"Deviation" Report

The "Deviation" report allows you to easily look at procedures that have severities other than "normal". These abnormal severities are called deviations. Typical severity levels include "Normal" (0), "Warning" (10), "Alert" (20), "Danger" (30), "Critical" (40), "Shutdown" (50).

You can configure the system to allow for approving multiple procedures at a time that fit the criteria of "normal". For example, if a procedure has a single task that has a severity of "Warning" or higher, it must be approved individually.

A typical scenario would be that after you approve all the normal procedures, you can then use the "Deviation" report to quickly review the procedures with deviations. Other than specifically targeting deviations, the Deviation report is the same as a "Completed / In Progress" report. For the list of columns and data available for this type of report, see "Completed / In Progress" Report.

The filter criteria affects the time it takes to open the Deviation report. For the best performance, we recommend a computer running on Intel i5-12600K and 16GB of memory or higher. Also, 8 GB of memory is required to retrieve more than 500 procedures, although this number could fluctuate based on the size of the procedures being retrieved.
