Scheduling an audit: the four-step wizard

How to create a scheduled audit record.

Written by Caim Hermoso

Who this is for: Needs Schedule Audits.

Start from Create New → Audits → Audit Record, or from ⋮ → Schedule Audit on a template row in My Audit Templates (the template is then chosen for you).

Step 1 — Audit Type. Choose Scheduled Audit to plan it in advance, or Ad Hoc Audit to start it now.

Step 2 — Find Template. Search Audit Templates (the library) or My Audit Templates, filter by regulation, and select a template. If nothing fits, the link at the bottom lets you request one.

Step 3 — Audit Details.

Field

Required

Notes

Audit Title

Yes

Pre-filled from the template name; editable

Reference No.

No

Generated automatically if left blank

Audit Owner

Yes

Defaults to you

Auditor

Yes

Only people who can conduct audits are listed — see 5.3

Location / Site

Yes

Defaults to the template’s location

Scope / Description

No

Pre-filled from the template description

Step 4 — Schedule. Set the Scheduled Date and, optionally, the Scheduled Time, then select Confirm & Save. A confirmation screen shows the details before the audit is saved — see 5.4.

One auditor is chosen when you schedule. To add more auditors, use Reassign Audit on the audit afterwards — see 5.7.

If this doesn’t work

  • Required fields highlighted red — complete them before continuing.

  • Wrong template — use Change on the Audit Details step, or Back.

  • No Schedule Audit option anywhere — you do not have Schedule Audits. See 1.6.
