Problem Report Summary Listing

A Problem Report Summary Listing page is returned after a search for problem reports has been carried out. It presents a summary of each matched report, shown in a table with columns that can be sorted by clicking the column headers. Each Problem Report shown in the list can be viewed in detail by clicking on the Problem Report Number shown in the first column.

The information shown in the summary table is described below.
