Attachments for Collection Plans, Specifications and Result Lines

You can attach illustrative or explanatory files -- in the form of text, images, word processing documents, spreadsheets, video, graphics, OLE objects, and so on -- to collection plans and specifications. You can also attach files to individual quality results line records.

Collection Plan Attachments

For example, if you create Microsoft Word documents containing standard operating procedures, ISO 9000 quality procedures, inspection instructions, or disposition procedures, you can attach these documents to related collection plans. You can also attach video clips that illustrate how to perform an inspection, take a reading, or calibrate a machine to collection plans for training purposes. You can view collection plan attachments as you enter, view, and update quality results.

Specification Attachments

For example, if you have electronic documents such as an engineering specification document, a scanned image of a product or process specification, a CAD drawing, or a supplier contract, you can attach these documents to specifications. You can view specification attachments only as you enter quality results.

Result Line Attachments

For example, an inspector that rejects an item because of a visible flaw can attach a picture or detailed description of the flaw to the results line record. Result line attachments can then be viewed and analyzed prior to taking corrective actions.
