Creating a label and linking proof

Written by Hyperproof Support
Updated over 3 weeks ago

👥 Roles and permissions

The following roles can create a label:

  • Administrators

  • Compliance managers


Linking proof directly to a control is quick and easy but becomes labor and time-intensive when you want to reuse the same files across multiple controls. That’s where labels come in. Similar to labels in Gmail, or tags in other software applications, labels are containers that can include multiple proof files.


💡 Tip

For more information, see the Labels tab video at the bottom of this page.


To create a label and link proof

  1. From the left menu, select Labels.

  2. Click New.

    The New label window opens.

  3. Enter a name for the label and, optionally, a description.

  4. Click Create.

    The label is created.

  5. Select the label you just created.

  6. Select the Proof tab.

  7. Hyperproof only supports uploading up to 1GB of proof in a single upload.

    Add your proof in one of the following ways:

    • Drag and drop files onto the proof grid.

    • Click Add proof and select one of the following:

      • My Computer - To use proof stored on your computer, click My Computer in the upper-left corner.

      • This <object> - To use proof stored on objects linked to an evaluation or audit request, click This <object>.

      • Cloud storage integration - To use proof stored in an integration, such as Drive, select the integration’s icon from the Add integration section in the bottom-left corner. Optionally, turn on LiveSync to automatically keep your proof up to date.

      • Paste a link - Select this option to use a website URL as proof. The URL is rendered as a “Link” file type in Hyperproof; the only information shown in the file is the URL.

      • Paste an image - Select this option to use a screenshot as proof. Take a screenshot (Cmd-Shift-5 on Mac, Shift-S on Windows), copy it to the clipboard, and then paste it in Hyperproof. Chrome users may need to allow this functionality. If prompted by the browser, refresh the page after clicking Allow.

      • Existing proof - To reuse proof that already exists in your organization, select either Labels, Proof, My Controls, Vendors, Risks, Policies, or Programs from the left menu.


        📝 Note

        When selecting existing proof on a policy, only effective and retired policy versions display.
