What You Should Know

Displaying/Editing task list header

Header pushbutton

You can switch to the header detail screen of the inspection plan.

Displaying the test equipment overview

PRT overview pushbutton

You can switch to the test equipment overview of the operation.

If you have assigned test equipment to the operation and have set the Assign test equipment indicator, you can assign one of these items of equipment to the inspection characteristic.

Copying inspection characteristics within a task list and from other task lists

Copy characteristic... pushbutton

You can copy inspection characteristics from the same inspection plan (by setting the Current task list indicator) or from another inspection plan (enter data in the screen section Other task list on the selection screen) into the operation you are currently processing. To do this, you select the inspection characteristics you want to copy from the list created by the system

Displaying the overview of dependent characteristic specifications

Dependent characteristic specs pushbutton

You can switch to the overview of the dependent characteristic specifications.

Inserting an inspection characteristic between existing inspection characteristics

Insert insp. char. pushbutton

You can insert inspection characteristics between existing inspection characteristics.

Deleting an inspection characteristic

Delete insp. char . pushbutton

You can delete the inspection characteristics you have selected.

Copying inspection characteristics within an operation

Copy insp. char. pushbutton

You can copy inspection characteristics within the operation you are currently processing.

Unlocking master inspection characteristics

Unlock master. insp. char. pushbutton

You can unlock the inspection characteristics you have selected. The master inspection characteristics are then treated as copied inspection characteristics (this means you can make changes to the master inspection characteristics in the task list). The changes that you make in the master inspection characteristic do not affect the task list.

Displaying/editing general data for the inspection characteristic

General data details pushbutton

You can switch to the general data view for the inspection characteristic and:

Assign an inspection method
Assign test equipment
Define an additional characteristic ID in the field Characteristic ID, or change the existing characteristic description in the master inspection characteristic (if the master inspection characteristic was locked). This description identifies the characteristic during the electronic exchange of characteristic values.
Assign a data source in the field Data origin (for example, handheld application, quality certificate), from which the results data should be copied.

Editing quantitative data for the inspection characteristic

Quant.Data pushbutton

You can edit the quantitative data for an inspection characteristic.

Assigning selected sets, defect codes and additional catalogs to the inspection characteristic

_. Catalogs pushbutton

You can assign selected sets and code groups to the inspection characteristic .

If an inspection characteristic is rejected on the basis of its valuation in results recording, the system automatically creates a defect record for the inspected item. These defect records can then be processed further in the form of quality notifications. Make sure that the Defects recording control indicator is set for the inspection characteristic.
If you have entered a defect code, you can display this code using the Display defect code pushbutton.

You can assign several catalogs to an inspection characteristic (for example, defect location).

Assigning sampling procedures to an inspection characteristic

Sample pushbutton

You can assign sampling procedures and dynamic modification rules to the inspection characteristic.

Editing control indicators

Control indicators pushbutton

You can edit the control indicators that characterize the inspection characteristic.
