Preference Profiles

After you define tests and specifications, you can create a preference profile. A preference profile (also referred to as a preference) determines which tests to perform, and when to perform them, for an item, item group, customer, or customer group. The preference profile enables you to customize the product tests, both for the customers and for the items that they order.

For example, use a preference when one customer requires higher tolerances of a test than another customer. You can use preferences to group the appropriate tests and customize them by customer.
