These processing options specify how the system formats, displays, and records test results:

1. Results Entry Format

Specify the format for entering test results. Values are:

Blank Use the Preference format.

1: Use the Preference format, which organizes test results by branch/plant and customer number or item number.

2. Default Tester

3. Minimum and Maximum Parameters

specify the range of acceptable values to measure quality. Values are:

Blank: Use allowed minimum and maximum parameters. These are the lowest and highest values for a passing test result.

1: Use preferred minimum and maximum parameters. These are the lowest and highest values for a preferred test result. Preferred values must be within the range of minimum and maximum allowed values. Use preferred values to measure quality to a more precise specification than is requested by a customer.

4. Number of Samples

Specify whether to display the Number of Samples field on the Test Results Revisions form. Use that field to override the number of samples set up in the preference profile or the F3701 table. Values are:

5. Copy Generic Text

Specify whether the system copies information and instructions from tests or preferences to the test results.

Blank: Do not search.

1: Search.
