Managing Engagements

Engagements are displayed on the Engagements tab of the Runbooks module.

This view shows the engagement title, associated test plan, associated client, date the engagement was last updated, and engagement progress. Engagements can also be viewed, edited or deleted from the "Actions" column.

Engagement Status

Engagements are identified as submitted, not submitted, or in progress.

Progress is based on the completion of contained procedures, and progress is displayed in two locations:

1. On the Engagements tab as a progress bar:

1. Within the top toolbar of the engagement's home page:

Engagements completed but not submitted will display "Not Submitted" under the 100% progress bar.

Engagements submitted become reports and are identified with a green checkmark and label and will remain listed in Runbooks until deleted.

Only engagements that are in progress can be edited. Once an engagement is submitted and becomes a report, it cannot be edited.
