You can perform various regulatory tasks in the Regulatory Change Management application in Compliance Workspace and receive granular information on the tasks and alerts using the data visualization widgets.

The Regulatory Change Management workflow and the Regulatory Change Management process flow provide information on the regulatory tasks that are performed by the Regulatory Change Management application users to comply with the regulatory changes. See the [Regulatory Change Management workflow](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/22wENC8X5SEx3U1kllTnRg "The Regulatory Change Management application provides a framework that your organization can use to integrate with third-party regulatory intelligence providers to keep up with the regulatory changes and external regulations.") and [Regulatory process flow and tasks](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/nxKNXbi_wHbt0Eq9toWXFQ "The Regulatory Change Management process flow includes the tasks that different users can perform to help your organization manage and comply with regulatory changes.") for more information.  
You can perform the following GRC: Regulatory Change Management configuration tasks in Compliance Workspace:

* Assign the regulatory event alert to a Coordinator. For more information, see [Assign a regulatory event alert to a coordinator](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/DkRV8X~L3mDe18quPRBa4A "Log in to the GRC: Regulatory Change Management application, review the regulatory event alert, update the details, and assign it to a coordinator.").
* Assess the impact of the regulatory event alert, complete the assessment, and manage the regulatory change tasks associated with the alert. For more information, see [Assess the impact of a regulatory event alert](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/tO3mq39jM_3VYQrNHY1oPw "Assess the impact of a regulatory event alert by creating an assessment on the regulatory event alert.
