Prerequisites

   Create a collection plan. See: Creating Collection Plans.

   To find collection plans:

1. Navigate to the Enter Quality Results window.

2. Select a collection plan.

You can only select a collection plan that has a current effective date. If a default collection plan has been specified, it is automatically selected. See: QA:Default Collection Plan.

You can use the Find Plan button or the standard list of values to find and select a collection plan. Once you have selected a collection plan, you can use the previous plan/next plan arrow buttons, located to the right of the collection plan name, to scroll to another valid collection plan. See: Using a List of Values.

If you select a collection plan that requires that you find and assign a specification, the Find Specifications window appears. See: Finding Specifications While Entering Results Directly.

   To optionally find and assign specifications:

• From the Enter Quality Results window, choose the Find Specs button. The Find Specifications window appears. See: Finding Specifications While Entering Quality Results Directly.

   To enter quality results values:

1. In the Results region, enter one or more results records. The following mechanisms can be used to simplify data entry:

Default value: Default values, if defined, are automatically displayed. They can be overridden. See: Default Value Assignment Rules.

Lists of Values: You can choose results values from a list of values if defined. See: Defining Collection Plan Element ValuesModifying a List.

Duplication: You can duplicate fields and records. Duplicated records and fields can be changed as required. See: Duplicating Data From a Previous Record.

Attention: The Prompts entered when defining the collection elements are displayed as the column headings.

You must enter results values for mandatory collection plan elements. See: Context Element Dependencies.

2. Save your work. See: Saving Your Work.

Attention: If you save your work using Save and Proceed, the current results are cleared and the Collection Number counter is incremented. You can continue to enter results for the same collection plan and, if assigned, specification.

   To view collection plan or specification attachments while entering quality results:
