  1. Open a product and go to the Audits tab.

  2. Click New audit.

Completing an audit

Linking issues to an audit

Section titled “Linking issues to an audit”

When creating an issue, you can link it to a specific audit in the Audit field. This records that the issue was discovered during that audit. You can also view all issues linked to an audit from the audit’s Issues tab.

Audit schedule

The Audits dashboard shows a future audit schedule based on each product’s configured audit frequency. Products that are overdue for an audit are highlighted.

The next audit date is calculated from the most recent completed audit’s completion date plus the configured frequency interval.
