Depending on the mode of entry to these pages, the system displays either a list of pending sessions to be completed or a list of completed sessions available to edit. Sessions are listed in descending order of creation date. In addition, the hierarchy fields associated with the quality function and control plan appear.

The listed sessions are limited by the data persistence settings, the session data life days, and the edit data limit days that you defined for the quality function. This table lists the criteria that affects sessions:

For example, suppose that you want to edit data for a completed session. The date is March 30, 2003, and the edit data limit days for the quality function is set to 20 days. The list of sessions that appear on this page are those sessions that you created between March 10, 2003 and March 30, 2003, with a session status of Analyzed.
