"Site Audits" initiated at the administrative level allow for audits of "Site(s)," "Product Type(s)," "Room Type(s)," "Staff Type(s)," and "Grade(s)." These audits provide site-level users the ability to quickly identify missing/misplaced tags and at an expected/unexpected location.
Tags can only be included in one audit at a time. Until a tag has been verified or reconciled, it cannot be included in a new administrative- or site-created site audit. With this in mind, it is best practice to complete any audit that is started so that unfinished audits do not cause issues in the future.

Initiate Site Audit
- Click on Initiate Site Audit, located under "Admin Tools Quick Links" menu. The “Initiate Site Audit” window opens.
- Enter a unique name for the site audit within the Audit Name field.
- Select the location type (Room, Staff, or Student) in the "Audit For" drop-down menu. This selection will dictate which options appear in the remainder of the form.
- (Optional) Select the Audit Due Date using the
calendar popup tool. Once set, the Audit Due Date cannot be changed and site users will be unable to scan tags to the audit after the due date.
- Select Restrict Site Access to restrict site-level users from editing an audit, without affecting their ability to record tag information. This option will restrict site-level users from marking a location as “Scan Complete,” deleting an audit, or removing items from an audit.
- Select Site(s), Product Type(s), Room Type(s), Staff Type(s), and Grade(s), if required.
- To ignore tags modified after a specific date, select the respective date using the
calendar tool in the Ignore Tags Modified After field. Setting the Verify Tags Modified After date will set all tags in the selected status whose scan date is after the date to a “verified” condition on the audit.
- Select E-Mail Staff to Audit Homerooms to e-mail staff members a notification to perform an audit of items assigned to their homeroom. The E-Mail Staff to Audit Homerooms option is only available if Audit For: Room is selected.
- Select E-Mail Staff to Audit Inventory to e-mail staff members a notification to perform an audit of items assigned to them.
- When E-Mail Staff to Audit Homerooms and/or E-Mail Staff to Audit Inventory is selected, active staff who have valid email addresses within the application will receive an e-mail that allows the staff member to run and finalize the audit for items issued to them and/or their homeroom. Staff members will receive an email with a link to their current audit. Staff members do not need to have permissions within the application to access their "Audit Page" and will be unable to access additional locations within Asset Management.
- Click on
GO. After the site audit is created, the "Initiate Site Audit" window closes and displays the "View Site Audits" grid. This grid is sorted by "Created Date," displaying the most recently created audit at the top of the grid.
If one or more tags currently exist on another district-created site audit or site-created room audit, and are in the state of "Missing" or "Misplaced," those tags must be reconciled before a new administrative-created site audit can be created that includes those tags. Also, if any of the tags are located on a transfer, they must be received before an administrative-created site audit can be created that includes those tags.
If this occurs, Asset Management identifies the tag(s) blocking the creation of a new administrative-created site audit. The "Audit Error Report" is available in CSV file format on the notification window to open and/or print.
