Findings

Findings are an important part of ensuring that issues identified during any workflow are properly documented, tracked, and analyzed, to ensure that any required follow-up is completed.

To access Findings:

1. Select Findings from the Assessments modules on the Salute home page

2. From the Findings Module landing page, you can:

   1. Select an individual finding to see more detail 

   2. Filter the list by selecting a column header (can do multiple filters) to see a select list of items

   3. Create a new Finding

   4. Export the findings to Excel for additional analysis

3. By Selecting “+ New Finding”, you will be directed to the New Finding screen. This form allows users to track specific details of the finding

   Overview

   2. Finding Type: This is selectable based on the library of finding types. This will default to the corresponding Checklist item and will pre-populate much of the information in the finding form

   3. Finding: A place to provide more information about the specific finding. This field pre-populates based on the Finding Type selected.

   4. Corrective Actions: What is required to be done based on the finding? This field pre-populates based on the Finding Type selected.

   5. Website info: can be used to provide external links

   6. Object: Similar to assessment, the object is used to determine the specific item the finding should be attributed to. In this case, the object will pre-populate to whichever Object was selected for the assessment

   7. Attachments: Can be used to provide reference material, including pictures. When accessing Salute from a mobile device, selecting the add attachment feature will show an option to bring up the native camera application

At the bottom of the finding form is a section for Corrective Actions completed. This can be filled out by the creator of the finding, or it will be assigned to the Responsible Person who will be able to respond to the finding with Corrective Actions on the community portal.
