|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Name and Description | Specifies the name of the disposition decision and (optionally) a description. | |||||||
| MRB Participants | Specifies the members of the MRB. You can select individual users and/or user groups. | |||||||
| E-Mail Template | Indicates the email template the MRB will use to send emails related to the disposition decision for a non-conformance. | |||||||
| Supporting Documents | Allows you to attach supporting documents to the disposition decision and associated action plans for a non-conformance. Supporting documents can be instructions, drawings, or other documents about how to handle a non-conformance. When you attach documents to the profile, they are accessible to the engineers who are developing and/or executing the action plans. | |||||||
| Disposition Decisions | This list is populated with previously-created disposition decisions.
| |||||||
| Escalation | When enabled, specifies the time frame, users, and escalation email template to use. Escalation ensures that if someone doesn’t respond or approve something in a timely fashion, the approval email is sent again automatically. You can also escalate to managers or supervisors if someone doesn’t respond to a non-conformance email.
| |||||||
| Report Template | Allows you to select a previously-saved report template for non-conformance reports. A DataMiner Alarm Reaction template is used for the report. | |||||||
| Disposition Approval | Specifies the approval workflow for MRB members who approve disposition decisions for non-conformances. Some non-conformance workflows require one or more approval levels to ensure that a corrective action or preventive action was done correctly. Approvals also help ensure that the action plan as authored is suitable to prevent a non-conformance from occurring again. |
