Issues are where disorders and rejections are collected in the resource manager. A disorder should be used when something happens to an element that calls for an action before the element can be said to be completed. An example of a disorder could be a small defect  A rejection should be used when an element is deemed as possible to repair. If an element is to be scrapped, a rejection should be used. In figure 1, the issues tab is shown. The two subtabs, rejections and disorders are basically identical in layout.
