Upon Accessing the Internal Audit Module, the user will be presented with customized Dashboard that is designed to provide a graphical view of the overall status of the Internal Audit Activity depending on the charts selected from the Dashboard Configuration Screen. However, if this is the first time the dashboard is accessed since the system has been installed, the dashboard screen will be empty. To configure the Dashboard, click on the Go to Chart Setting tab in the toolbar menu to configure and customise the dashboard chart.
The Go-to Chart settings feature will direct you to the Dashboard Configuration- References screen:
From the module drop-down list select the Internal Audit Module
The numbers presented in the table refer to the charts position within the dashboard (i.e. 1 refers to the first chart that will be presented in the dashboard). Accordingly, select the chart number then select the chart you would like the dashboard to present from the “Charts” drop-down list as shown below:
The following charts are available for the Internal Audit Module:
