In-Process Tracking Expansion for Quality Control

We’ve expanded the functionality of In-Process Tracking to help support additional quality control processes. In-Process Tracking steps can now be marked as “Restricted”. Only users with the new “Inspect Parts” permission will be able to fill out those steps - for all other users those field entries will be uneditable.

To make it easier for the user giving the sign off, we’ve added a quick “Switch User” button in the Job Tracking quality tracking screens.



We’ve also added the ability to mark an in-process tracking step as “First Articles Only." Job Tracking users will only need to fill out once and it can be used to trigger a quality check that needs to be completed near the start of a run.


Both of these features are being beta tested. Please let your launch or account manager know if you’re interested in signing up.


In addition, when there are required “Run” checkpoints specified on an operation, it will no longer be possible to complete individual units or add them to inventory until those checkpoints are filled out with a valid response (or the checkpoint is marked “allow out of tolerance completion”). That is, if an operation specifies a required “Run” checkpoint to be completed every unit, each unit’s checkpoint must be filled out before it can be completed or added into inventory. These last changes are live in the system today, but as always we welcome your feedback.
