# Viewing Audit Report

The **Plan Audit Report** includes data on all the activity performed within the specified period. The report contains details on plan check and scan operations, provides information on plan RTO and RPO, and lists any errors encountered during plan execution.

Orchestrator generates two types of reports:

- A summary report that includes a plan overview and a summary on all the performed scan and checks.
- A full report that also includes information on each check. 

## Scheduling Plan Audit Reports

You can schedule a time to publish an Audit Report for a plan. To do that:

1. Navigate to **Recovery Plans**.
2. Select the plan. From the **Manage** menu, select **Schedule**.

   -OR-

   Right-click the plan name and select **Manage** > **Schedule**.

3. In the **Scheduled Tasks** window, click the **Schedule** icon in the **Publish Audit report** field, set the desired date and time, and click **Save**. 

As soon as you click **Save**, Orchestrator will create a new schedule. To track the status of the created schedule, navigate to the **Scheduled tasks** tab.

## Generating Plan Audit Report Manually

By default, Orchestrator runs the Plan Audit Report automatically for every *ENABLED* recovery plan once a month. You can also generate the report for a plan on demand:

1. Navigate to **Recovery Plans**.
2. Select the plan.
3. From the **Publish** menu, select **Plan Audit Report**.

   -OR-

   Right-click the plan and select **Publish** > **Plan Audit Report**.
