# Manage Inspection Information

:lock: Step.**Edit**

## Overview

This operation is used to edit the settings for the inspection information associated to the **Step**.

## Setup

No specific setup is required other than to meet the precondition of the transaction.

## Preconditions

* The **Step** exists and it is Active.

## Sequence of Steps

### Step 1: General

1. Select if the **Step** will allow Inspections.
2. If the Enable Inspections option is selected, choose the following information to add to the **Step** inspection severity properties:

      * Severity (values retrieved from the `InspectionSeverity` **Lookup Table**).
      * AQL Inspection Severity (values retrieved from the `AQLSeverity` **Lookup Table**).
      * AQL Inspection Level  (values retrieved from the `AQLInspectionLevel` **Lookup Table**).
      * AQL Acceptance Limit (values retrieved from the `AQLAcceptanceLimit` **Lookup Table**).
      * The default inspection Counter Frequency, used for automatic configurations (must be greater than 1).
      * The default inspection Percentage, used for automatic configurations.
      * Fixed Quantity (must be greater than 0).
      * Maximum Acceptable Defects Fixed (must be equal or greater than 0).
      * Maximum Acceptable Defects Percentage (must be a value between and including 0 and 100).

3. If the Enable Inspections option is selected, two further panels will be available and selecting **Next** will allow editing the remaining information, otherwise select the **Update** button to close the wizard.

### Step 2: Context information

Select one or more contexts from the possible items listed in the panel. Each of the singular contexts comprise a property of the `StepInspectionPlanContext` **Smart Table**:

* Material Type
* Product
* Product Group
* Resource
* Model
* Resource Type
* Flow
* Logical Flow Path

!!! info
	The selection must match an existing precedence key for the `StepInspectionPlanContext` **Smart Table**

!!! warning
	Changing the Inspection Severity Context Information will delete all associated Step Inspection Severity Instance records.

### Step 3: Switching Rules

1. A set of Inspection Severity switching rules can be specified. For each switching rule, specify:

      * From Inspection Severity (values retrieved from the `InspectionSeverity` **Lookup Table**)
      * To Inspection Severity (values retrieved from the `InspectionSeverity` **Lookup Table**)
      * Direction of the switch:
          * Tightening
          * Reducing

      * Rule:
          * If the Direction is Tightening, the **Rule** must be of scope Inspection Tightening.
          * If the Direction is Reducing, the **Rule** must be of scope Inspection Reducing.
  
      * Rule Parameter, which will complete the definition of the `N` variable in the possible rules. The available rules are listed in the [Step Inspection Rules](step_inspection_rules.md) page.

      * Filter Type:
          * Time - in this case, define also the time interval to determine the filter.
          * Last Occurrences (must be greater than zero).

      * New default values can be set for the To Inspection Severity.

2. Select **Update** to complete the operation.
