Searching for Problem Reports

Use the Search Problem Reports page to search the Problem Report Repository for reports matching given criteria. Enter the required criteria in one or more of the fields on the page, and press Search to find any matching reports. The more criteria you specify, the fewer reports will be returned. For sets of checkbox options, making no selection is the same as selecting all checkboxes.


3.1 General Search Options

The following search options are available to all users:

Final Resolution

Select the resolution type for reports to match, or select 'No Resolution Given' to select ALL resolutions. Alternatively give the Resolution Id of a specific Problem Report. Resolution Ids give the resolution type and the unique resolution number for all published reports. For example, TSD.0123 or INT.1234. The type codes are given below. Note that the resolution number is not the same as the internal Report Number which is assigned to all reports as soon as they are raised.
