To save configuration time default rank groups and ranks can be associated to concerns before the concerns are assigned to parts. For further information, please click the link. 
Rank Groups allow ranks to be grouped by area of use. For example, the Paint department may include ranks such as Spot Repair or Touch Up, while the Chassis department may use ranks such as Hoist Minor or Electrical. Creating rank groups keeps an inspector from viewing unnecessary ranks at an inspection station.
Meanwhile, setting the default rank will save the inspector time when entering a defect. The inspector can either accept the default or choose another rank.
The selected rank group will be displayed and the default rank will be highlighted in Data Collect when the specific concern is placed on the specific part and the other parameters of the row in the Extended Information are also satisfied.
