 #From the Problem list, you have the following options:
 #*Edit person – Highlight a problem row and click this button to view the Edit Person dialog to investigate the cause of the problem. You may need to view several problems that seem related to discover where the root problem lies. If you discover the cause, you can fix it. However, you will have to run Problem Search again to confirm the problem has been cleared.
