## Electronic Failure Catalogue

The **Electronic Failure Catalogue** (EFC) is generated automatically in the system based on information from **Multimedia** objects of scope Loss and the associations between **Multimedia** objects and loss **Reasons**. This information is used to create a visually structured catalogue, which is also used when recording **Material** losses.

!!! warning
	The generation of the image catalogue is done automatically, but it may take several minutes to complete. The EFC tree update requires a refresh of the navigation pane.
