Starting your first audit in Audit Now is easy and takes just a few minutes. You can launch an audit instantly or begin from a scheduled task—whichever suits your workflow.

Two Ways to Start an Audit

1. Start an Instant Audit

Use this when you want to run an audit right away.

  • Tap Start Audit in the mobile app.

  • Select a checklist from your list (you must have “Conduct Audit” access).

  • Choose the site or location (if enabled), and begin.

2. Start a Scheduled Audit Task

Ideal when your audits are pre-assigned.

  • From the mobile dashboard, tap on the scheduled task.

  • The checklist and location details are preloaded—just begin the audit.

Complete the Audit Step-by-Step

  1. Answer each item

    • Select the appropriate response (e.g., Yes/No, Pass/Fail, Score).

    • Not sure which option to choose?

    • If an item is failed or marked negatively, add a note to explain the situation or suggest a next step.

  2. Add photos or notes (optional)

    • Use notes to describe findings or propose corrective ideas.

    • Attach photos to document conditions visually.

  3. Navigate between sections

    • Swipe or tap headers to jump between checklist sections.

  4. Review and complete

    • Once all sections are filled out, tap Complete Audit.

    • You’ll see a report summary screen.

Report Distribution (Who gets the results?)

After completing the audit:

  • A report is generated instantly.

  • Recipients are auto-selected based on the checklist’s Report Distribution settings (e.g., Region Managers or custom roles).

What happens next?

  • Your results appear in Reports and Analytics dashboards.

  • Failed answers are clearly highlighted for quick review.

  • Notes entered during the audit are visible in the report for full context.
