The Business Unit fields can be deleted while on the Create a New Internal Audit Project form. If changes need to be made to the Business Unit fields, Resolver recommends deleting the Internal Audit Project and creating a new Internal Audit Project using the correct Business Units.

Click the X to Delete an Entry

Enter a keyword in the Business Unit field and click on a Business Unit to add it to the project.

This Business Unit field creates a reporting connection to the assessment and allows users to create assessment reports (reporting path Company>Business Unit>Assessment).

Enter the keyword you used in step 4 in the second Business Unit field and select the same Business Unit tag you used in the first Business Unit field.

This Business Unit field is the assessment dimension, which tags assessment data to the selected Business Unit. This Tag appears next to the object throughout the system (global searches, views, relationship tables, etc.).
