# View and Manage Criteria
Criteria are the individual compliance requirements that make up a framework. Managing these criteria ensures your organisation’s controls are mapped correctly and that compliance tracking is accurate. Sprinto allows you to search, filter, update scope, and view details for each criterion within a framework.
### View Criteria in a Framework
1. Log in to the Sprinto Dashboard and navigate to **Compliance > Frameworks**.
2. In the **Enabled** tab, click the framework you want to view.
3. **Review the criteria list**
* The criteria table displays:
* **Criteria Code and Name** – Identifies the requirement.
* **Scope** – Indicates if it’s *In scope* or *Not in scope*.
* **Mapped Controls** – Shows the number of controls linked.
* **Readiness** – Displays completion percentage.
***
### Search and Filter Criteria
* **Search** – Enter a keyword or criteria code in the search bar to find specific items.
* **Filter by Category** – Narrow results to categories such as *Security*, *Privacy*, or *Risk Management*.
* **Filter by Scope** – Show only *In scope* or *Not in scope* criteria.
***
### Manage a Criteria
1. Click the criteria name in the list to open its details panel.
2. Click **Edit** where you can edit the Criterion description.
1. **Update scope**
* Click **Mark out of scope.**
* Give a description for marking this criteria not in scope and click **Got it, mark not in scope**.
1. **View mapped controls**
* See all controls linked to the criterion, including their type (automated or workflow) and monitoring status.
### Map Controls to Criteria
1. Navigate to **Compliance** from the left navigation panel.
2. Open the required **Framework**.
3. On the **Framework details** page, locate the desired criterion and select it.
4. In the **Criteria details** panel, click **Map controls** next to **Mapped to X controls**.
5. In the **Map controls** window:
* Use the search bar to find the control by name or filter by **Domain**.
* Select the checkbox next to the control(s) you want to map.
6. Click **Save mapping** to save your changes.
The selected controls are now associated with the chosen criterion.
### Unmap Controls from Criteria
1. Navigate to the relevant **Framework** and select the criterion you want to update.
2. In the **Criteria details** panel, click **Manage** next to **Mapped to X controls**.
3. In the **Map controls** window:
* Uncheck the box for any control you want to unmap.
4. Click **Map selected controls** to confirm.
The control(s) will no longer be associated with the criterion.

* Updating scope impacts your readiness calculation for the framework.
* Controls mapped to multiple frameworks remain active even if removed from one framework.
