Using Themes in the Audit System

This tool allows you to group and report on your questions by the theme of the content

A Theme is a tool that allows you to organise and group your audit questions based on specific criteria, regardless of the section headings you have chosen for your audit. By using themes, you can easily sort and analyse your audit data, making it more efficient to identify patterns and trends. 

To turn Themes on, firstly create your audit as normal, then in the edit section scroll down to the Themes section to enable themes:

You are then able to add as many themes as required by clicking the Add New Theme button.

Once the themes have been added, these can then be applied to the questions on an individual basis. Whether adding a new question or editing a pre-existing one, themes can be added in using the same method:

Opening up the option will allow you to select the corresponding theme from the dropdown menu:

If a Theme is not required for a question, Not Required must be selected from the dropdown list

Once selected, click the Edit Question button to save the changes made. You will then be able to see on the summary table which of your questions have themes associated with them:

You will also be able to identify from the main audit screen which of your audits (either live or historic) use themes in the questions:
