Overview
What is audit photo evidence?
Audit photo evidence is the photo attached to a checklist answer to show what the auditor saw. In AutoSmart, photos and notes go on any answer during the audit; you decide where photos are required, whether they must come from the camera, and every submission can carry its location and time.
