For the audit to show on the Audit Planning screen, the audit must have the following assigned:

  • A location.

  • A schedule with a Minimum Expected Frequency

  • At least one role assigned to it.

If any of these elements are missing, the audit will not be visible in the audit planning screen. Use the checklist below to resolve this.

Locations

Check if the audit has been assigned to the location and update it if needed.

  1. Click Admin.

  2. Under Audits, click Manage Audits.

  3. Click the Select Folder drop-down and click the folder name of the audit.

  4. Next to the audit, click Assign Home. A table will appear to check for homes assigned to the audit.

Assign a location
