Add/Edit Anomaly Action Dialog

See below for the description of fields in the Add Anomaly Action/Edit Anomaly Action dialogs.

In the Add Anomaly Action dialog, only the Anomaly Action tab is visible, the other tabs get displayed once you have saved a new anomaly action and start editing it.

  • Anomaly Action tab:
