      <Paragraph>If users perform particular actions on objects, for example, to
		lock a folder, or to reject a change proposal, the user receives a message to
		enter the reason for the action. You must select the reason from a list of
		predefined reasons. Each action for which reasons can be specified has a list
		of valid reasons.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph>The ODM administrator must set up lists of valid reasons for
		various actions. If lists of reasons are defined, the object type on which the
		action is performed, together with the action code for the actions, identifies
		the action with which the list is associated.</Paragraph>
