About State Management in RCA

The Root Cause Analysis Module uses standard State Management functionality to manage RCA Analysis records.

Actions that you take in the RCA module determine the state of an RCA Analysis. When you perform an action, the value in the State field changes automatically, which transitions the analysis from one state to another.

The state of an RCA Analysis record is stored in the State field, which is not included on any of the baseline datasheets that exist for the RCA Analysis family.

If State Management has been configured, then Root Cause Analyses can have one of the states in the following list.

Note: Only super users, MI PROACT Administrators and Principal members can change the state of an anaylsis.

Not Started: Indicates that an RCA has not yet started.
In Progress: Indicates that an RCA has not yet been completed.
On Hold: Indicates that an RCA is on hold.
Deferred: Indicates that an RCA has been postponed.
Completed: Indicates that an RCA has been completed.
