Variants

When you are on the Compliance Check (Input Parameters) screen, you can save your selection of input parameters as a variant. Unlike the function Save as Default, the variant you save is not attached to the recipe or specification itself. Instead, you are defining a specific selection of constraints, which can be reused by anyone with any recipe or specification.

Integration

Once you have saved a variant, you can directly run the compliance check using a variant for any recipe or specification.

If you are displaying or changing a recipe or specification, choose Start of the navigation path Additional Functions Next navigation step Start Compliance Check with Variants End of the navigation path . Select one or more variants, and choose OK. The compliance check will be run for the recipe or specification with those specific input parameters that were defined for the variant.

A dialog box will be displayed with the overall compliance check results. Choose the unique ID of the compliance check results to view the Display Compliance Check Results screen.

Note Note

If you are running the compliance check with variants for a recipe, the data origin will be always Recipe. Where as, if you run a standard compliance check (without variants) for a recipe, you have the option of setting the data origin to either Recipe or Specification.

End of the note.
