Run time

At run time, this graphic initially opens up with no characteristic data entry fields available. The initialization script will have completed and will show the sample ID of the RecentSample01.SampleID (which might not be the most recent sample if more than one recent sample group is exposed).

To begin using the graphic, click on the Initialize button, which will map all the inputs to the appropriate custom properties of up to five characteristics. The characteristic name, unit of measure, up to five input fields, and a Save button will appear for each characteristic.

The SampleID must be set to indicate what sample record for the characteristics is to be updated by the record results command. The sample ID can be any valid sample in the database that contains the same list of characteristics and does not have to be a sample that exists for the entity containing the SRO. If any of the characteristics have all the results collected (the number of results is equal to the maximum sample size), then no new data can be recorded for the characteristic.

Enter values for the result fields and click the Save button for each characteristic. For attribute characteristics, the first value is the count of defects and the second value is the number of samples tested. For variable characteristics, the input field will limit the value to between the upper and lower reasonable limits. The value will appear in red if it is outside the upper and lower specification limits (only if statistics are exposed for the characteristic).

Instead of clicking the individual Save buttons for each characteristic, you can record the data for all characteristics at once by clicking the Save All button.
