Setting the Default Action when Browsing for Indicators

When users browse for indicators to add to failure modes, they can choose to copy or link the selected indicators. When the copy option is selected, a new indicator is created and assigned to the asset referenced on the action plan. If the failure mode is deleted in the future, the indicator is also removed from the system. If the link option is chosen, the indicator is assigned to the asset but exists independently in the system.

In indicator settings, you can set the default selection for the Browse Indicators dialog.
