RCA Verification Records

RCA Verification records store task-related information necessary to verify a hypothesis. The following table provides an alphabetical list and description of the fields that exist for the RCA Verification family and appear by default on the RCA Verification datasheet. The information in the table reflects the baseline state and behavior of these fields.

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.
