Adding Recommended Issues & Actions When Viewing Results of QBA's
Select Audits & Assessments from the left panel.
Select the Completed Tab.
The Completed tab shows all completed audits & assessments. Select Results of the desired audit or assessment.
In the right panel under Issues & Actions, issue recommendations will appear.
Click the arrow next to the + to view all currently linked issues as well as recommended issues that can be linked. A link that is highlighted in purple indicates the issue has been linked.
A recommended issue may already exist in the issue register. Therefore users can choose to create a new version of this issue on the issue register or link the question response to the issue that already exists in the issue register. When you click to link the recommended issue and a version of this recommended issue already exists on the issue register, they will be asked to compare the recommended issue and the issue that exists on the issue register.
The user can then view the recommended issue with the issue that already exists on the issue register, and select whether they want to create a new version of the recommended issue (1), or link the question response to the existing issue on the issue register (2).
Once the choice has been made the issue will appear under Linked Issues.
