Initiativesare notes that can be added to indicators. They point out some relevant observation about the indicator or even some action to be taken according to the status of the indicator.
Corrective actions worth performing are documented as initiatives and it is possible to trace them.
Information on initiatives consists of:
- Title: It identifies the initiative.
- Creation Date: It is automatically assigned at the time of entering the initiative.

There are three possible statuses, namely: "New", "In Process" or "Completed". - Responsible: It identifies the user responsible for the action
- Creator: It identifies the user who puts forward the initiative
- Description: It is informative text that describes the initiative.

The initiatives pane lets you add, modify and delete initiatives.

Once the data have been modified, you must use the "Close" button to confirm the changes of the initiative and you are taken back to the pane to enter initiatives, where the changes must be made permanent by clicking the "Apply" button.
