How an Initiated Audit Works

When a district or site level audit is initialized, each asset is recorded as being “missing” in the room it was located at the time of audit initialization. To conduct the audit, each site then opens a room in the audit, scans all tags found in that room, moves to the next room, and so forth, until all rooms in the audit have been scanned.

Tags that are scanned during the audit will be “Verified,” “Found,” or “Misplaced” depending on where they were scanned. Tags that are included in the audit, but not scanned, will remain as “Missing” until the reconciliation process is complete. Other activity that may take place during an audit includes recording an Asset Condition, adding new assets via Room Initialization, and defining new products in the Catalog.

Conduct an Audit

Audits in the status of "New" or "In Progress" will be listed in the    Audits grid at each Site and in the Administrative View. The purpose of an audit is to verify that assets are being recorded in the correct location and to locate lost or stolen assets. Audits will also identify assets that for some reason have not yet been added to your Asset Management database. Once an audit has been initialized, the Site users will conduct the audit.

1. Click   Audits in the top navigation bar and select View Site Audits from the dropdown.

This selection opens the District Initiated Audits page.

2. Reference the  Filters section at the top of the page, as needed, to define results by Audit Name, Site, Created Date, etc., or locate the audit in question directly from the Audit grid.
