2. Standard Objects

Object Name

Object name defined in the system.

Description

Name displayed for the object on the window. Changing the description will change the display text of the corresponding page.

Standard Object

Checkbox to denote if it's a standard object, and will be un-tickable if it's a standard object. 

Enable Sign Off

Each object can be given a sign off by setting up users to sign the phase off. These users will then have the permission assigned to them, and will be assigned under their Quick Update to sign off the object, Administrators can choose between Concurrent or Sequential signoff processes:

• Concurrent signoff, there are two further options:

  • At least one approval needed: If one user approves, the whole object is considered approved.

  • All approvals needed: All users must approve for the object to be considered signed off.

• Sequential signoff, approvals must occur in a defined order, with each approver acting only after the previous one has completed their approval.

By default, when ‘Enable Signoff’ is ticked, the system will automatically select the Concurrent option with At least one approval needed, but administrators can adjust these settings as needed.

Additionally, the Signoff Authority Field can be disabled through a new setting, ‘Disable Signoff Authority Field’, which prevents users from adding or editing values in the field.

• The system administrator can select and modify user groups that are able to edit and view the ‘Close’ object upon completing all corrective actions. This will be available on two levels: for all individual and incidents levels.

• For ‘Close’ object to be opened for editing (to selected user groups), all of the individual incident actions for the incident, needs to have the ‘Action Status’ set as ‘Completed’ OR ‘Deferred’.

• The users will be notified that they are unable to edit the ‘Close’ object without completing relevant actions when they access the object.

  The setting to opt disabling editability of the ‘Close Object’ until action completion, will be available via the ‘Object' configurations area, accessed from Incident Settings > Object Configurations > Close.

• The tick box in the ‘Close’ object can be opted to disable the ‘Close’ object editability until all actions are completed. When the new tick box is ticked, the ‘Close’ object will not be editable until all incident actions are completed.

Enable Investigation Submission

Once the Enable Submit Button option is ticked, this option will be enabled and can be ticked to enable submitting investigation details.

• When the Submit button is clicked, the custom field object 'Investigation Status Name Type Dropdown' and standard 'Investigation Status' field object will be auto-populated with the value 'Completed'. And the field 'Incident Investigation CompletedDate DateTimePicker' will be populated with the date the Submit button was clicked.

With this button enabled, an investigation will be able to be completed then and there.

Permissions of the Embedded Document Object

The Document object accessed via the Documents button, will inherit the permission of the parent object (i.e. the object in which the Document object is configured in), as well as the Document object. If you do not have permission to the Document object, the Documents button will work within the parent object by inheriting the permission of the parent object.
If you have permission to both objects, the union of both permissions are considered and the higher permission will take effect.

• Example 1: If the parent object (Incident Details), has add, edit, read-only permissions, and the Document object has only read-only permission, you will be able to add, edit documents via the parent object, based on the parent's object permission.

• Example 2: If the parent object (Incident Details), has only read-only permission, and the Document object has add, edit, delete permissions, you will be able to add, edit, delete documents in the parent object, based on the document’s object permission.

Documents added via the Documents button can be viewed within the document object, configured to that field and within the documents object, based on the permission. However, it will not be visible if the document object is configured to any other fields in other objects.

• Example 3: The Document object is configured for the field ‘Incident Title’ in the Incident object, as well as for the field ‘Investigation Status’ in the Investigation object. Documents uploaded against the ‘Incident Title’ field cannot be seen within the document object for the ‘Investigation Status’ field. But documents uploaded for both fields can be visible in the Documents object.

Enable 'Links' Button

Denotes if a Linkage  button is displayed, to attach any documents. If enabled, you can define if the hierarchy linkage or any type of linkages can be added.
