TABLE OF CONTENTS


Findings


  • How to Route Findings


Findings are routed based on a hierarchal system of responsibility. When a finding is identified in an assessment, the system will first look at the Responsible Party settings configured at the question level, before looking to see if a Responsible Party has been assigned to the document. If no settings have been configured at the question or document level, the system will look at the Org Tree to see if a location manager has been assigned at the location level.
