To access the feature, there are two methods:
Removing violations (objects) from the Action Plan
If you would like to remove an violation that has already been added to the Action Plan, you can do so as follows:
- Access the Action Plan from the side menu bar, or from the Action Plan tile on the "home" page
- Select the violation or use the multi checkbox to select all objects under the Quality Rule/Distribution/Measure:
- Then click the Manage button and select the Remove From Action list option as shown above.
- All selected violations will now be reset and will no longer be part of the Action Plan.
Updating comments/priority for violations (objects) that are already present in the Action Plan
If you have added specific violations to the Action Plan with a specific priority and comment, you can alter the priority and comments directly, without having to remove the violation from the Action Plan and then re-add it. You can do this from the Action Plan itself:
- Locate the violation in the Action Plan
- Select the violation or use the multi checkbox to select all violations you want to update
- Then click the Manage button and select the Update Actions option:
- A dialog box will be displayed enabling you to choose a new Priority you want to assign to the violation and edit the comment where necessary:
- All selected violations will now be updated.
Exploiting the Action Plan via the legacy CED and beta APO

Adding violations (objects) to the Action Plan
- Drill down to Violations level in any of the the Quality, Application or Transaction Investigation views
- A checkbox will be visible in each object description row (highlighted in the image below in red) - if you do not see this checkbox, then your login does not have the correct role:
- Place a check mark in the checkbox alongside the object that you want to add to the Action Plan - the Add button will then become visible as shown below:
- Now click the Add button and select the Add the violations to the Action Plan option:
- Now enter a comment (not mandatory) to annotate the violations (this comment will appear in the Action Plan) and choose a priority (Extreme, High, Moderate, Low) - mandatory - from the drop down list. Click Add to add the violations to the Action Plan:

| Note that it is possible to modify the names used for the priorities and the placeholder text used in this dialog box. See CAST-AED - Dashboard wide configuration options in json using the tag parameters. |

...

...
Use the heading row check box to select all the violations to the selected Quality Rule:
- If there are many violations in the Action Plan, a Show More button will be displayed (this is to improve the performance of the display). You can choose to display more using the various options (+10, +100 etc.). By default an upper maximum of 5000 violations is set when the "All" option is clicked. You can change the upper maximum if required (see the violationsCount option in CAST-AED - Dashboard wide configuration options in json).
- You can add violations from the Schedule Exclusion List using the Add the related violations to the Action Plan option:
| Anchor | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|

...
Two sub-pages are available in the Exclusion tab:
- Active Exclusions > Shows violations that have been added to the Exclusion list and a subsequent full snapshot or consolidation action has been processed (therefore the violations are not part of the results of the current snapshot) - i.e. they are actively excluded.
- Scheduled Exclusions > Shows violations that have been added to the Exclusion list and no full snapshot or consolidation action has been processed yet (therefore the violations still form part of the results of the current snapshot). When a full snapshot or consolidation action is processed, exclusions in this list will move to the Active Exclusions page.
