Prior to installing or upgrading Workbench at a client site, a Site Audit of the current server environment should be undertaken to identify any issues which may prevent the install / upgrade from being carried out successfully.

The Site Audit involves a Workbench Technical Consultant logging into the site and collecting relevant details about the target servers where Workbench is to be installed / upgraded.  

Conducting the Audit

• Fill out the checklist with details about the server(s) that Workbench will be deployed too (Its a good idea to copy the checklist and paste into a JIRA issue).
• On True / False questions, delete the incorrect answer.
• Try to keep version numbers either as integer or floating point values. This will help when comparing values later on.
• Separate multiple entries on the line with a comma.
• Sections that are not installed or won't be included in the install / upgrade, leave section headings in grey and values empty.
• Sections that need attention, bold and mark with red text.
