Compliance checklist automation

Purpose

1. Compliance checklist automation automates oversight by generating, distributing, tracking, and archiving regulatory, operational, and safety compliance checklists for army museums.

2. Automating compliance ensures all staff follow standard procedures for loans, exhibits, facilities, and disaster readiness adherence to legal, military, and cultural policies.

3. The automation aims to eliminate manual errors, reduce administrative load, and create transparent, auditable records.

4. Ensures timely review and completion of daily, weekly, and monthly checklists related to collection stewardship, hazardous materials, security checks, and exhibit maintenance.

Trigger Conditions

1. Scheduled triggers—automatedly on set intervals (daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly).

2. Event-based triggers—when a new exhibit opens or is rotated, or after audits or staff onboarding.

3. Manual triggers by admin for ad hoc compliance reviews or spot checks.
