Users will have the ability to configure an automatic failure on an audit or assessment template basis based on a specifically provided response to an audit question. This is useful whenever a specific response to an audit question needs to showcase that a critical failure has occurred.
If scoring is configured, users will see that an entire audit has failed and they have received a 0% as an overall score. Moreover, each section and subsection will be highlighted to reflect where the failure occurred along with receiving a 0% score.
Examples of audit and assessment failure response could be scenarios where there may be no running water, pests found, or sewage backup.
