All Evidences tab and select the evidence tasks that you want to edit.

2. Click the Edit button at the top of the Evidence Tasks table.

   

3. This opens the Edit details drawer. You can edit the following fields:

   • Department

   • Assignee

   • Recurrence

   • Relevance (Mark selected tasks as relevant or not relevant)

4. Click Save. The changes will be applied to all selected evidence tasks.
