Access Quality Objects from an Item Structure

This topic describes how you can navigate from an item to related quality objects.

Note that:

• Blue dot icons appear in the Quality column of components on an item’s structure table, to indicate the presence of quality-related data. Data includes quality issues, actions, problem reports, and corrective actions.
• You can click the blue dot icon to navigate to the corresponding object in the side tab view without losing context.

You can access and view quality issues and quality actions for all revisions of an item from the Quality tab. You can access the quality objects from:

• Quality tab in Product Development and Product Information Management work areas.

  Navigate to Item > Quality tab.

• Item structure component’s side panel in Product Development work area.

  Navigate to Item > Structure. Select a component and click the Quality tab in the side panel.

• Redline item structure component’s side panel in Product Development and Product Information Management work areas.

  Navigate to a Change Order > Affected Object tab. Click the affected object that you want to view. Click the Structure tab and select a component. Click the Quality tab in the side panel.

You can also perform the following actions from the Quality tab:

• Query by Example
• Export to Excel
• Detach the Table

Note: When doing QBE on Severity, enter only the text value, and not the numeric prefix. For example, if severity is '1 High', enter only 'High' in the QBE field.

Attributes that appear on the quality issues and quality actions table are similar to the ones that appear on the Manage Quality page.

Note: Users with the item privilege EGP_VIEW_ITEM_PRIV can view the Quality tab on the Item Details page.
