Edit/Update Action Plan Information

The action plan form is divided into two sections; the Action Plan Attributes section (created by the initiator or the assessment manager) and the Resolution Information section (completed by the person responsible for the action plan). Users assigned as the person responsible can only update the Resolution Information section - they can not edit the action plan attributes.

If the Enable Auto Email field has been selected, users assigned to resolve, review and/or assigned to the action plan notification role will be notified by email that the action plan has been updated, edited, deleted or closed. This email contains a link directly to the action plan.

Action plans are also accessible via the Action Items list. You may update action plan information via in-line editing or through the form.

Update Action Plan Attributes

  1. Access the action plan form.
  2. Click Edit in the Attributes section.

    Note: You may also click Edit to update information via in-line editing.

  3. Modify the information on the top of the form, for example the name of the person responsible for completing the action plan and the review owner.
  4. Click Save.

    Note: If Enable Auto Email functionality has been turned on, email notifications are generated indicating the action plan has been edited. Click the Notification link to manually send an email.

Notes:

  • When editing the attributes section (upper section) of the action plan, select the Notification link in the Notification field of the Action Plan. In the resulting screen, the user is able to specify those that should receive a notification, who the notification is coming from, as well as the contents of the email to be sent out. The email address of the individual responsible automatically populates the TO: field. Users can remove the email addresses if they do not wish to send an email notification to individuals. Upon saving the notification specifications, the notification is sent out to the specified users. Action plans that have been locked cannot be edited.
