Use a specification to check cert compliance

Quick guide to using specifications to check cert compliance

Specifications can be used to check for compliance with incoming supplier certs. SmartCert's AI technology automatically checks certs against any noted industry standards but companies can expand their compliance check against custom or customer requirements using SmartCert Specifications.


How to check supplier certs using Specifications.

  1. From your received dashboard, click on a SmartCert to open and review.

  2. To check against your own supplier requirements, click on Specifications on the right hand side, under merging.

  3. This opens up another window where you can click "Add a specification" to check compliance of that specific cert package.

  4. Once your specification(s) have been selected, click the blue Check compliance button. The compliance check will flag each data field as complying (Green) or out of compliance (Red).

  5. If the cert package has failed compliance and requires changes from your supplier, click Changes required and use the chat feature to specify what updates are needed to the cert package. Versioning history will show updates as they are made, and provide a reference to previous versions of the cert package.

*Please note, if you are using a monitored email address to centralize supplier certs, the approval/rejection and chat features will not alert your supplier, and communication will have to be done outside of SmartCert.
