Entering Traceability in Quick Start

To enter traceability information in a Quick Start data entry session, click the Traceability tab or press ALT+2 on the keyboard. In PDA mode, click the Tabs menu and then click Traceability.

When you enter traceability values on the Traceability tab, every data subgroup will be stored with those traceability values until you click the Traceability tab again to change the values or until you close the Quick Start data entry session.

When you set a corrective action (event, cause, action taken) or bypass value, this value will be stored when you complete one data subgroup. After the subgroup is stored, the corrective action fields will be reset to empty values (as shown in the sample screen below), and the bypass will be reset to Include record. If you want to set corrective action or bypass values for multiple data subgroups, you must click the Traceability tab and set these values each time you begin a new subgroup.
