Each record contains Grouping and Grouping Value fields. For transaction
incidents, the contents of these fields vary as follows:
• If a transaction control uses a ilter to ind transactions with similar values for
a specified attribute, the Grouping field displays the word Similar and the
specified attribute, and the Grouping Value field displays the value of that
attribute for a given incident.
• If a transaction control uses a function to calculate a value for a speciied
attribute across a group of transactions, the Grouping field identifies the
calculation (count, sum, or average) and the specified attribute, and the
Grouping Value field displays the calculated value for a given incident.
• If a transaction control uses a pattern to create a baseline value, the Grouping
field displays the pattern type and the attribute upon which the pattern is
based, and the Grouping Value field displays the baseline value.
• Finally, each record provides an Incident Information value. For a
transaction incident, this is the value of the first attribute among those
selected (for the control that generated the incident) to characterize the
suspect transaction.
Monitoring controls
You can monitor controls in TCG by tracking incident status using summary graphs
and detail reports. By default, the Manage Incidents page shows only pending
incidents. You can, however, create views to display lists of incidents at any status.
In the listbox above the Status column, select the status for which you want to
generate a list of incidents. Then click on the View button. In order to restore the
list of pending incidents, click on the Clear View button and then click on the
View button.
A list of controls or incidents may have more entries than can be displayed at once.
If so, the list is divided into pages. Click on a right-pointing triangle to advance from
one page to the next, or a left-pointing triangle to move back one page at a time.
Click on an icon that looks like a triangle pointing rightward at a vertical line to
move to the last page, or a triangle pointing leftward at a vertical line to move to the
first page. In order to open incidents, set status, assign participants to incidents, or
add comments, you will need to select one or more controls or incidents. However,
you can select from only one page at a time. If you wish to select multiple controls
or incidents, you can define a view so that those of you who want to select appear
in one page.
Users can run summary and detail reports concerning TCG about transaction
controls and about the incidents they identify.
