Description

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.

Info

Important

If you don’t create disposition decisions first, the Disposition Decisions area of the Non-Conformance Profiles window will be blank, and you won’t be able to save nonconformance profiles. See Create disposition decisions for more information.

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.

  • Enable Escalation - When selected, makes all escalation options active.

  • Re-send Non-Conformance notification to MRB Participants in:- Specifies when to send an escalation email to MRB participants in days and hours.

  • Send Non-Conformance Notification to Escalation Users in: - Specifies when to send an escalation email to escalation users in days and hours.

  • Escalation Users - Defines the users who are members of the escalation users' group.

  • Escalation E-Mail Template - Specifies the email template to use for escalation emails.

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.
