Conducting an audit requires you to rate the conditions of each checklist item. You may also place comments and media files to support your ratings and enter work orders for more serious infractions. While conducting an audit, you may:
- View the number of checklist items to audit for each checklist
- Rate checklist items using the assigned rating systems
- Add comments, photos, and videos to support your rating
- Enter work orders to repair or replace assets, when warranted
- Enter the quantity or the dollar amount of the items audited
- View checklist item ratings from previous audits
- Send site audit results to the specified email addresses when the audit is completed
Once you have conducted your audit, you must upload the audit data. Upon upload, all ratings, comments, work orders, and quantities are sent to Site Planning Manager - Reports in Service Automation for reporting purposes.
Starting a new audit before completing the current audit will delete all data from the current audit, even when you are auditing separate locations. Be sure to complete and upload your current audit before starting a new one.

Uploading an Audit
When uploading an audit, all ratings, attachments, comments, work orders, and quantities are sent to Site Planning Manager - Reports in Service Automation for reporting purposes. You can only upload an audit once all checklist items are rated. You will see a warning when you attempt to upload an incomplete audit.
There are two ways to upload an audit:
- Open the SC Mobile app and tap Audits. The Open / In Progress section with the current audit appears. Tap Upload Audit to submit your audit data to Service Automation.
The Open / In Progress section appears only when there is an active, incomplete audit. This section disappears once an audit is uploaded. Also, a number listed next to the audit type indicates a number of unrated checklist items.
- Within an audit, tap Upload on either the Areas and Checklists page or the Checklist Items page.
On the Areas and Checklists page, any list that has a number next to it indicates the number of checklist items that are not rated. On the Checklist Items page, any item with 3 dots next to the item indicates an unrated item.
