Use a data collection form for manual or gage entry

Data collection forms for each sampling plan are accessible via the operator dashboard. Before you can collect data, you must have a defined sampling plan with specified measures, descriptors, collection methods, and data sources.

Note

Each sampling plan must have at least one measure.

With a data collection form, you can enter data manually into the form, or you can import data from a gage or file using a template. For more information on entering data into a data collection form, go to Enter data manually. For more information on using a template to enter data into a data collection form, go to Import data from a file.

Follow these steps to specify a manual data collection.

Open the station setup page for the product and process you want to configure.
Under the Processes by Product section, select Configure.
In Data Collection, select Data Collection Form.
Select Edit for the measure or descriptor to link.
Under Data Source, in Method, select Manual.
Select OK.

Note

You can change the order of the descriptors or measures in your sampling plan. For more information go to Set data collection order.
