Create, Send and Link an Issue & Statement¶
Tip
Issues & Statements are used to store questions received from clients. The questions can be linked to various records in Active Steward.
It is a standardised way of responding to a raised issue. The response includes a statement, basis, review date and supporting evidence (if required).
Issues & Statements can be displayed on campaign pages, where users can review them. They can also be sent out to contacts via email, or multiple issues can be sent at once using an "Issue Statement(s) Report".
I & S's can send out notification reminders 30 days before the "Statement Review Date" to help keep track of issues. Users that will receive this are ones who have enabled notifications for that I&S record - see step 8 for more detail.
