Sequence Of Steps#

1. Select an appropriate Sampling Plan, navigate to the Instances section and press the Manage button.

2. Add as many instances as desired (press in the top right of the grid to add a new entry and to remove an existing entry), providing the following information for each item:

   • Material Type (values retrieved from the MaterialType lookup table)
   • Sampling Type. The possible values are:
     • CounterBased
     • CounterAndTimeBased
     • TimeBased

   • Depending on the Sampling type selected above, specify:

     • Sampling Counter Frequency (for CounterBased, CounterAndTimeBased)

     Warning

     If set, must be >= 0. A value of 0 disables counter-based sampling.

   • Current Sampling Counter (for CounterBased, CounterAndTimeBased)

     Warning

     If set, must be >= 0 and < Sampling Counter Frequency. If Sampling Counter Frequency is 0, this field cannot hold a valid value and the system returns an error message.

   • Sampling Time Frequency (for CounterAndTimeBased, TimeBased) - a value, in hours

     Warning

     If set, must be >= 0 (0 means disabled).

   • Last Sampling Date (for CounterAndTimeBased, TimeBased) - must not be a future date/time, or left empty.

     Note

     Last Sampling Date can only be edited if the Sampling Plan is TimeBased or CounterAndTimeBased.
