Traceability test

Property

Default setting or default display

Allows

BEHAVIOR

BarcodeAllowed

False. Disallows barcode scanning for this test.

True allows barcode scanning using an integrated or external camera or webcam.

Matrix (2D) barcodes, such as QR codes, and traditional linear (1D) barcodes are supported. During testing, QR codes provided the best result.

Note: Some devices are not suitable for barcode scanning - especially on linear barcodes - because they are not designed to focus on items that are small and close. You can use a barcode scanning app on your device to test a camera's (or webcam's) suitability as a barcode scanner.

When this property is set to True, the EntryRestricted property must be set to False.

ClearValue

DoNotClear. Traceability value is not automatically cleared.

[PC]: Depending on the Save Traceability Values Per Inspection setting on this workstation, traceability value may be remembered across inspections or only for the current inspection.

Note: For the following Traceability options, the value is always cleared: DMS Event, SPC Event, SPC Cause, SPC Action Taken, and Text Entry.

AfterCurrentInspection.
[PC]: Traceability value is cleared after the overall inspection is completed.
[Mobile]: Clears the traceability value after the subInspection only.

AfterCurrentSubInspection.
Traceability value is cleared after the sub-inspection is completed.

EntryRequired

False. Inspector is not required to enter a value for this test.

True requires inspector to enter a value for this test.

[PC]: An exclamation mark will be displayed next to this test as a reminder that a value must be entered.

[Mobile]: An asterisk [*] will be displayed next to this test as a reminder that a value must be entered.

EntryRestricted

False. Does not require inspector to pick from a pre-defined list of values.

When the BarcodeAllowed property is set to True, this property must be set to False.

True requires inspector to pick from a pre-defined list of values.

When the Traceability property is set to Text Entry, you must use the inspect.cursubi.trace(idx).list Python command in a Formula test to create the list.

When the Traceability property is set to DMS Event, SPC Event, SPC Cause, or SPC Action Taken, this test always behaves as if this property is True.

UseUniqueID

False. The value is not initialized to the current unique ID.

True initializes the value to the current unique ID.

Note: This value cannot be modified for the traceability options: DMS Event, SPC Event, SPC Cause, and SPC Action Taken.

DATA

Traceability

Name of current traceability field where the value is stored.

[PC]: May be set to Text Entry, which allows the inspector to input another value that is not stored with the submitted data.
To use the value entered by the inspector, you must use a Formula test with the inspect.cursubi.trace(idx).value Python command.

Change the traceability field where the value is stored.

You can double-click on the Traceability test to edit this property.

TraceabilityPrep

[blank]

Set the value for the traceability. If set, this value supersedes both a traceability value set by a previous sub-inspection and a traceability value remembered from a previous inspection.

[Mobile]: If this field is a GPS location (see GPSLocation property), “GPS Location” is the traceability label.

Note: This property is ignored if the traceability is set to DMS Event, SPC Event, SPC Cause, or SPC Action Taken.

MOBILE

GPSLocation

[Mobile only]

False. Does not store the current GPS coordinates for this test.

True stores the current GPS coordinates for this test.

Note: This property is ignored if the traceability is set to DMS Event, SPC Event, SPC Cause, or SPC Action Taken.

PC

Label

[PC only]

[blank]

The label or instructions displayed for this test during data entry.

Leave blank to display the name of the traceability field.

SearchMode

[PC only]

Search. When there is a pre-defined list of values, and the inspector is typing a value into this test, GainSeeker tries to dynamically match all of the characters being typed.

• If EntryRestricted is True: GainSeeker will select the first item from the pre-defined list that matches all of the characters typed. (Pausing for a second will start a new search, beginning with the next character typed.)

• If EntryRestricted is False: If any pre-defined list items begin with the characters that have been typed, GainSeeker will display a shorter list of those items and use the first of the those items to auto-complete the text that has been typed so far.

Jump. When there is a pre-defined list of values, and the inspector is typing a value into this test, GainSeeker tries to match the last single character that was typed.

• If EntryRestricted is True: GainSeeker will select the first item from the pre-defined list that begins with the most recent character typed. Typing the same character again will move to the next list item that begins with that character.

• If EntryRestricted is False: GainSeeker does not attempt to match any pre-defined list items while the inspector is typing a value. (Typing a partial value and then pressing the down arrow key will select the first list item that begins with the text that has been typed so far.)

TestID

The TestID property is only used in Python scripts for PC Collect inspections.

A unique TestID number is automatically assigned to each test in the inspection, but you can change this number to a more meaningful name.

For more information, see About the TestID property

VerticalSize

[PC only]

Regular. Test is full-sized.

Short. Helps you to fit more tests on the screen. Test may be shorter, and white space above and below this test may be reduced.

For the DMS Event, SPC Event, SPC Cause, and SPC Action Taken, this test is already short and changing this property will not actually change the size of the test.
