Bias-Free Language

The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

    Risk

    1. The risk involved in change: If the Dashboard fails to assign APs to a new profile, APs then require to be reloaded for change to take place.
    2. The risk of non-implementation of this change: The site continues to face issues in specific exam rooms which makes it difficult to see the patients.
    3. The impact of the change: If you disconnect on the WLAN, an engineer is on-site with the staff to test.
