Use

In the transactions for maintaining and displaying certificate profiles, additional functions are available for use. You can access these functions on the header data screen or the characteristic screen.

Features

You can use the following functions:

Function

Menu path

What you should know

Display the certificate preview

(Master data screen) Extras ® Certificate view

You can simulate the creation of a certificate using an existing delivery and actual data from the material, batch, and inspection lot, as well as the characteristic data from an inspection or batches. For the simulation, you can either create a test printout or display the certificate on screen.

If not all the data can be found, the system documents this in a log. You can view the most recent log by choosing Extras ® Last log. If the log contains only one message, it is displayed immediately as a system message.

Display profile assignments

Environment ® Display assignments

Before you can use a certificate profile, it must be assigned to an object, such as a material, material group, or a combination of material/customer. All assignments are displayed that are valid as of the current date.

Display administrative data for the certificate profile

Extras ® Administrative data

This data includes the name of the user who created or changed the certificate and the date on which the certificate was created or changed.

Display profile versions

Extras ® Versions

This list of profile versions contains the version number and the date on which the version was created.

Display a form

Environment ® Form ® Display

You can assign a new form to the profile by using the function to change a profile.

Display the available languages for the form

Environment ® Form ® Languages

The system displays one line for each available language in a window. In addition to the available languages, each line contains the description of the profile and language in which the form was created (original language).

Display text elements for the form

Environment ® Form ® Text elements

The system displays the following information for each text element:

  • The name of the window in which the element is used.
  • The number of lines used by the text element.

The system also displays text elements that do not have a name (that is, those that were not explicitly defined in the form).

Display form variables

Environment ® Form ® Variables

You can access a list of all text variables used in the form. The variables serve as placeholders that are replaced with text when the certificate is created and the corresponding data is found.

Display change documents

Extras ® Change documents

Changes to the data are documented in the change documents for released certificate profiles. You can switch to the list of the individual changes made to each field using Choose.
