Faults

Faults are basic building blocks of the system. It is important to understand how to edit them so that to organise information in a desired way.

Some faults might display text and visual information, others will have links to subfaults or other faults in the system.

Fault Types

There are different types of fault in the system, however the main ones are Standard and Resolution types. You can find out more about fault types here.

Steps

Once you are familiar with Standard type, it will be simple to understand how to edit other types, as interface elements will be common in all types. Main difference between Standard and Resolution faults is that the latter option will have sections or steps. You can find out more about steps here.

Prepare for editing

To minimise risk of breaking the tree while editing, especially in the live environment, it is good practice to copy the fault to an offline (playground) tree and deactivate it. This will disable users accessing the fault, while you are editing it. To find out how, please refer to learning path Applying changes to live fault (we recommend to finish with Editing a Fault learning path first).

Editing

Now you are ready to edit your fault. It is simple to edit the title, keywords, body text and images(videos). Once you know the basics, continue your journey to mastering associated objects. For Standard faults it will be useful to know how to add/edit subfaults.
