Investigating suspect dependencies

Items marked as suspect need to be reviewed because a related item changed. You can view the dependent items that caused the item to be marked as suspect and clear the suspect item if it does not need changes.

Tip: A flag icon indicates an item is marked as suspect. To display items marked as suspect, add the Is Marked as Suspect column to the list window and then filter or sort the list. See Changing list window columns and fonts and Filtering list window columns.

1. Select an item marked as suspect and choose Activities > Investigate Suspect Dependencies. You can also open a suspect item and click the Suspect flag displayed next to the status.

The Investigate Suspect Dependencies dialog box opens. All items that are causing the item to be suspect are displayed. The summary from the related item is displayed if the item was marked as suspect using a workflow event. If the item was manually marked as suspect, the summary is <manually marked as suspect>.

2. Select an item to view information entered when it was marked as suspect.

3. Select an item and click View Item to view it.

4. Select an item and click Clear Suspect to indicate the item is no longer suspect. See Clearing suspect items.

5. Click Close when you finish.
