Action Audit updates and changes

April 2026

2026

Easier mobile app login

Feature
Web Platform (2.43)
Mobile App (2.1)
There are 3 ways to log in to the mobile app, as we described in January. However, a problem arises when employees don't have company email accounts or phones, and the organization doesn't have consent to entrust data to an external company, i.e. us. In such cases, a workaround was used involving creating non-existent phone numbers starting with 555 and verbally communicating activation codes to employees. This naturally caused many complications.
The new feature allows creating phone-based access without inventing non-existent numbers, and instead of communicating an activation code, the employee scans a QR code on the screen of the person managing access.
QR code login
The new feature is especially important for organizations that want to engage their entire team in submitting innovative ideas, risk information, or potential accident event reports.

Multi-select filter for short dictionaries

Feature
Web Platform (2.43)
For parameters that accept values from a short selection list (fewer than 10 items) and for which a dropdown filter was previously available, a new filter type has been introduced allowing the selection of more than one value. The new filter type has been introduced for:
  • Audit list -> parameters: Status and Layer
  • Action list -> parameters: Stage and Qualification
  • Administration -> Users -> parameters: Status and Role

Audit area tags

Feature
Web Platform (2.43)
A new parameter - Tags - has appeared on the audit area edit form. Entered tags will be automatically copied to each created audit, which will improve filtering and categorization of audits, as well as their associated corrective action plans.

PDF file preview

Feature
Web Platform (2.43)
Mobile App (2.1)
A tool for previewing PDF attachments without the need to download them to disk has been added to both the web platform and the mobile app.

Technology update

Change
Web Platform (2.43)
Mobile App (2.1)
This month, in addition to creating new features, we allocated significant resources to technology updates aimed at optimizing performance, improving system security, and meeting requirements imposed by the App Store and Google Play. Changes were applied to both the web platform and the mobile app.

March 2026

It's the end of Pulse! :-(

Change
Significant Change
Mobile App (2.0)
From now on, searching for Action Plan Pulse on the App Store or Google Play will no longer show the well-known Pulse app, because as part of ensuring brand consistency, we have unified the names of all Action Audit system components.
Not only the name has changed, but also certain graphical elements. The new Action Audit mobile app looks like this.
Pulse rebranding

Three extremely important features extending audit form capabilities

All the features described below were suggested to us by system users because that's how Action Audit works - we actively listen to your suggestions and every one that can improve system usability is implemented.
  • Adding questions outside the checklist during an audit,
  • Optional Second Auditor drawing
  • Launching action template handling during an audit
[1] Adding questions outside the checklist: A new toggle Adding questions during audit has appeared on the audit area edit form. When enabled, the auditor can add questions that are not on the list and provide answers during the audit.
[2] Second Auditor Drawing This feature available in the schedule allows activating the drawing of a second person to conduct the audit. Moreover, the second auditor can serve only as an observer (view-only permissions), but can also conduct the audit on behalf of the main auditor (full permissions).
[3] Launching action template handling during an audit: This is an extremely advanced feature that allows connecting two Action Audit modules that previously operated independently - the Audits module and the Submissions module. Everything starts on the checklist edit form, where the person administering the audit module can specify the non-compliance or suggestion handling path based on one of the templates: innovative idea assessment, risk qualification, potential accident event report handling, and action execution according to the action plan template.

Two changes for GITEX Africa 2026: 5 free AI analyses and French language version

Feature
Pulse (1.31)
Web Platform (2.42)
On the occasion of our participation in the GITEX Africa trade fair in Morocco, which takes place in early April, we have prepared 2 interesting offerings:
  • a French language version of the system, for both the web platform and the mobile app,
  • the ability to perform up to 5 free analyses with artificial intelligence support in audits conducted as a guest.

Custom mobile app branding

Feature
Mobile App (2.0)
The ability to customize the app's appearance to match the organization's visual identity has been added in the Expert plan. As part of custom branding, authorized client representatives can:
  • add a company logo displayed in the mobile app interface,
  • define accent colors consistent with the organization's branding.
Custom branding examples

Audit area reports - with or without archived areas

Feature
Web Platform (2.42)
Following the introduction of 3 audit area statuses (Active, Archived, Inactive), the ability to display results including or excluding archived areas has been added to area-related reports.

