The Action Plans section of the Non-Conformance Profiles window is where you specify the action plans available for a non-conformance profile. When you make a disposition decision, you use the Accessibility drop-down in each action plan type or root cause analysis to specify what is Required, Permitted, and Not Permitted to address a non-conformance.
The color of each action plan type has significance:
- Green indicates required

- Gray indicates not permitted
