Example - Question list

The following table shows an example of questions and possible values.

In this table, some questions are generic (such as Color, Length, Width, and Height) meaning they apply to all items that fall under the same category, not just this particular item.

Question Code	Scope	Description	Type	Boolean Value	Numeric Target Value	Lookup Value
Broken	Item	Broken Chair	Boolean	No	-	-
Paint	Item	Paint Quality	Boolean	Yes	-	-
Color	Item	Paint Color	Lookup	-	-	Black
						Blue
						Red
						White
Length	Item	Chair Length	Numeric	-	100	-

Set numeric values for a question

Set the question tolerances for a Numeric question from the Questions card. The Question Tolerances fast tab is dynamic and only visible when the question type is NUMERIC.

Example - Numeric

Set the question tolerance value as per the example below:

From Value	To Value	Score	Result Status
100	100	150	Accepted
99	101	100	Accepted
98	102	50	Ambiguous
97	103	25	Ambiguous
96	104	1	Rejected

Note
Comparison of actual recorded value against the value defined for a question happens in a top-down approach. For this example, the target value is 100 and therefore gets the highest score. From 99 to 101 is still Accepted but scores lower.

Set lookup values for a question

The Question Lookup Values fast tab is dynamic and only visible when the question type is LOOKUP.

Example - Lookup

Set the question lookup value as per the example below:

Lookup	Target Value	Score
Black	Yes	10
Blue	Yes	10
Red	Yes	5
White	No	1

Note
Comparison of actual recorded value against the value defined for a question happens in a top-down approach.

Set target value for an item

Question Code Color has four values, but the target value for item 1900-S PARIS Guest Chair, Black is BLACK.

Choose the icon (Alt+Q).
Type Target Values to open the list of target values.
Select Source Type = Item.
Enter No. = 1900-S.
Select Question = Color.
Select the assist button on Lookup and select BLACK.

Example - target value

Source Type	No.	Question	Type	Lookup
Item	1900-S	Color	Lookup	Black

By defining the target values, you have fine-tuned the expected target values against quality checks for item 1900-S.
