Manual evidence

Manual evidence includes the responses, files, and artifacts that practitioners provide during governance review. Policies define which inputs are required at each stage, and practitioners complete them as bundles progress through approval.

Input types

Policies can include various input types to collect evidence from practitioners:

  • Text inputs collect short, freeform responses

  • Text areas capture longer, multi-line responses

  • Radio buttons present single-select options

  • Checkboxes allow multiple selections

  • Dropdowns provide single-select lists

  • Multi-select dropdowns allow multiple selections from a list

  • Date inputs capture dates in a specified format

  • Numeric inputs collect numbers within defined ranges

  • File uploads attach supporting documents as evidence

Governance administrators define these inputs when configuring policies. Governance policy components has YAML configuration details for defining policies.
