Plans using the Misc. checklist can still be used for all modules except the Plan Documents module.

The sections in each checklist will vary depending on the checklist type. To view the questions in each section, you can expand all, expand all applicable or by section. 

Expand All - will display all checklist questions even if they are not applicable from a response of another checklist questions. 

Expand All Applicable - will display only questions that are appliable based on responses to another checklist question. 

Expand by Section - to display one section at a time, you can click on the section name to expand. 

After making an entry or selection in the checklist, the software will auto save once you move your cursor or press the Tab key. Once you have made all your entries in the checklist, the next step is to run the Edit Checks. 

At the top of the checklist, you can edit check all sections by clicking on the yellow triangle next to "Edit Check All Status". 

An Edit Checks pop-up window will generate by section notifying you if that section has passed the edit checks, has errors or warnings that need your attention. 

Red Circle with X -  indicates an error to be corrected. 

Yellow Triangle -  indicates a warning that you should take note of. 

Green Check Mark - indicates the checklist is passing.
