Providing information about attestation objects

To help attestors make their approval decisions, attestation cases must provide all necessary information about the attestation objects. This information can be provided either by a report or by a snapshot of the respective attestation object.

  1. Report

    Depending on the selected table, it is possible to choose between different default reports. To specify yourself what information the attestors are given, use the Report Editor to design a report.

  2. Snapshot

    If no report is specified, a snapshot of the object to be attested is created. This contains all object properties, objects referenced by foreign key, and their properties. The scope of the snapshot can be reduced.
