In the Navigation panel, on the left side of the activity data screen, it is possible to enter information and associate objects that will complement the activity. Select the desired option and fill in the fields that will display on the right part of the screen:
A
|
In this area, the information about the execution of the activity is presented, such as starter, requester, priority, deadline, and description.
|
B
|
This is the Navigation panel, which allows you to access the various sections that may be configured in the activity. This panel may not be displayed if in the activity data (Configurations Form), the "Show form only in activity execution" option has been checked.
|
C
|
Information regarding the menu selected in the Navigation panel is displayed in this area.
|
D
|
In this area, the system displays some submenus that have been configured for the activity. They may be available in the activity to fill out the forms, attributes, requirements, checklist, sub-activities, among others.
|
E
|
In this area, the system will display the associations (with other components of the system) that can be carried out in the activity. The associations presented depend on the configuration performed in the activity (Configurations Association) and the availability of the component in the access license.
|
The above image is merely illustrative and is intended to exemplify the sections and fields that may be displayed in the Navigation panel. It is important to note that their availability will vary according to the configurations made during the process creation and modeling (SE Process).
|
In this area (D), the system displays some submenus that have been configured for the activity. The configuration of these submenus is done during process modeling, through the "Configurations" section in the activity data.
In the panel in the highlighted area (A), the information about the activity execution is available. The following information/configurations are available:
Starter: This field displays the name and picture of the user who created the problem. Click on the name or picture of the starter of the problem to which the activity belongs to view the data.
Requester: To enter the requester, click on the button and, on the screen that will open, enter the requester of the problem. This field will only be displayed if, in the process data (Configurations Instance), the "Allow entering requester" option is checked. In order for the executor to be able to enter or change the requester, the "Allow editing requester" option must have been checked in the configuration of the activity (Configurations Instance) that is running. It is also important to point out that, according to the configuration performed in process data (Configuration Instance), the requester may be a system user or a customer (company).
Enter priority: To enter the priority, click on the button and, on the screen that opens, enter the result of each evaluation criterion. The method to enter the values and available criteria will vary according to the configurations set during the creation of the evaluation method (SE Process). This option will only be displayed if an evaluation method is associated with the process data (Configuration Instance). In order for the executor to be able to enter or change the priority, the "Allow priority editing" option must have been checked in the configuration of the activity (Configurations Instance) that is under execution.
Activity deadline: This option shows whether the activity has a deadline and, in case affirmative, whether it is on time or past due. The deadline of an activity is defined by filling the Duration field on the activity data screen during process modeling. With that, the system calculates the deadline based on the default calendar used by the process.
Description: If during the problem recording, the description has been entered, it will be displayed in this field. Otherwise, click on the button to enter or change the description of the problem. In order for the executor to be able to enter or change the description, the "Enable description change" option must have been checked in the activity configuration (Configurations Instance) that is under execution.
|
By selecting the "upper level" item of the area that corresponds to the activity data (D), the system will display the descriptions and documents of the problem process and the respective activity that is running:
Process description: In this panel, the system will display the description entered in the process data (SE Process). This description may, for example, contain information about the use of the process in question in the organization.
Activity description: In this panel, the system will display the description entered in the activity data during the process modeling (SE Process). This description may, for example, contain information about what should be done during the execution of the activity, or what is expected to be achieved by performing the activity.
Process document: This panel displays the associated documents in the process data (Documentation Document). These documents can be used as normative documents, that is, they serve as templates for possible consultations. To do that, use the buttons on the side toolbar of each field to view the electronic file or document data.
Activity document: This panel displays the associated documents in the activity data (Documentation Document). These documents can be used as normative documents, that is, they serve as templates for possible consultations. To do that, use the buttons on the side toolbar of each field to view the electronic file or document data.
|
The forms section will only be displayed if a form is associated in the activity data (Configuration Form). Therefore, if the activity has been configured with a form, the first item displayed in the (B) section corresponds to the activity form.
By default, when there is an associated form, it will be selected by the system and may be enabled for filling or just for viewing, according to the configuration performed at the time of its association to the activity. If the "Show form only in activity execution" option is checked in the activity, the activity execution is only summarized by completing the form, that is, there will be no attributes or checklists to be filled out during the activity execution. In the case of a process with some automation, a new button will be displayed in the toolbar (Ribbon) to allow associating the required object, such as "Revision document".
The completion of the form will vary according to its modeling; however, in addition to the form fields, some containers may be enabled to be filled out:
▪Action plan: If the activity form in question is configured with an action plan container, then it is possible to plan a new action plan or associate an existing action plan as long as this association has been configured in the activity during process modeling in SE Process. If the container is configured but the action plan has been planned or associated with another problem activity, then the action plan will only be displayed for viewing on the form. ▪Loss event: If the operational risk controls have been enabled for the problem and if the form in the activity in question is configured with the respective container, then it will be possible to fill in the information regarding the operational loss. Remember that if the risk association is enabled in the activity, the risks can only be associated with the loss event container. ▪Cause analysis: If the activity form in question is configured with a cause analysis container, then it is possible to record the problem analysis, provided that this association has been configured in the activity during process modeling in SE Process.
Remember that, depending on the configurations set in the activity action during process modeling, the form will only be saved successfully provided it follows the configured rule.
|
|
The Attribute section will only be displayed if one or more attributes are associated with the activity data (Configurations Attribute). Therefore, enter the value of the attributes that complement the activity. Those attributes that are required must, necessarily, have their values filled in. Blocked attributes will be filled out by the system with the default value defined during the association with the activity of the process under execution. Remember that the procedure to fill out an attribute varies according to the configurations established when the attribute is created (SE Process).
|
The Checklist section will only be displayed if a checklist is associated with the activity data (Configurations Checklist). In the Checklist section, the system will display a list of questions that will help the responsible user to execute the activity properly. To answer them, select, from the corresponding column, the option that matches the desired answer for each question: Yes, No, or N/A. According to the configurations made at the time of the checklist creation (SE Process), the completion of the Comments field may be mandatory or not.
