Creating "Template" Audits
"Template" audits are work programs specially prepared to be applied to new audits.
This status is exclusively reserved for audits of an audit plan which is itself defined as a template. It applies automatically to existing audits of the template audit plan, and is proposed at creation of a new audit on this same audit plan.
Defining template audit plans
To define an audit plan as a template:
1. Select Audit > Audit Plans .
The list of audit plans appears in the edit area.
2. Click the required audit plan.
3. Select To Be Validated > Define As Template.
A window appears; it informs you that this action will pass all audits of the plan to Template status.
4. If required, enter a comment in the window and click OK.
Applying a template audit to a new audit
You can duplicate all or part of a template audit when creating an audit. See Generating a Work Program Automatically.
