Reject Reasons¶

To understand your quality issues even further, you can also track the underlying reasons of your rejects via the manual inputs capability. In addition to tracking the reject reasons, you can also for instance view the top 10 reject reasons on the quality page. This section explains the steps to configure the reject reason collections which needs to be assigned in the machine and line configuration.

User interface¶

The user interface of "Reject Reasons" is as shown below:

① Navigates to "Configuration" tab
② Add a new "Reject Reason Collection"
③ Edit an existing reject reason collection
④ Delete the selected reject reason collection
⑤ Navigates to the next step
⑥ Displays the current step
⑦ Navigates to the previous step

Procedure¶

To create a reject reason collection, proceed as follows:

1. From the navigation tab, click "Configuration" and select "Reject Reasons".
2. In "Reject Reasons", click "Add Reject Reasons Collection".
3. Enter the "Name" and "Description".
4. Click "Add reject reason" in the top right corner to add the first reject reason in the collection.

This will open an "Edit reject reason" dialogue, which allows you to enter the "Name" and "Description" for the reject reason.

The description input field offers more capabilities than the usual description fields in the application. The goal is that the user puts in additional information for the created reject reason. In general, the editor allows you to structure the input text and can then also be displayed in a better way at a later stage. Once you have put in all the relevant information, click "Save" to save the reject reason.

Once you created the first reject reason in the collection, there are now multiple possibilities for you to proceed.

• Click the edit icon to edit the reject reason.
• Click the delete icon to delete the reject reason. This will also delete all child reject reasons.
• Click the plus button to add a child reject reason to the existing reject reason.

The reject reason collection can be built in two ways, either as a simple list or as a tree structure.

Simple List¶

To create a simple list, click the "Add reject reason" button to add new reject reasons. This will always create new reject reasons on the first layer in the collection.

Tree Structure¶

To create a tree structure, click on the plus icon on an existing reject reason as this click will create a new child reject reason. If you want to create a new reject reason on the first layer, click the "Add reject reason" button in the upper right corner.

After adding all reject reasons to the collection, click "Back to reject reasons overview" button in the upper left corner to get back to the reject reasons overview.
