Assessments / Audits

“Partial Submit” - In this release, we are introducing the option for submitting a subset of an Audit/Assessment Questionnaire when answering.

“Partial Submit” allows:

  • While evaluating, owners can send clarifications on a subset of the responses provided to the other party while reviewing other answers.

The screenshot below shows an example of Partial Submit and there are 5 answers to be approved and published out of a total of 29 questions.
