In this module, users can access a list of all CAPAs created using the application.

Search Panel

All fields inside the search panel act as search boxes. Any value inputted inside them will be used as search criteria to filter and retrieve data from the grid, if possible.

  1. CAPA ID: This is a text field that allows users to filter by CAPA ID.
  2. CAPA Name: This is a text field that allows users to filter by the name of the CAPA.
  3. Event Type: This is a single-select dropdown field that allows users to filter by event type.
  4. Business Division: This is a single-select dropdown field that allows users to filter by business division.
  5. Business Line: This is a single-select dropdown field that allows users to filter by business line.
  6. Filter: This button filters the results according to the entered search criteria.
  7. Clear Filter: This button clears the filters that were used in the previous search and allows users to again view the full data set.

Grid

Inside the grid, CAPAs are organized by values derived from the CAPA workflow.

  • View ( ): This button allows users to view a CAPA.
    • In viewing mode, users cannot make any modifications. They can, however, download attached files, view details in supplemental forms, and access/download any available templates.

Status Tracker – Feature Highlights

The Status Tracker column provides visibility into the phases of issue escalation across various QMS applications, including Audit, Quality Event (QE), CAPA, and Incident.

The column displays:


  • Origin of Escalation: Indicates where the issue started (e.g., Audit, QE, or Incident).
  • Destination of Escalation: Indicates where the issue has been escalated to (e.g., CAPA).
  • Current Phase: Indicates the current phase of the issue within the escalated application.
  • Associated IDs: Provides relevant IDs for quick reference, such as Audit ID or CAPA ID.



To simplify tracking, the Status Tracker consolidates workflow stages from the Incident, QE, and CAPA applications into broader phases, allowing users to grasp the overall progress without being overwhelmed by granular details.

The table below outlines each application’s workflow stages and the phases they fall under in the Status Tracker:
