In which audit statuses is it possible to add and close findings?
At Scilife, we value flexibility. If you go into the module settings, you'll see in the General tab, at the bottom, there's an option for admin users to configure the permissible statuses for finding management. Only admin users can do this.
The default statuses, which appear with a lock, are “In Progress” and “Audit Performed.” These are always the statuses where you can add and close a finding.
How can you plan the upcoming internal audits for all departments?
This depends on your organization’s internal process, but here are our suggestions:
- Create the internal audit in advance using the Audits tool. While the audit is in ‘Draft’ status, add a tentative planned date based on your process.
- Once the planned date is confirmed with the relevant department, move the audit to ‘Planned’ status. All stakeholders will then see the planned audit on their dashboards. If needed, the planned date can still be modified.
Is it possible to share the responsibility of mitigating the findings with more members of the team?
Yes, in Scilife, while the audit is in ‘In Progress’ status, you can add findings and assign a Responsible User for each one, allowing you to share responsibility within your team. The mitigation plan in the CAPA linked to the audit can also be shared, as Custom CAPA Actions can be assigned to different Responsible People. Additionally, Update Document Actions will automatically be assigned to users with roles in the selected document.
