Summary: This page provides instructions for managing Actions (in the Action Plan) in the Engineering Dashboard. |
Introduction
The Engineering Dashboard features Engineering Dashboard features the ability:
- to add and remove objects (violations) to and from an "Action Plan" - an Action Plan is simply a list of objects (i.e. "violations") that have
...
- been selected for action in the next snapshot generation process with a priority level assigned to them. Users can then use the list to focus their re-mediation work. Think of it as a "to
...
- do list" - i.e. objects that require work to remove the violation flagged by CAST.
- to Exclude objects from a future snapshot - this can be useful when the object is violating an AIP Rule, but is irrelevant or is a false positive.
- to add and remove Rules to and from an "Education" list to promote best practices.
- to view detailed information about rules that have been added to the Education list in the Continuous Improvement feature.

The image below shows a list of violations that have already been added to the Action Plan:
Click to enlarge:
| Added: Total number of objects (violations) in the Action Plan that have been added to the list since the last snapshot was generated - their status will be checked during the next snapshot generation. | ||
| Pending: Total number of objects (violations) in the Action Plan that are STILL violating a rule since the last snapshot was generated - i.e. the problem has not been fixed. | ||
| Solved: Total number of objects (violations) in the Action Plan that have been corrected and are no longer violating the rule since the last snapshot was generated - i.e. the object has been remediated. | ||
| Remove any Solved violations from the Action Plan. | ||
| Use this option to open the Action Plan Recommendation feature - designed to help you automatically build an Action Plan to improve the grade/score of a chosen Health Factor (Business Criteria). | ||
| Use this option to export the contents of the Action Plan to an Excel file. See Exporting data to Microsoft Excel file format for more information. | ||
| This check box allows you to manage the object (violation). A Manage button will appear when an object is ticked:
This button allows you to:
| ||
| Select all option will select only the available rows in the current page. | ||
Displays the priority given to the object (violation) when it was added to the action plan, ranging from:
Data can be filtered on this status, with the addition of All Tags - i.e. all priorities:
The Priority set on each violation when it was added to the Action Plan can be modified using the check box and Manage > Update Actions button.
| |||
| Status | Displays the status of the object (violation) in the Action Plan (see the sections in the rows above which explain these statuses in full):
Data can be filtered on this status, with the addition of All Statuses:
| ||
| Comment | Displays the free text comment assigned to the object (violation) when it was added to the Action Plan. This comment can be modified using the check box and Manage > Update Actions button. Data can be filtered on the comment, with the addition of All Comments and Empty Comments:
| ||
| Rule | The name of the Quality Rule for which the object (violation) has been added to the Action Plan (objects (violations) can appear multiple times in the Action Plan). Data can be filtered on the rule name, with the addition of All Rules:
| ||
| Object Name Location | The name of, and information about the object (violation) that has been added to the Action Plan for remediation. The header also function as a search mechanism to search on the OBJECT NAME LOCATION field - i.e. you can search for specific violations (based on the object name location field):
| ||
| Last Update | The date the object (violation) was last updated - i.e. any of the following:
| ||
| This icon, when clicked, will take you direct to the Source Code page for the object (violation) in question. | ||
| Use this option to export the contents of the Action Plan to an Excel file. See Exporting data to Microsoft Excel file format for more information. |

| Note that all columns are sortable (in ascending/descending alphabetical/numerical order) by clicking the column header. |

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 Engineering Dashboard json configuration options using the tag parameters. |
The violations will then be added to the Action Plan, In this example, we have selected the Extreme priority entered a comment:

If there are many violations, a Pagination (table footer) will be displayed (this is to improve the performance of the display). At the bottom of the violations list, there are improved options for pagination of items.
