Function documentationSelection Criteria

 

When you create or change a worklist, you specify the selection criteria for the issues or activities to be listed.

Features

The most important selection criterion for a worklist is the object category. All other entries for the selection criteria depend on which object category you have selected. A worklist for quality notifications, for example, requires different entries - in particular for the issue ID - than a worklist for FMEA defect items.

In combination with the object category, the source system is mandatory for the selection.

To improve performance when selecting entries, you can specify the maximum number of hits to be displayed in the result list for the combination of source system and object category. You should make your entry dependent on the capacity of the respective source system.

To get a harmonized view in a list with different source systems and different object categories, the following selection criteria are particularly important:

  • Issue Type

    So a user can select all issue types from various systems in the same manner in his or her worklist, you can store a list of issue types across all systems and, if necessary, a mapping in Customizing. For more information, see Customizing for QIM under Start of the navigation path Worklists for Quality Issues and Activities Next navigation step Define Access to Quality Issue Types End of the navigation path.

  • Status

    For a selection of the status of issues and activities across all systems, some statuses are automatically converted by the system. This conversion is stored in Customizing for the object category in a structure mapping.

Activities

  1. You create a worklist for the combination of object category and source system (multiple selection is also possible). Here, you can specify the number of hits displayed per combination.

  2. In addition, you can restrict the worklist using other selection criteria and thus list only those quality issues, for example, for which a specific user is responsible.

  3. You change the selection criteria for an existing worklist under Change Worklist if you have authorization to do this. With centrally defined worklists that you did not create yourself, it is possible that you are not permitted to change the selection criteria.

  4. For more information about the individual selection criteria, choose More Field Help in the respective context menu (right mouse button).

  5. When searching using the input help for a selection criterion, you can copy several values from a table or a text editor and paste them in a field. You can also paste value intervals. In both cases, the respective number of new rows are inserted for the copied values where these values are entered.

  6. If problems occur with the selection of data, you can display the relevant messages in the list display under Start of the navigation path Logs Next navigation step Worklist End of the navigation path.
