Traceability Test
The Traceability Test is used in Inspections to assign a value to a specific Traceability field. This value is stored with submitted data, used to filter real-time failure checks, and applied when retrieving data for Chart Tests.
To learn more, read the in-depth guide on collecting Traceability.
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.
Settings
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Traceability | The Traceability field to store with data. |
| 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. |
| Value | The preset value of this Test. |
| Restricted | Controls whether the User is forced to choose the Traceability value from a pre-defined list, or whether they are allowed to enter any value. |
| 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. |
Order of Precedence
When storing data, the value of each Traceability field is determined based on the first available source in the following order:
- The Test-Specific Traceability setting on the Test submitting the data.
- A Traceability Test on the same Sub-Inspection as the Test submitting the data.
- A Traceability Test in the Inspection Data panel.
- The User's Contextual Traceability.
- The Workstation's Contextual Traceability.
- The Characteristic's Preset Traceability (only applicable for SPC data).
- The Process's Preset Traceability.
- None
