Catalog

Definition

Used to group codes by content. Codes describe qualitative, textual subjects in coded form.

Use

In the Quality Inspection Engine (QIE), you can use codes in catalogs to describe findings.

Integration

The QIE uses catalogs in the consumer system. If you have made appropriate settings in the consumer system, you can change the catalogs in the QIE. However, you cannot create any catalogs in the QIE. To allow the QIE to access catalogs in the consumer system, you must make the required settings in Customizing of the QIE under Define Catalogs.

Catalog filters control which codes in a catalog are available for describing the finding based on the property value of the inspection document. You can set up a catalog filter so that your users can only use certain codes depending on the material. This is because, for example, different defects will be found when inspecting a computer than when inspecting a pen. You can specify catalog filters in finding types and in inspection rules.
