Capturing inspection results

Capture is direct measurement capture against released control plan context. It lives under VoraControl at /control/capture. You choose what was measured, enter the readings, and the result is judged instantly against the specification limits carried by the released plan.

Choosing what was measured

Start by picking the part and plan (only released plans are offered), then the operation, then the characteristic. As you narrow down, the context panel confirms the customer, part, operation and characteristic, and the entry screen shows the spec, the method, the gauge and the plan frequency as an instruction. Then choose Enter measurements to open the entry.

Traceability and samples

The inspection can carry optional traceability: shift, machine, job number, lot number and route reference. Enter each sample reading (with an optional comment per sample), then save. A measured value is compared to the tolerance; a pass or fail characteristic is judged by you at entry. Fill in every sample before saving.

Instant feedback and the Resolve hand-off

On save you see the result immediately: in spec, out of spec, or review required. An out-of-spec result raises a signal and hands off to Resolve, where the follow-up is reviewed, owned and closed alongside the measurement. Capture itself only shows the hand-off; the response workflow lives in Resolve.

History, corrections and voiding

The History register opens to a recent window (the last 90 days by default) and can be filtered further. Every record keeps an immutable snapshot of the plan context it was measured against: part, revision, characteristic and limits, exactly as released at the time. A submitted sample can be corrected with a required reason, and an inspection can be voided with a required reason; both leave the original values visible in the trail.
