Questions
This function is used to define the questions that are then called to construct the technical sheets or quality records (see the Technical sheet record)
A question can be used by several technical sheets.
Prerequisites
Refer to documentation Implementation
Screen management
Entry screen
The screen for entering questions will allow you:
- To define the type of answer that it will be possible to make to the question,
- To limit the responses with the terminals and formulas associated if necessary,
- To allow responses out standard and, if necessary, to enter a new plug,
- To group the questions thematically,
- To allow, or not, the impression
Block number 1
Question (field QSTNUM) |
Questions can be used in the management of quality records, and they enable the entry of setups (answers) in the quality control functions and production tracking. |
field QSTDESAXX |
The description of the question can be automatically recovered upon creation of the technical sheets |
Short description (field QSTSHOAXX) |
Enter the short description. 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.
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.

Type
Response type (field DEMASWTYP) |
A question is characterized with a response type. This one introduces a standardization of the response setup entries and conditions the entry of the different elements of the question. The response can be of the following type:
If the response type is "date" or "yes/no", the sections control type and off-standard response cannot be entered.
|
Control type (field DEMCTLTYP) |
The control type can take the following values:
|
Definition
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). |
Formula (field STRVALFOR) |
It is possible to associate formulas to the value ranges, for example, to search a specific field in the product record. The aim of these formulas is to value a field to express a range. Click on the Formula sensitive area to record the formula. The "Quality-question records" formula type MUST be used. |
Start range (field STRVAL) |
Value range of 20 alphanumerical characters. This area can be associated to a formula in order to refine the search. |
Formula (field ENDVALFOR) |
It is possible to associate formulas to the value ranges, for example, to search a specific field in the product record. The aim of these formulas is to value a field to express a range. Click on the Formula sensitive area to record the formula. The "Quality-question records" formula type MUST be used. |
End date (field ENDVAL) |
Value range of 20 alphanumerical characters. This area can be associated to a formula in order to refine the search. |
Nominal value (field NMNVAL) |
This alphanumeric area allows you to add the limit value. Specify the average value, or the target value.

Answer
Nonstandard response (field OSDASW) |
If it is allowed to enter an out-of-standard answer, this means that:
A locking type can then be introduced to underline a non-conformity with respect to the specifications. |
Blocking type (field LOKTYP) |
If the box Authorized miscellaneous answer is ticked, it is possible to introduce a blocking of the lot or of the work order:
The non standard answer reveals a product quality problem. |
New record (field RPLQLYCRD) |
This field is available only if the user has selected "New record" as blocking type. If the lot is not complying, you must specify the name of a new quality record. |
Default response (field DEFASW) |
The default response is not mandatory, but if it is entered, it must be of the same type as the response type. |
Unit (field UOM) |
Unit of measure
|
Decimals (field UOMDEC) |
This field specifies the maximum number of decimal places granted to the answer when is has numeric type. |
Grouping (field GPG) |
Click on the Grouping appreciable field and choose the appropriate grouping mode to favor an implementation print of the questions. |
Printing (field PRNCOD) |
The user has to check the "Print" box in order for this question to be displayed on the quality control documents. |
