How do I view a whole day's records in Trail?

View a specific day

  • Head to the Complete Tasks page of the site you're interested in.

  • Use the date selector at the top to navigate to the desired date, or use the arrows to go through day by day.

View a range of dates

You can also use the Search Tasks section to view a specific day or a range of dates. Just go to Search tasks and filter from there:


I’m being audited - what do I do?

If you're being audited, ask the EHO or internal auditor which compliance check they would like to view.

View a specific day

Auditors can view tasks by day using the Calendar feature on the Complete Tasks page to navigate back and view days as a whole.

View a range of dates and data

Auditors can also select the appropriate filters based on what they would like to see to view your completed task data.


How do I print out completed tasks?

If you need to print your completed checks, this can be done from the browser. Click "File” and then “Print" or hit the keyboard shortcut "CTRL" + "P" to print all your tasks or save them as a PDF.

💡 Note: If the tasks are coming up with blank tick boxes, you will need to check your print settings and make sure that background graphics are enabled - this should solve the problem.
