Locking audit questionnaires
Who is this article for?Users working with audits.
Audit access is needed.
In this guide, you will learn how to lock questionnaires and audit programs through a series of interactive steps. From creating new entries to managing audits, follow the precise instructions to successfully lock questionnaires and preserve data integrity.
Important Note: The auto closed audit option conflicts with the lock functionality, so keep in mind that you cannot keep both and you need to pick
one to be set as default. This is why this new enhancement is being introduced as a private configuration to switch between one option or the other. By default, this new lock feature will be released as off.
