Create a cause group

You can create a cause group and then add causes to the group.

You must have the appropriate user privilege to edit causes.

Only one user at a time can make changes to a cause or cause group. If a user is changing a cause or cause group, other users will see an error message if they attempt to change the same cause or cause group.

The Cause module is in the Quality Management group in the Navigation Bar. For more information on groups and modules, see Groups and modules.

Create a cause group

1. Open or go to the Cause workspace tab.

2. Do one of the following:

   • Press the Ctrl+N keys.

   • Right-click in the tab and on the context menu click New Cause Group.

   • On the ribbon, go to the Home tab and on the New menu click New Cause Group.

   A new cause group is added.

3. In the new group's Properties window, enter a brief description for the cause group and, optionally, user-defined information in the spare fields about the group.

4. Save the changes.

An error message appears if the cause group cannot be created. Modify the cause group, as needed, to correct the error, and save to clear the error.
