Community Owners may assign assessments to collect information about your organization, products, locations, food safety programs, or compliance activities.
When an assessment is assigned, it appears in your To-Do List and may also be available within the Audits & Assessments area of FoodLogiQ.
Note
Assessments can be assigned as one-time requests or as part of a recurring schedule.
