An example if using the option Times per day, could be where the Category is Medication and you set the value to 2. The audit would then check that at least 2 Events have been added for that Category.

When audits have been setup, back on the Care Plan on the right hand side is the Audit Calendar.  This will display any audits in either red/green or any days where the audit was expected and it either passed or failed.

Printing Care Plans

The Options in the top right has a Print Plan option. Selecting this will prompt you to select the Categories you want to include and any additional details from the Learner record itself to include in the printout.
