Checkpoint Management allows Admins to update their checkpoints in a variety of ways:

  • Changing a checkpoint's visibility
  • Changing a checkpoint's priority
  • Changing a checkpoint's summary
  • Changing a checkpoint's description

Changing a checkpoint's visibility

You can change a checkpoint’s visibility to limit its appearance to certain users. Some use cases may include when an admin is testing a checkpoint. Additionally, an admin may want to hide a checkpoint because the issue cannot be resolved by a user, but still needs to be tracked.

To change a checkpoint’s visibility, follow these steps:

  1. From the Checkpoint Management page, select the checkpoint that you'd like to edit.

    AdminThis option restricts the checkpoint visibility to only admins and users with access to view admin-only checkpoints.

    A confirmation message displays to inform you that the checkpoint visibility has been updated.

Setting a checkpoint as Priority Checkpoint

Changing a checkpoint’s priority allows users to view all priority checkpoints in a singular view, aiding in focusing on the most important checkpoints. Only admins can change a checkpoint’s priority.

To change a checkpoint’s priority, follow these steps:

  1. From the Checkpoint Management page, select the checkpoint that you'd like to edit.

Changing a checkpoint's description

The checkpoint description is a new option that allows administrators to provide more information regarding a checkpoint. The checkpoint description is available from a link in areas of DQM where the checkpoint summary is visible.

When creating a description, we recommend including the following information:

  • Why a checkpoint is important 
  • How a user can resolve the issue highlighted by the checkpoint 
  • What quality topics the checkpoint affects 
  • An explanation on how the checkpoint works 
  • And any useful reference information 

Note: The default description for library checkpoints are based on your default setup. As checkpoints are customized, the descriptions should be updated.

To change a checkpoint descriptionfollow these steps:

  1. From the Checkpoint Management page, select the checkpoint you'd like to edit.
