This function is used to define all the possible responses to a question.

The response tables can be used in the technical sheets and the associated questions (see the Technical sheet, Question documentation), but also in the setup of the Configurator function.

Prerequisite

Screen management

A response table contains a code using three characters and a description. A grid is then used to describe all the possible values in this table.

Entry screen

Based on the table type, these responses can be either alphanumeric or numeric (with a maximum of 20 characters in both cases) and associated with a description code.

During a quality control, when the user responds to a question and where the response is checked against a response table, the system verifies that the response given belongs to the list of values that are associated with the question.

Block number 1

Response table (field TCT)

If the control type is "List of values", a control table must be provided to specify the possible answers to the question. This associated response table must be the same type as the question (alphanumeric or numeric).
In all other cases, this field cannot be entered.

field TCTDESAXX

This long description is used as a title in screens and reports.

By default the short title, the long title or the column header of a data are recorded (on creation/update) in the connection language of the user.
You can add your translation in another language using the Translation function:

  • Click Translation from the Actions icon in the corresponding field.
  • In the Translation window, add a new language code with the translation in this language.

A user who logs on with this language will view the short description, long description or column header in their connection language if a translation exists. Otherwise, these descriptions will be available in the folder language.

SEEINFO The connection language must be defined as a default language for thefolder.
