You can quickly cancel audits that were started by mistake, fall outside the intended scope, or are no longer required—both from the mobile app and the web platform. Canceled audits are stored in the system along with their cancellation reason. This ensures transparency and makes cross-team tracking easier.

What This Feature Provides

Canceling an in-progress audit is not just stopping the process. It also:

  • Ensures mistakes such as selecting the wrong checklist are properly recorded

  • Helps reflect scheduling or timing changes in the audit workflow

  • Cleans up audits that would otherwise remain unnecessarily open

  • Allows managers to easily track cancellation reasons

  • Strengthens transparency and accountability within the team

  • Ensures accurate data flow for reporting

How to Cancel an Audit in the Mobile App

  1. Go to the Audits screen: Find the audit with the “In Progress” status.

  2. Open the three-dot menu: Select “Cancel Audit” from the list.

  3. The cancellation screen opens:

    You will see:

    • Audit name

    • Start date

    • Status

    • A field where you can enter the cancellation reason

  4. Enter the cancellation reason: Once you type your explanation, the “Cancel” button becomes active.

  5. Confirm: When you tap the button, the audit switches to the “Canceled” status and you are redirected back to the Audits screen.

How to Cancel an Audit on the Web Platform

  1. Go to the Results screen: All in-progress audits are listed here.

  2. Click the three-dot menu: Open the menu on the row of the audit you want to cancel and select “Cancel”.

  3. Select the cancellation reason:

    A window appears listing the available cancellation reasons:

    • Wrong checklist selected

    • Scheduling or timing issue

    • Wrong audit scope

    • Audit no longer needed

    • Technical issue / system error

    • Other

  4. Add details: You must enter a short explanation.

  5. Confirm: Once the cancellation is completed, the audit’s status automatically updates to “Canceled.”

Where to View the Cancellation Reason

On the web platform, when you hover over the “Canceled” status badge in the Results screen:

  • The detailed explanation you wrote

appear in an information tooltip. This allows managers to quickly understand the reasons behind cancellations and review processes more efficiently.

When Should an Audit Be Canceled?

Cancel the audit when:

  • The wrong checklist was selected

  • The wrong location was selected

  • The facility is closed or inaccessible

  • Scheduling has changed

  • The same audit was started twice

  • The audit scope has changed

Do not cancel the audit when:

  • You intend to continue the audit later

  • The audit is almost completed

  • You want to avoid documenting failed items

  • Minor notes allow you to proceed without canceling
