Overview of Issue Manager
Issue Manager is a module within EQMS. This software tool equips issues managers and issues solution providers with a means to keep informed about issues so that they are optimally managed. As well as storing the prime details of issues, it can attach supporting documents, maintain journals against issues, and drive workflows to achieve issues resolution. In support of these functions, facilities are provided to classify issue types, use pre-loaded data about companies and contacts, classify information sources, review all associated documents, set up pre-defined workflows and action types, classify statuses, change screen labels, set trigger levels, etc. The flexibility of the system means that you can always create new and/or amend assets, settings and information to meet your current Issue Management needs
