Rating Test
The Rating Test is used in Inspections to collect DMS data on a Likert scale.
Settings
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Label | The display name shown to the operator during the Inspection. This will also be stored as the data record's Test Label for analysis. |
| Visible | Whether the Test is shown to the operator in the Inspection. A Test's visibility does not affect validation or whether 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. |
| Options | The buttons and associated Defects to show during the Inspection. Read more about Setting Up Options. |
| Sample Size | The number of physical parts that are being inspected. If an option with a Defect is selected during the Inspection, the entire sample will be marked as defective (the defect count will be set to the sample size). |
| NCU Count on Failure | The number of physical parts that should be marked as Non-Conforming Units (NCUs) if the Test fails. |
| Test Specific Traceability | Selected Traceability and values which only apply to this Test. |
| Store Data | Determines how validity checks are performed and whether the values in this Test are submitted to GS when the Sub-Inspection is saved. If Store Data is selected, validity checks are performed and data is submitted. If Do Not Store Data is selected, validity checks are performed but data is not submitted. If Bypass Validity and Do Not Store is selected, validity checks are not performed and data is not submitted. |
| Note Button | Whether the button allowing the operator to enter notes is displayed and whether a note is required to be entered. See the related property in Sub-Inspections and Inspections. |
| Alert | The Alert to send if a real-time failure occurs in 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. |
Setting Up Options
The Rating Test can be configured with as many options as needed. Click Add Option to create a new rating level, and use the Delete Option button to remove any unwanted options.
For each option, enter a button label and select its button colors. If selecting that option during an Inspection should record a Defect, choose the appropriate Defect.
Real-Time Failures
Real-Time Failures are evaluated when the browser focus leaves the Test. During this calculation, the Test will enter a temporary loading state. The specific real-time checks which are performed are based on the Real-Time Failure Groups set on the Process associated with the Test.
If a real-time failure is found, the Test's background will turn red and the real-time failure will be displayed.
Adding a Note
The Note button can be clicked to open an overlay to enter a note for this Test. This note can be included in Data Tables and can be used in Filters.
A note will be required if this Test has a real-time failure and the Note Button property is set to require notes. If the note is required but has not been entered, the Submit button may still be enabled for the Sub-Inspection. Submitting the Sub-Inspection will open an overlay and the user will be required to enter all missing notes before data is submitted.
Linked Charts
The Rating Test can be linked to the Chart Test to give a historical context for values.
