Before we move on to creating audits or inspections, we would have to understand the common classification we have for questions, protocols & audits. This classification is Corporate and Site

Corporate : When an entity is supposed to be used across whole organization , then it needs to be classified as Corporate type.

Site : When an entity is supposed to be used in specific facilities of an organization , then it needs to be classified as Site type.

E.g. ISO Audit questions apply to all locations, so we mark it as “Corporate” type but Forklift audit question does not apply to corporate offices, as it is specific to few types of facilities. So we classify it as “Site”.

Now we can move on to the two major steps whose outcome would be used to create audits/inspection. These are

  1. Uploading Questions

  2. Grouping these questions in Protocol

These steps can only be performed specific users (Admins)

Uploading Questions

  1. Once logged in, click on the “Modules > Audit Management > Manage Audit Questions”
