Controlled source base

Regulation library

The Regulation Library is where controlled source content and question material can be maintained.

Screen routeDashboard → Regulation Library

Bring your own source into A1 Audit

Use the route that matches the material you already have. Both routes end with a review step before the questions are used in an audit.

Route 1

Excel template: import prepared questions

  1. Open Dashboard → Regulation Library.
  2. Open the Excel import option and download the template supplied by the app.
  3. Enter the source hierarchy and questions in the template without changing the required structure.
  4. Upload the completed workbook.
  5. Review the imported chapters, sections and questions, correct anything necessary and approve the source.

Route 2

Source upload: generate draft questions

  1. Open Dashboard → Regulation Library.
  2. Upload the applicable regulation, internal SOP or other controlled source document where your user rights allow.
  3. Start the question-generation flow.
  4. Review every generated question against the source, edit the wording and structure where needed and approve only accurate content.
  5. Open Audit Preparation and select the questions needed for the audit scope.
Do not skip the review.Question generation and Excel import help structure the work. They do not determine applicability or replace the end user’s professional assessment of the source.

Other library options

Import bundled Question Oracle packs

The library can discover and import bundled Question Oracle packs.

Open approved sources

Approved source documents can be opened for source access. Approved source documents cannot be deleted from the library screen.

What makes it useful

  • Upload actions, import review, and approved sources are separated.
  • Read-only users are blocked from maintenance actions they are not allowed to perform.
  • Approved content can support consistent audit preparation.

What this helps prevent

Uncontrolled source changes, mystery checklists, and audit questions with weak source traceability.
