How to close a Defect

Select the Defect that you are planning to rectify.

Next, select the planned date by clicking here.

Next, select the calendar icon to choose a date and select date you are planning to close the Defect on.

If you are planning on closing this Defect on the next service, select the check box.

NOTE: This should not be selected if the Defect is a Category 1 Defect as Category 1 is an urgent and high priority item.
