The quality manager (QM) and quality advisory board (QAB) can reset a Q-Gate to the Initial
status by choosing the Reset
status if the circumstances require it. The previous status is logged in the Q-Gate status change log. If the
reset Q-Gate is used to switch phases, QGM reverts to the previous phase.
Note
Only the last Q-Gate with the status Passed
can be reset.
To reset a Q-Gate, proceed as follows:
On the Quality Gates
tab page, select the Q-Gate you want to reset by choosing Quality Gate Details
.
The system displays the quality gate dialog box for this quality gate.
Choose the Reset
entry of the status dropdown list.
After the first processor has reset the status, the Q-Gate is in process. This means that imports in systems after this Q-Gate are no longer possible. Once the second processor has also reset the status, it is initial.
After saving the Q-Gate data, both statuses of this Q-Gate will be initial.
Note
If the Q-Gate is a standard Q-Gate, the phase of the project is rolled back to the previous phase as well. If the phase shift fails, the phase shift can be repeated after fixing the problem by choosing Restart Phase Shift
in the Q-Gate Details popup.
