What are Parts?
Add parts for all the items that need to be inspected. In an automotive inspection process, for example, you might define fenders, doors, engines, axles, window regulators, spark plugs, and so on. Any part or component that is to be inspected should be defined as a part in Inspect. Note that if your facility has a code for a part, that code can be entered in the Parts dialog box.
To prepare for your Inspect launch, you can save a lot of time (and possible data entry errors) by obtaining part information from existing sources, such as a parts database or an Excel spreadsheet.
After you add parts, you can assign them to image views or part categories for a product at a particular inspection station. The parts you add comprise a global parts list, which are not restricted to specific areas of the plant. If there are other administrators adding parts for other areas, be sure to avoid duplicating parts.
Creating Parts
You must create the Parts individually first before they can be linked to the Product. If you were carrying out a proper setup you would probably be adding all the parts of the product. The parts you will add in this tutorial are just a sample:
|
Name |
|
Brake Lever |
|
Brake Pad |
|
Brake Cable |
|
Cross Bar |
|
Down Tube |
Select the Products tab.
Click Parts.
A list of the existing parts and part folders is displayed.
Click the add button (
) below the right-hand pane.
The part creation window opens.
Enable Sync Code to Description.
Enter Brake Lever in the description field. The Code field is automatically populated.
Click OK.
The part is added to the list and the window stays open.
Enter the rest of the parts.
Creating Part Folders
Part Folders are used to make a large list of parts more manageable, since folders reduce the amount of scrolling you need to do.
Click the add button () below the Folders pane.
Enter Bike Parts in the description field. The Code field is automatically populated.
Click OK.
The folder is added to the list.
Click Cancel to close the dialog box.
Enable the checkboxes of all the parts to add to the folder.
Drag the parts into the part folder.
The parts have now been added to the folder.
