Create an investigation from an issue
Learn how to create an investigation directly from issues via the web app to help your team gather evidence, analyze the root cause, and resolve complex problems.Why create an investigation from an issue?
Issues are a quick way to report a problem in the workplace. When a reported issue needs deeper analysis, an investigation gives you the structure to analyze and resolve it. Creating an investigation directly from an issue keeps everything connected. All the original details from an issue, including comments, media, inspections, and actions, stay in one place. This gives you a complete view of what happened and how it was handled.
From there, you can gather evidence, run inspections, assign corrective actions, and manage access so the right people are involved at every stage. This creates a full audit trail from the reported issue to the actual resolution.
