Phases

Introduction

The phase is one of the main collaboration areas within Canopy. From here, users can work on findings, add assets, import tool data and share other information during delivery.

Access control

Access control is inherited from the project.

Phase level access controls are currently being investigated. If this feature is important for you and your team, please contact us at support@checksec.com 

The phase list

The phase list is available under the project view:

Adding a phase

Adding a phase can be carried out by a user with admin access to a project. A phase can be added during project creation and also from the project view, via the "+ PHASE" button. When creating a phase, a unique title, reference and start / end / report due dates are required.

It is also possible to create a phase re-test by selecting a previous phase from the list of phases within the project.

The phase view

The phase view provides background information about a phases scope and also access to key items such as findings, assets and methodologies. The phase view is also where tool results, screenshots and other data relating to the phase is uploaded.

Editing a phase

To edit a phase:

  1. Access the phase view.
  2. Click on the edit icon.
  3. Update and save.

Deleting a phase

Phase deletion should only occur when the data is no longer required or when an error has been made. To delete a phase:

  1. Access the phase view or select the phases on the project view.
  2. Click the phase delete button.

The warning highlights the destructive nature of phase deletion. This process cannot be undone.
