When to use it
When to use it, and when not to
This register is one step in a larger programme. Using it for work that belongs to a neighbouring template produces records that are hard to report on later.
Use it for
- The event or activity this register covers has occurred, or is about to
- A new record is needed; each one gets its own ID in the form IP-2026-000
- You are running the Management System Governance programme and this is one of its steps
- A linked record needs this one to exist: feeds context review, legal register
Not for
- Site and Location Register, which holds every site, building, area and zone your organisation operates.
- Asset Register, which holds every piece of equipment, machine, vehicle and tool you track.
- Worker Profile, which holds a record for each worker, including role, department, site and start date.
- Anything outside General, which belongs in the workspace that owns that process
