References tab
On the References tab, you can search for and add work orders and supplementary forms as references to the isolation plan.
Guidelines
-
You can add references when work item is in editable status.
-
References to be added cannot be in Canceled or Closed status.
-
If work item is cancelled, all references will be removed.
-
You can remove linked references when work item is in editable status.
-
For some reference types, you can perform the workflow directly from References page.
Log entry for deleted read-only references
When you delete a link to read-only reference, there is now a log entry for this action. This applies for all reference types for the following work items:
Work Permit, Isolation Plan, Isolation List, Task Risk Assessment, Safe Job Analysis and Supplementary Form.
OSM makes a log entry only if the work item is in non-editable state (such as after approval). When the work item is in an editable state, there is no log entry.
-
If both items are editable - no log entry
-
If one item is non-editable - creates log entry
-
If both items are non-editable - creates log entry
The log entry happens on both sides—on the work item side and on the reference side.
Why. Because if there is an audit, there is a record of previous associations between work items, even if these items have been removed.
