Modify Existing RCM Content Utilizing the RCM Content Utility

The RCM content utility allows teams to modify (update, move or delete) existing RCMs within the Governance Portal. This includes modifying any relationships between the objects. Entities (organizations, processes, IT applications and projects/events) must already exist in the Governance Portal prior to utilizing the RCM content utility. Utilize the instructions on the Tab and Field Descriptions worksheet in the utility to ensure your updates are applied properly.

  1. Open the content utility spreadsheet from your hard drive.

    Notes:

    • See Download the Content Management Utility for additional information.
    • The Tab and Field Descriptions worksheet provides detailed instructions for each field in the spreadsheet.
    • Each tab is designated for a specific RCM object (e.g. objective, risk, control, action plan etc.)
    • Each sheet has required fields that must be completed to successfully upload the content (e.g. the action to be taken and the Entity Id are required on each worksheet). Execute the Entity search to obtain the id if necessary.

    Move Existing RCM Content

    Moving RCM content from one entity to another is a two step process.

    • Move the object

    • Create the object linkages

      Note: If you are moving objects that are already linked together (e.g. a risk linked to a control) in the originating RCM, the system will automatically create the linkages in the destination RCM. If you wish to link an object to a new object, then you must perform the steps below.

      • Utilize the appropriate "link" worksheet (e.g. RiskControlLink).
      • Enter Create in the Action column next to the record to be linked.
