Use

Problem damages describe what type of damages were observed for a problem location. If you want to create a hierarchical symptom structure, you can assign problem damages and causes to problem locations. You can also choose to have a flat structure in which the problem locations, damages, and causes are all subnodes on the same level under the problem analysis.

Note

You cannot assign problem damages under a problem cause. If you select a problem cause before you add the problem damages, the problem damages are not added under the problem cause. Instead they are added under the problem analysis node under the symptom.

You can also use the wizard to create a symptom structure. For more information, see Step-by-Step Guide (Wizard).

Procedure

  1. On the symptom maintenance screen, choose Add problem damages under the selected node.
  2. Select the problem damage(s) by code.
  3. Choose Copy to finish the selection.

Result

The problem damages are added to the symptom whose information is displayed on the symptom subscreen.
