Specs Tab

A specification provides guidelines for a measurement or setting that will be needed during a job. A specification can include minimum, maximum, and set point (standard or typical) values, as well as files and instructions. The actual value for this measurement or setting is recorded once for the job; it is used either at one point during the job or lasts throughout the job. (Values that vary throughout the job are recorded using the Data Log tab; see Data Log Tab.) Specifications can also be assigned to a particular step within a job.

The Specs tab shows the specifications assigned to the active job, but not assigned to any particular step. Using this tab, you can consult the minimum, maximum, and set point values, as well as any attached files or comments/instructions. You enter actual values for the active job in the Current Value column. With the appropriate user privileges, you can also change the specification guidelines, for this job only or for all subsequent jobs.
