# Event Summary

## The Event Summary provides a complete, at-a-glance view of an ACT Event and its entire lifecycle, from creation through close-out. It displays all Event details, stage statuses, action items, attachments, and role player activity in a single scrollable page, making it the go-to reference for tracking the progress of any Event.

### **How to Access the Event Summary**

The Event Summary can be accessed from two places:

**From the Event Details screen:**  
Click **View Summary** in the toolbar at the top of any Event in the In Process or Completed folder.

**From an assigned task:**  
When completing an assigned ACT task from your Frontline Desktop, click **View Event Summary** before taking action to review the full context of the Event before making a decision.

### **What's on the Event Summary**

#### **Event Workflow Progress Bar**

At the top of the summary, a visual workflow diagram shows all stages of the Event lifecycle and highlights the current active stage. Completed stages are indicated with a checkmark, and the current stage is highlighted so you can see exactly where the Event stands at a glance without opening each stage individually.

Stages displayed include:

- [New](https://help.fldata.com/kb/act-event-stage-new?hsLang=en)
- [Collaboration](https://help.fldata.com/kb/act-event-stage-collaboration?hsLang=en)
- [Approval](https://help.fldata.com/kb/act-event-stage-approval?hsLang=en)
- [Implementation](https://help.fldata.com/kb/act-event-stage-implementation?hsLang=en)
- [Close Out](https://help.fldata.com/kb/act-event-stage-close-out?hsLang=en)

#### **Event Information**

The top section of the summary displays the core Event details entered at creation, including:

- **Title** and **Event Number**
- **Category** and **Form**
- **Originator** and **Team Leader**
- **Current Stage**
- **Priority** and **Division**
- **Account** and **Work Order Number**
- **Approval Start Date** and **Implementation Start Date**
- **Estimated Cost** and **Cost Comments**

#### **General**

Displays the descriptive fields entered when the Event was created:

- **Description** – A summary of the Event.
- **Equipment Affected** – Any equipment involved in or impacted by the Event.

#### **Event Details**

Displays the completed Smart Form associated with the Event, showing all fields and responses entered by the user when the Event was submitted. This includes any radio button selections, checkbox answers, and free text responses captured on the form. This section provides the complete record of what was reported at the time of submission and is useful for auditing and review purposes.

#### **Attachments**

Lists all documents attached to the Event, organized by the stage in which they were uploaded. Each entry shows the **Event Stage**, **File Name**, **Date**, and who uploaded it. Attachments can be clicked to open and review the document directly from the summary.

An **Add Attachment** button is available in the upper right corner of the section, allowing role players to upload additional supporting documents directly from the summary view without navigating back into the Event.

#### **Additional Forms**

Displays any supplemental forms that have been added to the Event beyond the primary Event form. An **Add New Form** button in the upper right corner allows authorized users to attach additional forms to the Event directly from the summary.

#### **Collaboration**

Displays all Collaborators and their participation in the review in a table showing:

- **Collaborator** name.
- **Order**, **Status**, and **Action**.
- **Action By**, **Date**, and **Comments**.

A **View All Comments** button appears in the upper right corner of the section, opening a consolidated view of all comments and attachments left by Collaborators during the Collaboration stage. A checkmark on the left side of the section header indicates the Collaboration stage is fully complete.

#### **Approval**

Displays all Approvers and their decisions in a table showing:

- **Approver** name.
- **Order**, **Status**, and **Action taken** (Approve, Disapprove, or Pending).
- **Action By**, **Date**, and **Comments**.

If an Approver added comments when taking action, those comments are visible here, providing a full audit trail of the approval decision process. A checkmark on the left side of the section header indicates the Approval stage is fully complete.

#### **Implementation**

Displays all Action Items associated with the Event's Implementation stage in a table showing:

- **Action Item** name — clickable to view the details of the action item.
- **Assigned To** and **Order**.
- **Type** (Critical or Non-Critical) and **Priority**.
- **Risk Ranking**, **Status**, and **Action**.
- **Action By**, **Action Date**, **Due Date**, and **Comments**.

Action items marked as **Critical** must be completed before the Event can move forward. Action items marked as **Non-Critical** must be completed before the Event can be fully closed out. The **Priority** and **Risk Ranking** fields provide additional context about the urgency and severity of each action item, helping teams prioritize their work. A checkmark on the left side of the section header indicates all Implementation action items are complete.

#### **Event Notes**

A free-text section where any role player can add notes to the Event at any time throughout its lifecycle. Notes are date and time stamped and attributed to the person who added them. Click **Add Note** in the upper right corner of the section to add a new note. Notes are useful for capturing context, decisions, or communications that don't belong in a specific action item or form field.

---

### **Toolbar Options**

From the Event Summary, the following actions are available in the top right corner of the page:

- **Show All Forms** – Displays all Smart Forms attached to the Event in a single view, useful for reviewing all completed forms at once.
- **Print** – Opens a print-friendly version of the Event Summary, which can be saved as a PDF or printed for physical records.
- **Share** – Generates a shareable link to the Event Summary that can be sent to stakeholders who need to review the Event but may not have direct access to the system.
