Understand sample naming and replaceable parameters

The naming convention for the sample plan at run time consists of replaceable parameters enclosed in square braces and/or literal text.

An example sample naming format is:

[SamplePlanName][YYYY][MM][DD][####]

where

• [YYYY][MM][DD] represents the date

• [####] represents the unique ordinal number, when the rest of the name (except the date) is the same

• The SamplePlanName is taken from the plan_id field in the database.

The available database fields that can be referenced are:

• plan_name

  Specifies the name of the sample plan that is used for collecting samples.

• ent_ name

  Specifies the entity at which samples are being collected.

• wo_id

  Specifies the work order of the job for which samples are being collected.

• oper_id

  Specifies the operation for which samples are being collected.

• seq_no

  Specifies the sequence number of the job for which samples are being collected.

• segment_requirement_id

  Specifies the segment requirement of the samples collected.

• segment_response_id

  Specifies the segment response of the samples collected.

• item_id

  Specifies the item to which the samples collected are assigned.

• char_name

  Specifies the characteristic of a QM specification to which the sample plan is associated. If there are more than one characteristic linked to the sample, only the first characteristic in the sample is used.

• qm_spec_name

  Specifies a QM specification associated with the sample plan.

• freq_name

  Specifies a frequency that is linked to the sample plan.
