Only the most important data for a characteristic is displayed on the characteristic single screen (depending on the recording form and the characteristic category). If you want to see more data for a characteristic, you can access overview screens or additional screens with qualitative or quantitative data for a characteristic.

Data on the characteristic is displayed in a shortened form on the detail screen. The middle screen area contains data about the sample size (to be inspected), the number of inspected single units, the number of defects, or the number of nonconforming units.

For a quantitative characteristic with measured value recording, the following additional statistics are displayed:

• Maximum value (Maximum), greatest valid value in the sample
• Mean value (x-bar)
• Standard deviation (s)
• Minimum value ( Minimum ), smallest valid value in the sample

For single-value recording these statistics are determined by the system; for summarized recording you enter them manually.

For quantitative characteristics with lower and/or upper tolerance limits the following values are also displayed:

• Number below/above: The number of inspected single units below or above the tolerance range
• Share below/above: Estimated share below or above the tolerance range

You can valuate and close a characteristic on the detail screen for a characteristic.
