Results Manager

You can use Results Manager to organize, track, and remediate issues identified by data analytics. You can upload data into Results Manager using ACL Add-in For Excel, ACL Analytics, or Analytics Exchange. You can send out risk assessment surveys, manage attribute testing, and create a workflow using triggers. You can also send out questionnaires to gather additional information, or create an interpretation to visualize your data.
