Objective Notes Management

The Objective Notes Management page in ASCERA CMMC is designed to help you efficiently manage notes related to all objectives across various controls. This page centralizes your note-taking process, enabling you to add, edit, and delete notes from a single location. Additionally, it provides information about the automation status of each objective and the state of saved searches.

The Objective Notes Management page displays information in a table format with the following headers:

  • Control Group: This column displays the domain or family in CMMC to which the control belongs.

  • Control: Specifies the control to which the objective is related.

  • Objective: Lists the objectives for which notes can be managed.

  • Automation: Indicates the automation status of the objective:

    • ACE: Automated Collection of Evidence
    • CCM: Continuous Control Monitoring
    • ADMIN: Administrative (not automated)
    • TECHNICAL: The control is not automated but it is not fully administrative.

  • State: Shows the state of the saved search used to monitor the objective status (specific to CCM).

    • Tooltip: Hovering over the state reveals a tooltip with the name of the saved search.

  • Notes: Displays the notes for each objective. This column is empty if no notes are added.
