RCA Event Records

RCA Event records store basic information about a failure event. The following table provides an alphabetical list and description of the fields that exist for the RCA Event family and appear by default on the RCA Failure Event datasheet. The information in the table reflects the baseline state and behavior of these fields. This list is not comprehensive.

This family is enabled for site filtering, which means that records in this family can be assigned to a specific site, and will then only be accessible to users who are assigned to the same site and have the appropriate license and family privileges. See the Site Filtering section of the documentation for more information on using this feature.

Field	Type	Description	Behavior and Usage
Event End Date	Date	The end date of the failure event, if applicable.	If the Root Cause Analysis was created from a Production Event, this field will be populated automatically with the value in the End Date field of that Production Event. Otherwise, you can define this value manually when you create the RCA Event. The date specified in the End Date field must be greater than the date specified in the Start Date field.
Event ID	Character	The ID for the failure event.	The Event ID field is populated automatically with RCA-[Current Date] and is disabled.
Event Start Date	Date	The start date of the failure event.	If the RCA was created from a Production Event, this field will be populated automatically with the value in the Start Date field of that Production Event. Otherwise, you can define this value manually when you create the RCA Event.
Label	Character	The name of the failure event as you want it to appear for the Failure Event node in the diagram.	If the RCA was created from a Production Event, this field will be populated automatically with the value in the Headline field of that Production Event. Otherwise, you can define this value manually when you create the RCA Event.
Long Description	Text	A detailed description of the failure event.	If the RCA was created from a Production Event, this field will be populated automatically with the value in the Description field of that Production Event. Otherwise, you can define this value manually when you create the RCA Event.
Short Description	Character	A brief description of the failure event.	This field does not appear on the RCA Failure Event datasheet by default.
