Compliance Case – Review

The Review section of the Compliance Case module is used to review project documents. It supports both structured compliance-based document checks and unstructured review comments.

The Review section is independent from the Compliance execution section. While Compliance focuses on answering and verifying checklist items, Review focuses on assessing documents and recording review feedback.

Purpose of the Review Section

The Review section is used to:

• Review project documents in a structured and traceable way.
• Apply Compliance Sets to documents for checklist-based review.
• Record review comments directly against a document.
• Support formal document review and approval processes.

Review Subsections

The Review section consists of two distinct subsections:

• Compliance
• Review

Each subsection serves a different purpose and is described below.

Compliance (Is a document compliant?)

The Compliance subsection is used to apply a Compliance Set to a document. It enables checklist-based verification of document compliance.

Only Compliance Sets that have been assigned to Review in the Library are available in this subsection.

In this subsection:

• A document is selected for review.
• A Compliance Set is applied to the document.
• Each compliance item is reviewed against the document content.
• Responses, comments, and evidence references are recorded.

This approach ensures that document reviews are consistent, repeatable, and auditable.

Review (Any comments about the document?)

The Review subsection is used to record review comments directly on a document. It is not checklist-based and focuses on qualitative feedback.

In this subsection:

• A document is selected for review.
• Review comments are added by reviewers.
• Comments may relate to content, structure, clarity, or completeness.

This subsection is typically used for general document review, editorial feedback, or high-level assessment that does not require a compliance checklist.

Roles and Review Activities

Review activities may involve different roles depending on project configuration. Typical roles include:

• Reviewer – provides comments or checklist-based feedback.
• Verifier – checks that review comments or compliance responses are addressed.
• Approver – provides final approval, if required.

Roles, permissions, and approval logic are defined in the Compliance Case settings of the project.

Traceability and Documentation

All review activities are recorded and traceable, including:

• Applied Compliance Sets.
• Responses and review comments.
• Reviewer identities.
• Timestamps and status changes.

This traceability supports formal reviews, audits, and project documentation requirements.

Relationship to Other Sections

The Review section complements other parts of the Compliance Case module:

• The Library controls which Compliance Sets are available for review.
• The Compliance section focuses on project-level compliance execution.

Together, these sections provide a complete framework for compliance execution and document review.
