How the Part To Be Measured Information is Used

Once part and characteristic information is selected for a piece of equipment, any event that collects part data will automatically be populated with these default parts and characteristics. For example, by default, IndySoft collects parts measured by equipment during a Check-Out event. Whenever you perform a Check-Out event, the default part data automatically defaults to the parts/characteristics specified in this tab. The following is an example of how a check-out would automatically default to the parts listed in the 'Parts To Be Measured' tab.
