Group Test
The Group Test is used in Inspections to customize the layout of other Tests.
Settings
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Label | The display name shown to the operator during the Inspection. |
| Visible | Whether the Group Test and its Tests are shown to the operator in the Inspection. A Test's visibility does not affect validation or whether data is stored. |
| Script ID | Identifies how this Test is referenced in Inspection Scripts. |
| Border | Whether to display a visual border around the Test in the Inspection layout. |
| Freeze Test | If this Test is placed on the same row as a taller Test, this Test will not scroll off the screen until the taller Test scrolls off the screen. |
| Layout | The layout mode to use. See Layout Mode for available options. |
Using the Group Test
The Group Test is most commonly used when multiple tests need to be displayed vertically next to another test, such as these SPC Tests being displayed next to a single File/URL Test.
Group Tests can be nested as many times as desired, allowing for highly complex layouts.
The Group Test is also useful when a set of Tests need to be dynamically displayed multiple times. When a Group Test is copied in the Inspection Designer or in an Inspection Script, all Tests within the group are also copied.
Layout Mode
The Group test offers four layout modes. This is useful for creating layouts without gaps when utilizing dynamic inspections. The layout is not updated while editing an Inspection.
Each option includes the runtime result of the following Inspection at edit time:
Static
The tests do not automatically resize or move. This is the default.
Fill
Tests will expand to fill any empty space on the current row. They will not reposition between rows in the Group Test.
Collapse
Tests will reposition to the left to eliminate as much space as possible. The tests will not resize. Tests may move to previous rows if there is space.
Collapse and Fill
Tests will reposition to eliminate as much space as possible, and then resize to fill any remaining space. Tests may move to previous rows if there is space.
