Allows

Behavior

AutoAdvance

True/False

False. Automatically returns the user to the menu of sub-inspections after data is submitted.

True automatically advances operator to the next sub-inspection after data is submitted.

ChooseUniqueID

True/False

False. The inspector is not prompted to provide a Unique ID at runtime. The name of the inspection will be used as the Unique ID.

True. The inspector is prompted to provide a Unique ID at runtime.

Note: In the GS Collect mobile app, resuming the Unique ID for a Planned Inspection may replace user-selected values with values from the Planned Inspection. This should be considered when creating Inspections for use in Planned Inspections.

IDReuse

Multi-select

Off. Prefills the New Unique ID field with the current date and time.

On. Prefills the New Unique ID field with the most recently used ID. You may want to use this if you are inspecting the same item over time.

Clear. The New Unique ID field is blank. This can be useful when using a barcode scanner on an iPad. The user does not have to delete the existing ID before scanning the new ID.

Locked

True/False

False. Allows editing of the inspection.

True. Disallows editing of this inspection.

StoreAll

[Applies only to Pass/Fail/NA tests and Defect List tests .]

True/False

True.

[PC] Stores all data for Defect List tests and Pass/Fail/NA tests.

[Mobile] Stores all data for Defect List tests and stores Pass and Fail data from Pass/Fail/NA tests. (Does not store NA data for Pass/Fail/NA tests.)

False. For Defect List tests and Pass/Fail/NA tests, data is only stored when:

  • a Defect List test has defects

  • a Pass/Fail/NA test was marked Fail

See Storing all data versus storing only defect data

UseRed

True/False

False. The sub-inspection button for completed sub-inspections turns green regardless of whether there were defects for the sub-inspection.

True turns the button for this sub-inspection red (instead of green) when there are defects or failures entered for this sub-inspection, or if a traceability was not set (even if the EntryRequired property is set to False.)

PC: a Numeric Input test with a real-time failure also turns the button red.

Data

IDLabel

Text field

[Displays the current label for the Unique ID field.]

Enter text for an alternate Unique ID label. You may, for example, want to change the label to "Serial number" or "Lot number."

There is a limit of 20 characters for this label.

Process

DMS Process

[Displays the process under which DMS data is currently stored.]

Change the DMS process used for this inspection.

RevisionNotes

Text field

[blank]

Enter text for notes such as those pertaining to the inspection process, the inspection creation process, or revisions to the inspection. The notes only display on the Inspection Editor (not the running inspection).

TraceabilitySubInspection

Traceability field

[Displays the currently selected traceability field and label in which the sub-inspection name is stored for the inspection.]

Change the traceability field in which the sub-inspection name is stored for the inspection.

TraceabilityTest

Traceability field

[Displays the currently selected traceability field and label in which the test name is stored for the inspection.]

Change the traceability field in which the test name is stored for the inspection.

Mobile

PreFormula

[Mobile only]

LiveCode

[blank]

LiveCode script that runs before the Inspection is loaded.

Useful for setting standards, traceability values, and other values that can be set without needing a specific sub-inspection to be loaded and submitted.

PC

ShowRTFWarnings

[PC only]

True/False

True. Real-time failures for variable data are displayed to the operator before data is submitted.

Note: This property currently only applies to the Numeric Input test.

False. Does not display real-time failures to the inspector before data is submitted.

Note: This property currently only applies to the Numeric Input test.

The StoreAll property: Storing all data versus storing only defects

If you set the StoreAll property to False, GainSeeker will not store data for:

The default setting True for the StoreAll property stores all data for both tests on PC, and all data except a Pass/Fail/NA test marked NA on Mobile.

Storing both types of data provides you with a record that a test was performed. For example, if you store only defect data (StoreAll = False), and you have six Pass/Fail/NA tests in a sub-inspection, and the sample passes these six tests, then no data for these six tests would be stored for the sample for this test.

About the Unique ID

The Choose Existing Unique ID or Create New page opens after you have selected the inspection to open on the Choose An Inspection: page. The Unique ID is used to uniquely identify a particular item (as opposed to a make and model, for example). An example of a Unique ID might be a unique serial number. See About the Unique ID for more information.
