Create and Manage Body of Evidence

This guide walks you through how to create a Body of Evidence (BoE) each Impact Level (IL) environment where you plan to deploy your application.

Create a BoE

  1. On the App Central page, select the Authorizations tab.

  2. Navigate to the Deployments panel and use the Body of Evidence dropdown to select a version. To start a new one, select Create New BOE. You can then choose to start from scratch or clone an existing version to prepopulate your data.

  3. Complete the required sections of the BoE using the guidance in Complete Body of Evidence.

    • For each section in the BoE, click Save Draft to save the progress you made on the form.
    • Click Save & Submit for Review to mark the form as complete. If validation passes, the form status updates to Complete. If not, you will see field-level guidance to finish remaining items.

Important

Each deployment maintains a history of BoEs created over time; however, only one BoE is used to obtain the Certificate to Field (CtF)/Software Approval.

Manage existing BoEs

To resume or edit a submission, select a version from the Body of Evidence dropdown. Completed sections are marked in green for easy tracking, and each section can be edited using the ✏️ (pencil) icon.

Best practice

Review and update your BoE monthly to reflect any changes in your application, especially as development progresses through the Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC).
