You use this function to display the conditional characteristics for a controlling characteristic. The controlling characteristic is the previous required characteristic in the same operation.

You define a conditional characteristic with the control indicators After acceptance and After rejection in the inspection characteristic. In this way, you have defined whether the inspection characteristic is to be inspected when the controlling characteristic is accepted or rejected. Depending on the valuation of the controlling characteristic, you inspect or skip the conditional characteristic accordingly, so the controlling characteristic can be closed.

• The controlling characteristic is accepted. You can close the controlling characteristic without having to process the conditional characteristic.
• The controlling characteristic is rejected. You must first valuate the conditional characteristic so the controlling characteristic can be closed.
