Understanding Broadcasts
The Broadcast module in uAuditor allows administrators to communicate important information with users and locations across the organization from a centralized platform. Broadcasts help ensure operational updates, safety alerts, and policy announcements are delivered clearly and acknowledged by the right teams 📢
This feature strengthens internal communication and improves coordination across distributed operations.
What Are Broadcasts?
Broadcasts are structured announcements sent to selected users, locations, or teams inside your organization.
They can be used to share:
- operational updates
- safety notices
- new policies and procedures
- compliance reminders
- training instructions
- internal announcements
- urgent alerts
Broadcasts ensure messages reach the correct audience quickly and reliably.
Why Use Broadcasts
Organizations use broadcasts to:
- communicate policy changes across branches
- distribute operational instructions
- notify teams about safety risks
- share important reminders
- coordinate field activities
- support compliance communication tracking
Broadcasts reduce reliance on external messaging tools and keep communication inside the operational workflow.
Where Broadcasts Appear
Broadcasts are visible to recipients inside the platform:
- on the web application
- inside the mobile application
- within the My Broadcasts section
- as notifications (when enabled)
This ensures users receive updates wherever they access uAuditor 📲

Used for sharing updates that do not require action.
Examples:

Acknowledgment-Based Broadcasts
Require users to confirm they have read the message.
Examples:
- compliance instructions
- safety alerts
- updated operational standards
Interactive Broadcasts

These broadcasts support collaboration across teams.
Broadcast Targeting Options

This ensures communication reaches only relevant recipients.
What Broadcast Tracking Includes
uAuditor tracks broadcast engagement automatically.
Managers can monitor:

This improves accountability and communication visibility 📊
How Broadcasts Support Operations
Operations teams commonly use broadcasts to:
- announce inspection program updates
- share new compliance requirements
- notify teams about hazards or incidents
- coordinate multi-location initiatives
- distribute operational guidelines
- support training rollouts
Broadcasts help maintain alignment across locations and teams.
Example Use Case
Example scenario:
A quality manager publishes a broadcast announcing updated food safety procedures across all branches.
The manager:
- selects target locations
- attaches supporting documents
- requires acknowledgment
- monitors confirmation responses
This ensures every location receives and confirms the updated instruction.
Best Practices for Using Broadcasts
To use broadcasts effectively:
- target only relevant users or locations
- require acknowledgment for critical updates
- attach supporting documents when needed
- enable comments for collaborative topics
- monitor engagement after publishing
- follow up on unread or unacknowledged messages
Broadcasts help organizations maintain clear communication, strengthen compliance awareness, and ensure important operational updates reach the right teams at the right time.
