How to edit a pre-existing master audit

You can make changes in a pre-existing master audit, as well as individual sub-audits. Editable fields in a master audit include the following:

  • Audit Name

  • Reference Number

  • Description

  • Category

  • Location

  • Responsible Person

  • Automatic Close

  • Start Date and End Date

  • Repeat Frequency

  • Reminders

  • Audit Form Template

  • Other Settings

The sub-audit(s) will contain setup information from the master audit. Changes in the master audit will be reflected in the sub-audit(s). Existing sub-audits can also be edited but changes are limited to the “Responsible Person”, “Comments” and “Attached Documents” sections.

Please note: Changes to the “Start Date” and “End Date” and the “Repeat Frequency” can affect the scheduling of the sub-audits and the sub-audit number(s) may change.

 

To make changes to a master audit, please follow the instructions outlined below.
