Overview: Compliance allows general managers to respond to deviation reports to ensure that all operational issues are addressed promptly, especially those linked to high-risk tasks or requiring corrective action.

Start from: The Compliance overview:

  • Navigate to your location’s Overview page.
  • In the Open deviations tile, you may see separate tabs for Daily Schedule and Forms.
  • Open the relevant deviation report from the list.
  • You can also respond deviations from within the Daily Schedule if the deviation originated there.
  • In the Forms section, deviations may appear in the top summary, but are not clickable. You need to open the related form to respond.


Respond to a regular deviation

This is the most common type of deviation.

  • Locate the deviation.
  • Depending on the configuration, two types exist:
    • No comment required: Click Close deviation directly.
  • Comment required:
    • Enter the reason in State the reason for the deviation and the measures taken*.
    • Describe both why it happened and what you did to resolve or prevent it.
    • Then select Close deviation.


Use this for typical operational issues like a missed cleaning task or an out-of-range temperature check.

Respond to a corrective action deviation

Corrective action deviations are typically tied to higher-risk tasks and require a more detailed follow-up.

  • Locate the deviation.
  • The Direct action panel appears in your deviation. Here, follow the same steps as in a regular deviation (as above) to be able to close the direct action.

  • Now, you will see the Create corrective action button in your task. Select it. 

  • In the Corrective panel, fill out: 
    • Describe the corrective action*
    • Select a Responsible user.
    • Set a Due date.
    • Select Save.

  • Back in the task, in the Corrective action section, State the reason for the deviation and the measures taken*.
  • Select Close corrective action.  

Note: Like regular deviations, some corrective action deviations may not require a comment depending on how they are set.
