How do I schedule an Audit / Inspection?

This article includes a video and written guide for scheduling audits.

Firstly, you will need to login to your Notify account, you can do this here

You will then be taken to the main 'Schedules' dashboard. Here you have an overview of all your schedules which are currently active. 

Tip: Use the Status filters to find Active, Scheduled and Archived schedules.

 

3. Complete the General Details section

Here, you will need to give your schedule a name and choose the form template for the audit you will be scheduling. 

Optionally include email addresses of users that you wish to receive update notifications via email on the progress of the scheduled audits. 

Note: Form Templates must be published in order to be scheduled.

You can select between:

  • Daily
  • Weekly
  • Monthly
  • Every Weekday
  • Every x weeks
  • Every x months

5. Optionally set a due date for the scheduled audits

If an audit is not completed within the time frame specified, the audit status will appear as Overdue. 

If you have selected the option to Auto Update to Missed, the audit status will be changed to missed. 

In both cases, audits will still be able to be completed and the status will update to reflect this.
