# Action Lifecycle

# **Action Lifecycle**

The action lifecycle in uAuditor describes the stages an action passes through from creation to completion. Understanding this lifecycle helps teams track issue resolution clearly and ensures corrective work is completed within expected timelines.

Each action moves through structured status updates that reflect its progress and resolution level.

## **Overview of the Action Lifecycle**

An action typically progresses through the following stages:

1. Action created
2. Action assigned
3. Work in progress
4. Action completed
5. Action verified or closed (if applicable)

These stages provide visibility into how operational issues are handled across locations.

## **Action Creation**

The lifecycle begins when an action is created.

Actions can be created:

- automatically from failed inspection responses
- manually by supervisors or administrators
- from observations during operational reviews
- as follow-up tasks outside inspections

At this stage, the issue is officially recorded and ready for assignment.

## **Action Assignment**

After creation, the action is assigned to a responsible user.

Assignment includes:

- selecting the responsible person
- defining a due date
- setting priority (if enabled)
- linking to inspection, location, or asset

Clear assignment ensures accountability from the start.

## **Action In Progress**

Once the assigned user begins working on the issue, the action status may change to In Progress.

During this stage, users may:

- update action status
- upload evidence 📷
- add comments
- coordinate with supervisors
- document corrective steps

This stage reflects active resolution work.

## **Action Completion**

An action becomes Completed when the assigned user confirms the issue has been resolved.

Completion may include:

- uploading supporting evidence
- documenting corrective steps taken
- confirming compliance restoration
- attaching repair or verification photos

Completed actions remain visible for reporting and auditing purposes.

## **Action Verification (If Required)**

In some workflows, supervisors review completed actions before final closure.

Verification ensures:

- the issue was resolved correctly
- evidence supports the resolution
- corrective work meets operational standards

After verification, the action may be marked as closed depending on configuration.

## **Overdue Actions**

If an action is not completed before its due date, it becomes Overdue ⏱️

Overdue actions help supervisors:

- detect delays quickly
- follow up with responsible users
- prioritize unresolved risks
- maintain operational discipline

Monitoring overdue actions improves response performance across teams.

## **Tracking Action Progress**

Throughout the lifecycle, action progress can be monitored from the Actions module.

Users can track:

- current status
- assignee
- due date
- related inspection
- attached evidence
- activity history

This ensures transparency across corrective workflows.

## **Why the Action Lifecycle Matters**

Managing actions through a structured lifecycle helps organizations:

- resolve inspection failures faster
- improve accountability across branches
- reduce repeated operational issues
- maintain compliance readiness
- strengthen execution quality across teams

Following the action lifecycle ensures that identified issues move from observation to verified resolution in a consistent and traceable way.
