- Structured column framework for accountability: Each audit entry includes six essential data fields that create a complete audit trail, including Action Item for describing the finding or task, Responsible to assign ownership, Due Date for timeline management, Priority to rank urgency, Status to track completion stages, and Notes for additional documentation or corrective action details.
- Interactive checkbox status tracking: The Status column features checkboxes for each audit item, allowing you to quickly mark tasks as complete with a simple click, providing instant visual feedback on audit progress and making it easy to identify outstanding action items at a glance during reviews or follow-up meetings.
