Process Test
The Process Test is used in Inspections to set the Process stored with data and retrieved for Chart Tests.
All data must be stored with a Process.
Information
This is an Attribute Test. Attribute Tests can be placed in the Inspection Data panel and impact how other Tests store data.
An Attribute Test on a Sub-Inspection will only affect other Tests in that Sub-Inspection, while an Attribute Test in the Inspection Data panel will affect Tests on all Sub-Inspections.
Tip
If all data for an Inspection will only be stored for a single Process, set the Process property of the Inspection instead of using this Test.
Settings
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Label | The display name shown to the operator during the Inspection. |
| Visible | Whether the Test is shown to the operator in the Inspection. A Test's visibility does not affect validation or how data is stored. |
| Enabled | Whether the Test can accept user input. Disabling a Test can be useful when the value is set via scripting. |
| Script ID | Identifies how this Test is referenced in Inspection Scripts. |
| Required | Whether the operator must complete this Test before submitting the Sub-Inspection. |
| Process | The preset value of this Test. |
| 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. |
Using the Process Test
Warning
An error will occur if multiple Process Tests are added to the Inspection Data panel or a single Sub-Inspection.
Order of Precedence
Like other Attribute Tests, the Process Test can fall back from more specific to more general contexts. When storing data, the Process is determined based on the first available source in the following order:
- A Process Test on the same Sub-Inspection as the Test submitting the data.
- A Process Test in the Inspection Data panel.
- The Process set in the Inspection's settings.
- None, in which case an error will occur.
