How to Assign Actions to Questions?

- Scroll down to the 'Checklist' section
- Double-click on the checklist

- The 'Create/Edit Checklist' window will open
- Select the question you want to assign an auditor action to, and click 'Edit' (Note: Adding auditor actions with group-editing/multiple questions at the same time; will NOT work, actions must be assigned to questions individually, however, you can add pre-defined responses with group-editing.)
- The 'New/Edit Question' window will open
- Go to the 'Auditor Actions' section and click
to add a completely new auditor action or
to add auditor action from a previously set up list of actions (Note: If a brand new auditor action was assigned to a specific question, it won't show up on the 'Auditor Action Bank' window with the rest of the actions, as it is only unique to that specific question.)
Note: In the 'New/Edit Question' window, users can also set up predefined responses to questions. For more information on how to do this see the 'related links' section or click here.
