Site Audits
Field tier and aboveIn the app: /audits
Site Audits are scored walk-around inspections with a checklist, findings and photos. Every failed item can become a corrective action with an owner and a due date, which is what makes the audit worth the walk.
1.Run an audit
- Open Site Audits and press + New Audit.
- Enter a title, the job site, the auditor and the date, and choose a checklist: the Built-In General Checklist or one of your own templates.
- Mark each item Pass, Fail or leave it as not applicable. For a failed item, set the severity (Medium, High or Critical), write the finding notes and attach a photo.
- Add extra checklist items if you find something the list did not cover.
- Save. We score the audit as the share of scored items that passed; items marked not applicable are left out of the calculation.
2.Turn findings into corrective actions
- Open the audit. Each failed item is listed as a finding.
- Press + Corrective Action on the finding and give it an owner, a due date and a priority.
- A finding with a corrective action attached cannot be removed from the audit until the action is closed or deleted.
3.Close and share it
- Press Close audit when it is complete. A closed audit is read-only; an admin can reopen it from the list if it needs to change.
- Press Export PDF for a report with your company name and logo on it.
4.Build your own checklist template (admin)
- Open Site Audits and press Templates, then New template.
- Give it a name, a description and a category, and add the questions one by one.
- Save. It appears in the checklist list on every new audit. We never change audits already done with a template when the template is edited later.
- Users can view templates but not change them.
5.Put an audit on a recurring schedule (admin)
- At the top of Site Audits, under Recurring Audits, pick a template and a job site, choose how often (daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly or annual) and optionally a responsible person, then press Add to Schedule.
- We calculate the next due date from the last completed audit with that template at that site. A template never audited at a site shows as Never audited, which counts as due now.
- When a row says Due Soon or Overdue, press Start Audit on it. The new-audit form opens with the template and site already chosen.
- Overdue and due-soon audits appear in the Needs Attention card, the notification bell and the Monday reminder email. The responsible person gets their own email listing what is theirs; admins get the whole company.
- Press Remove to take a template off a site's schedule. Past audits are kept.
Common questions
- Where does the audit pass rate come from?
- The dashboard and Statistics show the share of scored items that passed across your audits. Not-applicable items are excluded, so an audit of three items with one pass and two not applicable scores 100.
- Can I attach more than one photo to a finding?
- One photo per checklist item. Add another item if you need a second photo.
- How does the schedule know an audit was done?
- By the template name and the job site on the audit. Choose the template from the list when you run it, and pick the job site the schedule names; an audit with a retyped title or a different site spelling will not count against the schedule.
- Is there a CSV export of audits?
- Yes. An admin can press Export CSV on the audits page for one row per checklist item, with the audit's score on each row. A single audit exports to PDF, and every audit is in the full account export in Company Settings.