Remember that questions can be filled by the system with a Default answer, according to the configurations made at the time of the checklist creation.
|
|
The Requirement section will only be displayed if a requirement is associated in the activity data (Configuration Requirement). In the Requirement section, the system displays the requirements configured for the activity, with which the documents or attachments may be associated, according to the configuration set during its creation. To do this, click on the button, located in the Attachment/Document column and select the attachment/document that will be associated with the requirement.
It is important to point out that only the attachments and documents that were previously associated with the current activity will be available for selection. Use the remaining buttons in this column if necessary to add a new document/attachment, view or clear the selected document/attachment.
|
The Sub-activity section will only be displayed if, in the activity data (Configurations Instance), the "Allow creating sub-activities" option has been checked. In this section, it is possible to add complementary activities to be carried out during the execution of the problem.
For a better organization, these activities will be presented in structure form, below the activity of the problem that is running.
Check the "Wait for sub-activities execution so that current activity can be executed" option to define that sub-activities must be performed before the problem activity that is under execution. Use the side toolbar buttons, as necessary:
|
Click on this button to add a new sub-activity. It is important to point out that the data that must be entered and configured in a sub-activity are similar to the data entered in an estimated activity during process modeling. Thus, refer to the specific documentation of the SE Process component for more details on how to complete the fields on the data screen of an activity.
|
|
Click on this button to view the data of the selected sub-activity.

In the Cause analysis, it is possible to record the problem analysis. It will only be possible to perform the cause analysis if the "Cause analysis" option has been configured during the process modeling. The Cause analysis section may be displayed in the Navigation or Form panel of the activity: This section will be displayed on the form if a form modeled with the cause analysis container has been associated with the activity. Otherwise, this section will be displayed in the Navigation panel. Regardless of where the Cause analysis section is displayed, the analysis will occur in the same way, through the Analysis tools and Cause sections:
▪The Analysis tools section will only be displayed if the Analysis tool use is enabled in the problem type data (Cause analysis tab). ▪The Cause data may be filled out and/or required according to the configuration performed in the problem type data (Cause analysis tab). |
▪In the Analysis tools section, it is possible to record through the analysis tools available in SE Suite: 5 whys, FTA and Ishikawa. You may create a new analysis or associate an already existing analysis. To create a new analysis, just click on one of the tool options, while to associate an existing analysis, just click on the "Associate" option. For more details on how to perform an analysis, see the Creating an analysis tool section. ▪Through the Cause section, the causes associated with the analysis tool will be presented, but it is possible to register the causes without being associated with an analysis tool. This section allows the user to associate the root causes and potential causes of the problem along with the probability percentage that the cause has generated the problem in addition to the department responsible for the cause. It is worth remembering that if the analysis tool is removed, the causes associated with the tool will also be removed from this section. The following buttons are available in this section:
|
Click on this button to create a new cause. There is no need for an analysis tool to add the causes of the problem.
|
|
Click on this button to edit a cause. This button will only be displayed when selecting a cause registered in the Cause section. The causes associated with the tool can only be edited through the analysis tool.
|
|
Click on this button to view the cause information of the problem. This button will only display when selecting a recorded cause through the analysis tool.
|
|
Click on this button to delete a cause. This button will only be enabled when you select a cause registered in the Cause section. The causes associated with the tool can only be deleted through the analysis tool.

The inclusion of action plans in the problem is only possible if the association with SE Action Plan has been enabled during the process modeling. The Action plan section can be displayed in the Navigation or Form panel of the activity: This section will be displayed on the form if, in the configuration of the association, the container of the form in which the activity action plans are displayed is selected. Otherwise, this section displays in the Navigation panel.
Regardless of where the Action Plan section is being displayed, the addition of plans will occur in the same way, by means of the following buttons:
Add: Click on this button and select one of the following add options:
▪Action plan: On the screen that will be displayed select the type that will classify the action plan that you wish to add. Save the selection. At this point the action plan data screen will be displayed, allowing its configuration. ▪Action plan from a template: On the screen that will be displayed, locate and select the action plan that will serve as a template for the action plan you wish to add. Save the selection. At this point the action plan data screen will be displayed, allowing its configuration. ▪Isolated action: On the screen that will be displayed, locate the category that classifies the isolated action that will be created. Save the selection. At this point the data screen of the isolated action will be displayed, allowing its configuration. Associate: Click on this button and select one of the following association options:
▪Action plan: On the screen that will be displayed, locate and select the recorded action plan you wish to associate with the problem. ▪Isolated action: On the screen that will be displayed, locate and select the recorded isolated action that you wish to associate with the problem.
For this feature to function properly, the SE Action Plan component must have an active license key in SE Suite.
|
▪Refer to the specific documentation of the SE Action Plan component for more information on completing the data screen and configuring the structure of an action plan. ▪Adding or associating plans or isolated actions may not be available if the operations have not been enabled in the configuration of the integration with the action plan. ▪Remember that if it has been configured, the activity execution may be restricted by the system if the associated plan or isolated action does not meet the configurations for the integration with the action plan. ▪If during the process modeling the activity association configuration was selected the "Block manual closure of action plan planning" option, the manual closure of the action plan planning will be blocked. ▪If the activity is not configured to allow adding/associating plans and there is a plan associated with the instance, if the activity executor is responsible for the action plan or part of the responsible team, the action plan data screen will be displayed in edit mode; otherwise, the data screen is displayed in read-only mode. In the case of an isolated action, the activity executor must be responsible for the action or part of the responsible team. |
