In Lucanet ESG Reporting, the users that have been assigned as reviewers to an ESG report can start reviewing data as soon as data have been collected.

The type of access to the ESG report in Lucanet ESG Reporting depends on your user role and whether you have been assigned as an editor and/or a reviewer. A status message at the top of the data collection page indicates the type of access:

If you, as an ESG Administrator, have been assigned as a reviewer and/or an editor to certain parts of the questionnaire, one of the following status messages will be displayed:

Status messageDescription
Read-onlyThe user is exclusively assigned as a reviewer and has read access to the whole questionnaire.
Partially editableThe user is partially assigned as a reviewer and partially assigned as an editor, i.e. they can only edit the parts of the questionnaire to which they have been assigned as editor, but have read access to the rest.

After the questionnaire has been configured, the ESG Administrator can assign you as an ESG Data Collector to certain parts of the questionnaire as editor/and or reviewer (see Assigning Users as Editors or Reviewers). For this reason, you may not see the whole questionnaire, but only parts of it. A status message at the top of the data collection page indicates the type of access:

Status messageDescription
Read-onlyThe user is exclusively assigned as a reviewer to a part of the questionnaire and only has read access to the part that they have been assigned to.
Partially editableThe user is partially assigned as a reviewer and partially assigned as an editor. The user only has read access to the parts for which they are assigned as reviewer and has write access to the part that they have to edit.

Before you can review a question in Lucanet ESG Reporting, the ESG Data Collector must have activated the Mark as completed check box for the question.

Note: If the ESG Data Collector deactivates the Mark as completed check box after you have started the review, the question is no longer available for review until the ESG Data Collector marks it as completed again.

In Lucanet ESG Reporting, as soon as an answer has been provided for a standard, section, disclosure requirement, or question, and the data collector has marked the question as completed, you can review the data. To mark the element as reviewed, activate the Reviewed check box at the top right side of the element:

If necessary, deactivate the check box to revoke the review.

Note: The ESG Administrator may have added additional guidance to support data collection, e.g. company-specific instructions, examples, or internal references. The Additional guidance icon icon indicates that additional guidance has been added for a question.

When the ESG Administrator adds, changes, or deletes additional guidance for a question, the status of that question is reset for the assigned reporting entities — including questions that have not yet been answered. Resetting the question status after guidance changes ensures that:

  • unanswered questions are presented with the updated guidance from the start, and
  • previously answered questions need to be edited and reviewed again so that the answer can be reconfirmed against the updated guidance.

Note: Formula-based KPIs are visible in the review context as well, but they are not reviewed separately. A KPI is calculated from the answers it refers to and stays read-only; it has no review action of its own (see Adding Formula-Based KPIs).
