Setting up Checklist Items

An analysis checklist is a list of “things to do” to remind the team of the steps they need to consider when performing the analysis. For each item that you add to APM settings, you can specify the varieties of analysis it applies to, identify it with an icon, and provide a description.

When recording an analysis, you can mark analysis checklist items as “Performed” and provide comments for them. APM records the employee who checked off the item, the date, and time. The analysis team can view the status of checklist items in the analysis window, Properties view, Checklist tab.

This topic explains how to add checklist items in APM.
