You can use a Regulation asset type to document the important clauses of a major legislation. A regulation is a key driver of internal policies that direct how an organization conducts its business.
Use the Regulation asset to connect to the Policy and the Geography assets and explain the effects on the organization operations.
For example, if your organization is in the healthcare industry, you can create assets that represent the various healthcare regulations in the operating countries.
You can rate a Regulation asset to indicate your assessment of its quality, and add comments to share input on the data. This enables different users to collaborate on assets and make collective decisions on using the data. For more information about collaborating on an asset, see the Asset Management help.
You can view the number of open tickets and overdue tickets. Open tickets indicate the tickets pending in progress to track changes to the Regulation asset. Overdue tickets indicate the tickets beyond due date that require your action. You can also view the lifecycle of the regulation to know the particular stage of the lifecycle in the asset workflow.
