List Failure Codes

Use the List Failure Codes dialog box to report failure information for the asset or location on the record. To report failure information, you select failure codes that correspond with one or more levels of a failure hierarchy. The failure hierarchy describes the failure, the problem, the cause, and the remedy. This dialog box is available in more than one application.

If you do not use the failure hierarchy to report information on the asset or location, you can use the Solution Details tab to enter free-form descriptions of the problem, cause, and remedy.
