4. To edit an existing type, click  .


5. Make the desired changes, then click Save and close form.



Tip: If you are going to make extensive changes to the structure and have a lot of registered non-conformances, it is recommended to make the types inactive. If you want to make minor changes such as changes to the wording, but the purpose of the type is to remain the same, edit the type rather than creating a new one.

The order of the types is displayed alphabetically in the list. To control the order in which the non-conformance types appear, place a number before the name. If there are to be more than 9 non-conformance types, use 01 so that the order is correct.

Note: It is not possible to delete a type if there are non-conformances registered with that type.
