Granting a User Permission to Create an Audit Conformance Report

A user, other than the System Wide Admin, can be given permission to access and create Audit Conformance Reports. This is set up in the Permission Sets area of the system:

Administration > People & Security > Permission Sets

When you have set the appropriate permissions, you can give a group of users access to this feature by navigating to: Administration > People & Security > Groups.

Open the Group you wish to grant permission to and navigate to the Security tab. Click the 'Audits' section and then find the sub-section labelled 'Audit Conformance Report Access'. Click the   button and choose the Permission Set you would like associated. Add this Rule.

Your users will now have access to Audit Conformance Reports.

Setting an Audit to be Reported On

Create a new Audit and make sure that it has an Audit Checklist as part of the Audit Notes tab. Within the question you would like to make conforming upon, find the Area of Standard section. Add the Area of Standard you wish to conform to using the   button.

Note: For the Audit Conformance to be reported on, the workflow must have passed the Performed stage on the record.
