How will new users know if they have entered into the organization?

  • Whenever a new user is added to a site, EASE automatically sends them an email prompting them to create their password and set up their account. 


Why can't I schedule documents?

  • Is the document unavailable in the scheduler?
    • The document may not be published, verify that the document status is "Active" under Manage > Documents.
    • If the document is published and currently active, the scope of the document may not include the desired location. Open the document and verify the scope in the Settings tab.
  • Can you proceed through the scheduler with the document, but receive an error after clicking Save?
    • There is likely a scope mismatch between the document and users. Verify that there is overlap between these.


Why aren't there any X-axis labels on my reports?
  • Many of the reports pull data from the "Title" fields in questions and documents, if these are left blank or are not unique the x-axis labels will not be useful.

Why isn't the site selector available?
  • The site selector is not available on all pages, ensure that the current page supports the site selector.

How do I utilize and view reports on multiple audit types?
  • Various audit types can be enabled under Admin > System Options > Org Settings. Once enabled they can be selected during document creation.
  • Reports for each audit type can be displayed on the reports page by selecting it from the category drop-down in the chart filters.

How do I download the EASE app?
  • The EASE Audits app can be found in the Apple Store for iOS devices and in the Play Store for all Android devices as 'EASE Audits'. The app is free for our users to download and use to conduct audits.

How do I perform offline audits?
  • You must have a connection to start an audit, however, if the connection is lost once the audit has begun, progress will be saved locally until a connection is reestablished.

Why am I getting errors when I try to import?
  • Ensure that the import template has not been altered from its base format. Do not remove any columns as this will cause the import to fail. If you have deleted columns, download a fresh template and retry your import.
  • There may be excess spaces or incorrect casing on some of the required fields, verify that the information conforms with the expected input for questions or users.
  • There may be duplicate tags in the system, verify that all tags are unique under Manage > Tags.

If I delete locations, will I lose my audits?
