Attribute	Value
Inspection Plan	Defines the data you must collect.
Samples	A representative part of a larger group that you inspect and use as evidence of quality. For example, assume you received 500 units of item AS54888. In most situations, it isn't feasible to perform a thorough inspection of every unit, particularly when a large quantity is involved. Instead, you can inspect one or more samples of the quantity, and then use the Inspect page to record your observations. Your Quality Engineer sets up the inspection plan so it displays the number of samples you must record, and the characteristics you must measure.
Inspection Level	Indicates the percentage of units you must inspect. For example: 100%. You must physically inspect 100% of the number of units you received, and record the inspection result for each unit. For example, if you receive 100 units, then you must physically inspect each of the 100 units, and record 100 inspections results. 10%. You must physically inspect 10% of the number of units you received. For example, if you receive 100 units, then you must physically inspect 10 units, and record 10 inspection results.
Characteristic	Properties, measurements, or tests you use to measure item quality.
Status	The status area contains the following values: Samples. Total number of samples you must record. Pending. Number of samples you haven't yet recorded. Accepted. Number of samples you recorded where the Result matches the Specification. Rejected. Number of samples you recorded where the Result doesn't match the Specification.
Sequence	Determines the sequence to use when you inspect the characteristic. For example, if the Sequence for characteristic color is 10, and if the Sequence for characteristic size is 20, then you must record the color first, and then the size.

For this example, assume your Quality Engineer set up item AS54888 from supplier Computer Service and Rentals so that you must perform a 100% inspection, but measure only the Blue specification.

In the Samples area, click 33492-1.
