Common Issues and Troubleshooting
When an apparatus from a Pending Authorization report is edited from the list, once the change is saved its status changes to Incomplete.
This was added to avoid authorizing the report from the list without validating the changes, which can lead to authorize reports with empty or incorrect times.
To this, a log will be added to the history to keep track of status changes.
When a user closes the tab where they had an apparatus open from the list, this apparatus remains locked within the report.
The only way to unlock it is for the user who closed the tab to go back to the list, edit the locked device, and close the form again. In the coming weeks, we will release an update to mitigate this problem by showing which user is the one who has blocked the report.

For the CAD Refresh option, if we have at least one device locked, it will not allow a refresh until the device is closed.

For the Not Started reports, the Apparatus icon from the list won't be available.
