Root Cause Analyses can have one of the states in the following list. The number in parentheses indicates the value in the State field that corresponds to each state. Only the name of the state will appear on the RCA Overview page. The numbers are not displayed in Root Cause Analysis:
- In Progress (0): Indicates that an RCA has not yet been completed. Only Meridium Enterprise APM users who are members of the RCA Team and members of the MI PROACT Administrator Security Group can view and modify an RCA when it is in the In Progress state. RCA Analyses will remain in the In Progress state until the Principal Analyst publishes the analysis. Additionally, a Published RCA that is unpublished will return to the In Progress state.
- Published (1): Indicates that an RCA has been completed. After the RCA is complete, the Principal Analyst can publish the analysis, which will assign the Published state to the analysis and populate the Date Published field in the RCA Analysis record with the date on which it was published. When an RCA is published, Meridium Enterprise APM users, regardless of whether they are members of the analysis team or not, will have read-only access to the RCA as long as they have the following security permissions:
- View privileges to all RCA Analysis families, including the RCA Analysis Relationships and RCA System Relationships families.
- Insert privileges on the RCA Analysis family.
- Update privileges on the RCA Image family.
If a Published RCA is unpublished, the RCA will return to the In Progress state, but the value in the Date Published field will not be updated until the analysis is published again.
- Template (2): Indicates that an RCA has been produced from an existing analysis using the Produce Template link. RCA Analyses in the Template state are identical to Root Cause Analyses that are in the In Progress state, except that they do not have an analysis team defined.
Super Users, members of the MI PROACT Administrators Security Group, and Principal Analysts can transition analyses to the Template state.
- Only Super Users and members of the MI PROACT Administrators Security Group can modify an RCA Analysis that is in the Template state.
