Released to Sandboxes
The following changes are available October 24, 2022 in your sandbox and will be released to production on November 23rd, 2022:
Events: New user interface and new features
With Qualio Events, you have the ability to manage your quality event process, from complaints and CAPA’s to deviations and change control. Within Qualio we have updated our Events User Interface (UI) to enhance your experience. The following pages now have the new UI:
Products list and adding Products
Root Causes list and adding Root Causes
Events list
Events details
If you are an existing user of Events, note the Events menu will now be a single click to allow you to open the events list view, removing the existing submenu.
If you would like to learn more about the new UI, view our help center article or if you want to begin using events today, contact your CSM or support@qualio.com.

Validation for Events
Qualio has completed the general validation, and the pack is linked here for your review. You are welcome to generate test scripts from this documentation if you prefer, but we have tested these features on your behalf.
User management: New Admin Permission and Admin Settings Page
Qualio’s new admin functionality enables organizations to designate admin permissions to any role whether they are a Quality, Normal or Basic user. This is particularly helpful if you want to grant admin access to individuals who work outside your quality department as it allows you to maintain the confidentiality of sensitive information while ensuring people in e.g. IT, have the access they need.
As we roll this out to you, note that all Quality users will maintain their admin rights, but can later be removed as it will now be decoupled for the Quality role. All admins can then manage the admin permissions of other users.
All changes made will be captured and reflected in the company’s Audit Trail.
With the new admin functionality all user and group information can now be accessed and edited under a new user / group menu item in the Admin Settings page. Admins will be able to change permissions and settings for all users within their company from here.
See our help center article to learn more.
