Understanding the Problem Log Display

There are nine types of problems listed in the Problem Log. Each type of problem has an icon associated with it.

For example, a stethoscope is used to identify health- related problems. As you become more familiar with using the log, you will learn which icon is associated with a particular type of problem.

Problems are also categorized by severity. A single exclamation mark () indicates a low level of severity, while two () and three ( ) exclamation marks indicate a moderate and high level of severity, respectively.

Each problem listed has a unique problem ID and a short description of the problem that was found.

Table 6-1 lists the types of problems you can see and their associated icons.
