1. Set Attributes—Identifies the problem report and descriptive attributes.
2. Select Affected End Items—Identifies the end items that are affected by the change request. If the selected object is a part that is an end item, the part is automatically listed in the Affected End Items table. Also, if the change request is created without selecting any objects, the end item of the product is assumed to be a default affected end item and will be automatically included in the Affected End Items table.
3. Select Affected Objects—Identifies the affected local and external objects, such as parts, documents and external objects, that are associated with the problem report.
4. Set Attachments—Manages associated file attachments. Files in the context of the problem report can be added, updated, deleted, or viewed.
5. Select Associations—Identifies associated process and reference objects. The process and reference objects support local and external change objects.
