- Click on "Manage & Audit".
- The Dashboard shows open Non-Conformities requiring a response. If there are no Non-conformities shown, the auditor has not requested a response yet.
Common Problems
Very common inquiry is that NCR's are not editable due to the step of the auditor not yet requesting a response. An NCR with a box that is not editable is a stage for another action to be completed by another party. When the NCR enters a response requested is when data may be entered.
- Click on a Non-Conformity to do the follow-up.
NOTES
NCRs requiring a response can also be accessed on "Non-Conformities (Workflow)" Tab.
Overdue NCRs are shown in red.
You may view NCRs in the audit itself but only those that you can respond to will appear in the dashboard or workflow tab.
Written NCRs cannot be answered until the auditor moves them from Nonconformity created to the stage response requested.
NCRs viewed in the Audit cannot be answered and may or may not be ready for a response:
