Written by Hyperproof Support
Updated this week

Roles and permissions

The following roles can bulk edit control scopes:

  • Anyone who is a manager on the parent control

  • Anyone who is a manager on the control scope

Multiple control scopes can be edited at once using Hyperproof’s bulk edit feature.

As with regular controls, you can view, edit, filter, and group and sort control scopes from your organization's Controls main list.

Expanding control scopes

Follow the steps below to view control scopes in the Controls main list. Control scopes can be viewed in both grid and card views.

  1. From the left menu, select Controls.

  2. Select the Expand scopes checkbox.

    Control scopes are now visible and no longer consolidated within the main control. To consolidate the controls, clear the Expand scopes checkbox.

    1. Click Export to export the control scopes to either a CSV or XLSX file. See Exporting controls from the Controls window

    2. Click Archive to archive the selected control scopes. Archiving control scopes works the same as archiving regular controls. See Archiving and unarchiving a control

    4. Click Domain to change the domain area of the selected control scopes.

    5. Click Owner to change the owner of the selected control scopes to an individual user or group. See Adding users to controls from the Controls window

    7. Click Implementation to change the implementation status of the selected control scopes.

    8. Click Testing status to change the status of the selected control scopes.

    9. Click Mark fresh to mark the selected control scopes as fresh.

    10. Click Freshness settings to adjust the freshness settings of the selected control scopes. See Setting freshness on multiple controls or labels

    11. Click the ... (More options) icon, then click Automation to change the automation status of the selected control scopes.

Assigning scopes to multiple controls at once

Follow the steps below to assign a scope or scopes to multiple controls in bulk.

Note: Assigning scopes to multiple controls only works when scopes are not expanded in grid view.

  1. From the left menu, select Controls.

  2. Click the Grid view icon.

  3. Select the checkboxes next to the controls for which you want to assign scopes.

  4. Click Edit scopes.

    The Edit scope assignments window opens.

  5. Select the checkboxes next to the scopes you want to assign to the selected control or controls.

    • A square in the checkbox indicates that some of the selected controls already have that particular scope assigned.

    • Clearing a checkbox next to a scope removes the scope from all selected controls.

    • Clearing and then selecting a checkbox assigns that scope to all selected controls.

    • If a checkbox is left as is, no changes are made to scopes assigned to the selected controls.

  6. Click Save.

    The selected controls are updated.
