Home > eICS > Guide - Improvement Plan > Change an Action Item's Status


You can change an action item's status. This helps you track not only the item, but also the completeness of the parent issue.

You can access action items from either the Issue View or the Action View. Once you have the issue open, you can change the status. Status changes are recorded and available from the issue's history.

Note: Improvement issues and their action items can be accessed from the Home page, as described in this procedure, or from the Incident Dashboard (select the Improvement Plan tab).
