NC Client Maintenance

You use this activity to create nonconformance clients.

A nonconformance client defines nonconformance options for operators who enter failure, defect, and repair information in the system. For more information, see NC Clients.

Integration

After you create a nonconformance client, you can use it in the POD (see Setting Up PODs for Nonconformance).
