More Sampling Plans: ANSI/ASQ Z1.4, Percentage, and Flat

Until now, in-process checkpoints were inspected on a fixed frequency: every Nth part, with no other option. You can now pick a sampling plan per checkpoint:

• ANSI/ASQ Z1.4: Fulcrum looks up the required sample size from the standard's tables based on the job quantity.
• Percentage: inspect a share of the job quantity, say 5%.
• Flat: inspect a fixed number of parts per run.

Set the plan on the checkpoint in the drawing annotator, and Fulcrum works out how many parts need inspecting once the job is approved. In Job Tracking, those checkpoints collect as a Random Sample count (First Article plus Sample 1 through N) instead of a column per part, and the operation can't be completed until every slot is filled. Results roll up to the job's Quality tab, the in-process tracking download, and the FAIR (First Article Inspection Report).

One limitation: sampling plans only work on checkpoints created in the drawing annotator, not ones added the older way.
