We can access to Settings Users area on the Part area by selecting a specific Control Guide and then selecting Settings or using the Action icons (see attached picture):  

Once inside Settings, we select the Configuration tab.

This area is divided into two different options, Current setup and DMO.


CURRENT SETUP:

If we need to edit the characteristic initially defined on our Control Guide, we can edit these properties accessing to Current setup. 

After selecting Edit button, the defined properties of our Control Guide will appear and then, we can edit properties if necessary.


  • Mandatory decision tags: selecting a tag status between OK, RWK and SCRAP will be mandatory. For example, on CMM dimensional controls this feature is not useful because Kapture.io automatically give to you the part status if measurements are out of tolerances but, in case of Rework operations or Visual Aspect controls, the final status of the part could be a decision to be made by the quality inspector. The measurement done will not be uploaded until the operator selects a status between OK, RWK or SCRAP.
  • All checks mandatory: when all the controls are important and we want to configure all as mandatory. The measurement done will not be uploaded until the operator selects a status between OK, RWK or SCRAP. For example, we can maintain this button deactivated if our control is very large and all the controls are not always required because they have different frequency executions. 
  • Mandatory non-conformities: if we require to track non-conformities and we want to avoid the option of uploading measurements without introducing the non-conformity justification, we need to activate this button. In this way, we are defining this Control Guide as mandatory to justify non-conformities and measurements done will not be uploaded until the operator justifies all the non-conformities on the control.
  • Save attribute values until exiting: if an specific control needs to be measured for a long time, for example, during work shift, the defined attributes will probably be the same until the end of it. For that reason, we do not want to invest time in introducing these attributes continuously. A single or multiples attributes can be now selected and Kapture.io will store on memory your last attribute values, keeping them in your next measurement. These values can be updated any time just by changing them and will be kept until exiting the control, signing out or closing the browser.
  • Measure sample time: in case we need to control and record the total time of the execution of the control guide, we can select to just measure the time used to run the control guide or also to mesure the total time with the possibility to use pauses that will be recorded in our sample information.
  • Sample upload type: Single vs Multiple. Here we can define the way of measuring parts. For example, if our Control is a control with an execution frequency of 1 execution per 2 hours and we have enough time to execute it, we will select "Single samples only" and the measurement upload to the platform will be realized one by one to the platform. But, for example, if we are controlling in line, with a reduce range of time to control 100% of parts, maybe the most appropriate configuration is "Multiple batch samples permitted". Defining this configuration allows us to safe time uploading at the same time more than one part with the same characteristics.



DMO:

If we need to work with DMO files, this is our area to configure DMO header requirements and parameters.

On Header Settings we can update and save all the changes necessary to adapt the file to our required standards.

Once we finish with the header definition, we click on Save button.


Finally, we need to define a couple of characteristics related to our checks:

1. Check type.

2. X, Y, Z coordinate values.

3. i, j, k vectorial components values.


After realizing this definition, we will be able to export DMO files from Kapture.io measurements. To export this file will be enough to select the specific measurement. Take a look at the picture:
