Assigning Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) to Assess IROs
[Double Materiality module]
The Double Materiality module now includes an IRO collaboration feature that lets you assign Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) either to all IROs linked to a Datamaran topic or to specific IROs. This ensures the right people are involved in reviewing and assessing your IROs.
Tip: Before assigning SMEs, make sure the IROs are finalized and ready for assessment.
