Action log entries are created when the "Post an entry to the Quality Action Log" action is invoked. See: Message Actions.
Consider the following action rule and its associated actions:
| Action Rule: | When a critical measurement is outside the upper and lower specification limits then |
| Action 1: | Put a job on hold. |
| Action 2: | Post an entry to the Quality Action Log |
In this example, two actions are linked to a single rule. When the rule is evaluated and the actions invoked, the text that was entered for the "Post an entry to the Quality Action Log" action is automatically written to the Quality Action Log.
Action log entries are also created when an action being processed in background mode fails. See: QA:Action Mode Processing.
Define a "Post an entry to the Quality Action Log" action. See: Defining Collection Element Actions and Defining Collection Plan Element Actions.
Enter quality results that satisfy the action rule (this will invoke the related action). See: Entering Quality Results Directly.
