# Control Register

> View, search, and manage all controls in one place.

## Overview

The Control Register is the master list of every control in your organisation. Use it to find specific controls, review their status, and navigate to individual control records for editing.

From the sidebar, expand **Controls Register** and click **Register**.

## How to use it

### Searching and filtering

* **Search box** — type any keyword to search across all control fields
* **Column filters** — use the filter row beneath the column headers to narrow by Title, Type, Manager, Owner, RAYG rating, or Entity
* **Dropdown filters** — the dropdowns above the table let you filter by Business Unit, Team, and Entity before the table loads

### Understanding the columns

| Column      | What it shows                                                |
| ----------- | ------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Title**   | The control name — click it to open the full Control Card    |
| **Type**    | The control type (e.g., Preventative, Detective, Corrective) |
| **Manager** | The person responsible for overseeing this control           |
| **Owner**   | The person who performs the control                          |
| **RAYG**    | The Red/Amber/Yellow/Green status rating                     |
| **Keys**    | Key risk indicators linked to this control                   |
| **Entity**  | The legal entity this control belongs to                     |

### Action buttons

The icons in the top-right corner of the register give you quick access to:

* **Add new control** (green plus icon) — creates a new control record
* **Export** (download icon) — export the current view to a spreadsheet
* **Print** — generate a printable version of the register

### Pagination

Use the **Previous** / **Next** buttons and the rows-per-page dropdown (10, 25, 50, 100) to navigate through large lists.

## Tips & Tricks

<Tip>
  Combine column filters with the global search for precise results. For example, filter by Entity first, then search for a keyword in the control title.

<Tip>
  Click any column header to sort the register by that field. Click again to reverse the sort order.

<Tip>
  If you need to review all overdue controls, it may be quicker to use the [Controls Dashboard](/controls/dashboard) and click the **Overdue** tile — it pre-filters for you.
