1. The Add Defect page can be accessed different ways depending on your current task.
2. Once you've reached the Add Defect screen, you will be asked to first of all input details of the item, then attach anything you feel appropriate to the defect (for example - this can be a photo of the defective item or error message).
3. Next you will reach the Deferral Options screen. To choose to make an advisory defect you will need to select "Other". In future versions of the app, you will not have to make this selection.
