  1. Enter values in all fields of a table line.

  2. Using the field help, you can get information on the format and template of the individual values.

    Using the possible entries help, you obtain the following data on separate screens in the following sequence:

    – A default value, provided it has been defined in the process instruction

    – Allowed values, provided that allowed individual values, value ranges, a value assignment function, or value table have been allocated to the characteristic in Customizing

    – Matchcodes, provided that a matchcode object has been allocated to the characteristic in Customizing

    Choose Further values to go to the next possible entries screen.

  3. When you have entered the input values, choose Continue .

  4. If an input validation is defined for the values, your entries are now checked for validity. Depending on the results of these checks, processing is continued as follows:

    – If the system did not find any errors, the values are copied to the PI sheet and a new table line is displayed. Continue as in step 5.

    – If you have entered an invalid value, a warning is displayed. Continue as in step 3.

  6. Change to correct the value

    The input value is then marked by a special symbol in the PI sheet.

    After the value has been copied, a new table line is displayed on the overview screen of the PI sheet.

  9. If you want to enter further values, repeat steps 1 to 4.

You need to fill in at least the minimum number of table lines defined in the process instruction. Otherwise, you will not be able to sign the process step.

You can no longer add new table entries:

– After the maximum number of lines defined for the table in the control recipe has been reached

– After you have entered a signature below the table

From within the PI sheet, you can display the signatures executed in the PI sheet any time. For more information, see Displaying Digital Signatures .
