How to Use and Review Comments in OneTrust

For most questionnaires, you cannot submit the assessment until every question is answered.

Any question with an * requires an answer.

Using the Justification box

There may be times when you must explain in more detail your answer, especially when the only options are Yes and No. Use the Justification box to give any details necessary but remember to give an answer to the question.

Clicking on that icon will list the question on the assessment that have comments, so you do not have to scroll through an entire assessment searching for those with comments.
