Using the Notes feature - PC Collect

Two types of Note buttons may display on a sub-inspection:

 

Contents  [Hide]

 

Notes that apply to all tests on the sub-inspection

The Note button at the bottom of the sub-inspection allows the inspector to enter notes that are stored with all the tests on the sub-inspection.

When this Note button is clicked, the Enter Note window is used to enter notes for the sub-inspection.

Notes that apply to a specific test

The Note button for a test allows the inspector to enter notes and corrective action information that is stored with only that test.

When the inspector clicks this test-specific Note button, the Enter Note window is used to enter notes and corrective action information for only that test.

   

Individual Note for a test that stores DMS data

 

 

 

Individual Note for a test that stores SPC data

 

Note: If a sub-inspection contains Traceability tests for corrective actions (DMS Event, SPC Event, SPC Cause, and/or SPC Action Taken), any corrective actions entered on the Individual Note will be stored in the data record for that test (instead of the value from the corresponding corrective action Traceability test on the sub-inspection).

Notes Required when Failures occur

An inspector can be required to enter notes and/or corrective actions if a defect or real-time failure is present.

In the following example, the inspector is required to enter notes and/or corrective actions if the Pass/Fail test fails:

The blue exclamation symbol at the left side of the test indicates that the sub-inspection cannot be submitted until some action is taken on this test. You can click this symbol to see what action is needed.

In the example above:
