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.

Description

Anomaly

A number that can be used to reference (or cross reference) the anomaly action. For example, the number may relate to a Work Order number in your Planned Maintenance System.

The list is user-definable and you can add/edit/delete action types as required. You can also assign an event type to the anomaly action by selecting one in the Event Type field when creating or editing an action type. If you want to assign a task to the anomaly action, you must assign an event type to the action type here.

Assigned To