Display of task completion date and time within an action

Feature
Web Platform (2.42)
One of the features available in the action plan view is the ability to break down an action into tasks. We have now added the display of task completion date and time within an action.
Feature
Web Platform (2.42)
After accessing the user profile, links to Action Audit's profiles on LinkedIn, X (Twitter), and YouTube, as well as to the website, are available in the menu. We encourage you to follow them, as they often contain additional information not found on the website or in the documentation.
Social links

AI Auditor Mode Switch

Feature
Pulse (1.31)
Web Platform (2.42)
When using the AI Auditor, the auditor can decide whether to get a quick answer or enable reasoning and wait longer for more insightful results.
The feature is also available when obtaining corrective action suggestions both in the Pulse app and on the Web Platform.

Optimization of organizational structure management

Feature
Web Platform (2.42)
As part of organizational structure management, the library responsible for rendering the structure tree has been replaced. On this occasion, a new and much-needed feature was also added - deleting an organizational unit with designation of a successor unit to which all dependent objects will be reassigned. The new feature allows for easier management of the organizational structure.

February 2026

Measurements Report

Feature
Web Platform (2.41)
Following the introduction of parametric scales enabling measurement recording, a "Measurements Report" has been made available in the system.

More weekly and monthly frequencies

Change
Web Platform (2.41)
Previously, when defining weekly or monthly schedules, users only had selected multiples available, which made it impossible to schedule audits e.g. every 7 or every 11 weeks. This change removes that limitation.

Non-photo and non-video attachments

Feature
Pulse (1.30)
The mobile application now allows attaching files other than photos and videos, including PDF, XLS, XLSX, DOC, and DOCX. The feature is available in all places that allow attachment uploads, i.e. in the modules: audits, reports, action plans, and actions.

Change to the new audit creation form layout

Change
Web Platform (2.41)
We improved the process of adding new audits. The "New audit" link is now visible only for the following roles: Auditor, Audit Manager, and Administrator. The form can be accessed without going through the report view, and the number of fields has been reduced to simplify the process.

Comments to Audit Answer

Feature
Pulse (1.30)
The function allowing users to add a comment to an answer during an audit was previously available on the web platform. It has now also been added to the mobile application.

Non-Compliance Handling – New Rating Scale Parameter

Feature
Web Platform (2.41)
Action Audit works in such a way that if at least one non-compliance is identified during an audit, a corrective action plan is automatically triggered. This change introduces the ability to define whether a given response determines the creation of a post-audit action: Yes, No – default setting for 100% compliance, or Auditor's decision. In the last case, the person conducting the audit may, but does not have to, trigger a post-audit action.

Introduction of a Second Compliance Threshold

Feature
Web Platform (2.41)
Previously, the only threshold defining the audit compliance result for an area has been split into two thresholds: Positive result from [%] and Acceptable result from [%]. Additionally, the user can select a color associated with the achieved audit result: positive, acceptable, and negative.

Three-state switch for audit area statuses

Feature
Web Platform (2.41)
We added a third status for audit areas. Available statuses are: active - visible everywhere, archived - visible only in reports, and inactive.

Including planned audits in the Audit Results report

Feature
Web Platform (2.41)
We added an option to show and hide planned audits in the Audit Results report, providing a complete view of completed, ongoing, and planned audits.

Unified audit status colors in reports

Significant Change
Web Platform (2.41)
We changed and unified audit status colors in reports within the audit module.

Display of the source template name for action plans

Feature
Web Platform (2.41)
If an action plan was created based on a template, its name is displayed in the top right corner of the single AP view.

Removal of the Analyst role

Change
Web Platform (2.41)
Due to lack of usage, the Analyst role has been removed from the system.

January 2026

Header and left menu layout change

Significant Change
Web Platform (2.40)
To improve usability, we changed the appearance and behavior of the side panel by introducing a two-level menu and highlighting the modular nature of Action Audit. Additionally, the appearance and scope of information displayed in the header has been changed.

Action completion macro with option to enter solution and add attachments

Feature
Web Platform (2.40)
An action can now be quickly completed by clicking the "Complete" button or moving the slider to 100%. This opens a window allowing you to enter a solution and add attachments. Moving the slider will not open the window if a solution is not required or has already been provided earlier.

Competence centers

Feature
Web Platform (2.40)
Competence centers extend user permissions beyond their native organizational structure. They allow assigning roles to users or groups in the context of selected organizational units without assigning them directly to those units. Each center is linked to a specific organizational unit.
Thanks to this, for example, a person from the quality department can perform the role of Audit Manager at the level of the entire plant.

Improved table functionality in the audit report and schedule

Change
Web Platform (2.40)
Due to often very long area names, the first table column can now be resized. Simply click the right edge of the column and drag it. The column width is saved locally in the browser.

More login options for Pulse

Change
Pulse (1.29)
We introduced an additional login option for the mobile application — login using email address and password. This allows users who do not have a company mobile phone to access Pulse.
