Releasing and revising an inspection plan
An inspection plan is written as a draft, released for use, and changed by revising it into a new version — the old one stays in use until the new one is released.
Inspection plans live under Manufacturing → Quality Planning → Inspection Plans. A new plan is a draft: add its characteristics with Characteristics, then press Release. A released plan is the one inspections use.
Changing a plan in use
- On the released plan, press Revise.
- A new draft version is made, with the same characteristics, for you to change.
- Release it when it is ready. From then on inspections use the new version.
While the new version is a draft, the old one stays released and in use, so inspections never stop for want of a plan. The Ver column shows which version each row is.
