# Process measurements

A measurement is created from an incident and based on a measurement template. The measurement is created either manually through the **Create Incident Wizard** or automatically from a process trigger. The **Measurement** page consists of three fast tabs:

- **General**: shows the source fields captured through the incident. These fields are non-editable and for information only.
- **User Defined Fields**: shows the additional fields captured as defined on the measurement template.
- **Lines**: lists the check sheets created for the measurement and based on the settings in the measurement template.

### Steps

To process a measurement, follow these steps:

1. Complete the check sheet(s) as listed on the **Lines** fast tab by selecting a line and selecting the **Edit** action on the **Lines** fast tab.

> [!NOTE]
> Note
> 
> There can be several check sheets when the **Check Sheet Creation** field on the measurement template is set to **Per Lot No.** / **Per Serial No.** or when **Recurring Check Sheets** is set. The check sheet line shows the status of the check sheet as:
> 
> - **Initial**: the original check sheet.
> - **Retest**: created from another check sheet as a re-test.
> - **Recurring**: when the measurement template is marked as **Recurring**, a new check sheet of the type **Recurring** is suggested when the check sheet is **Completed**. The check sheet is created when you accept the suggestion.
> - The boolean **Retested** indicates that a new check sheet of the type **Retest** has been created from this check sheet.
2. Approve the check sheet(s). Once the check sheet is completed, it shows a result status. Based on this result status, the check sheet line is set to **Approved** and the measurement header to **Accepted** when the check sheet is Accepted.

> [!NOTE]
> Note
> 
> When not approved, use the **Re-Test** action in the **Manage** menu of the **Lines** to create a new check sheet for a "second opinion." **Re-test** opens a pop-up "What would you like to do?":
> 
> - Complete check sheet: A complete re-test check sheet is created.
> - Rejected check sheet lines: A re-test check sheet with only the rejected lines is created.
> - Rejected and Ambiguous check sheet lines: A re-test check sheet with only the rejected and ambiguous lines is created.
> - When there is a mix of Accepted and Rejected check sheets, the measurement status is set to **Ambiguous** and must be manually set to either **Accepted** or **Rejected**.
3. Register the measurement. This action copies the completed measurement to a registered measurement.

> [!NOTE]
> Note
> 
> An error appears when none of the check sheets are Approved. Only measurements with the status **Accepted** or **Rejected** can be registered. A measurement is registered through a journal, besides a **Registered measurement**, an entry in the **Measurement register** is created.

### Registered measurements

When a measurement is registered, all the check sheets for the measurement are also registered as separate entities. In the **Archive** menu on the role center you find:

- **Registered measurements**
- **Registered check sheets**
- **Measurement register**
- **Closed incident entries**
