Checklists

About Checklists

In the Application Settings for MOC, you can create Checklists for various purposes. For example, you can create a checklist for temporary changes, a checklist for permanent changes, a checklist for planning, a checklist for post implementation assessment, and so on. In the Change Project, based on your needs, you can add one or more of Checklists to the project. Checklists created in the Application Settings are used as a template when you add them to the Change Project.

When you add a Checklist to a Change Project, GE Digital APM creates copies of the Checklist and the associated Questions and Answer Options. The Change Project is then associated with the copy of the Checklist. This ensures that any changes to the original Checklist do not affect the Change Project.
