Asset	Ad hoc inspections

Note:

Descriptive Flexfields

You can also enable descriptive flexfields on the Redwood-enabled Inspection Page to capture additional, business-specific inspection data that complements the standard set of quality attributes. These user-defined fields are fully integrated into the Redwood-enabled Inspection Page and can be configured at two levels:

• Inspection (event) level, where the entered data is applicable to the entire inspection.
• Sample result level, where the entered data applies only to a single result value.

REST API Services

When you have many result values to enter, you can use the REST API services. This helps you get better performance and do faster inspections. For more information about using REST APIs, see the inspection related tasks under the Manufacturing section in the REST API for Oracle Fusion Cloud SCM guide.

You can use the Visual Builder Cloud Service add-in for Excel with the REST API services. For more information, see the Oracle Visual Builder Add-In for Excel topic in the Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications Using Common Features guide.

Redwood-Style Notifications

Also, for inspection rule notifications, if you have enabled the "Redwood: Use Redwood-Style Notifications for Inspection Action Rule Notifications" opt-in under Manufacturing and Supply Chain Materials Management, inspection action rule notifications will be displayed in the Redwood style.
