Validate work instructions inputs after completion

Hi,

I'm working on CWC and would like to know if there's any way to verify what was filled during all steps on work instructions during an assembly execution.

 

I know that on fabrication execution there's the log sheet, and for that I've found what I was looking for.

 

On assembly execution I could only find the performance report, which shows only metrics on time per step and the chart for events and attributes,

So my question is if there's a way to see what was the inputs/outputs on each step for assembly execution too?

Hi VR

 

Today someone showed me CWC-Extended, and I think it contains what you're asking for. You can get it from this Github link, other Extendeds are also there if you're interested. You can get it using the Releases section on the right side of the page. There is an installation guide that goes along with it, it should also specify which version of the non-Extended CWC you need. Note that the team who makes & supports Extended is not the same team as the one who makes CWC, at the moment we use Github to reach them when necessary (need to create a Github account for this).

 

In CWC-Extended, there is a new report called QA Report. It allows you to see the list of serials :

You can select one and see the steps. And if you select a step, it gives further details in the bottom section including the values entered during execution.

Hi VR

 

I'm giving an answer before the week ends, without having time to verify this yet. But I'm pretty sure the answer is sadly No. Or at least, not without adding custom code.

 

The results (at least most of them, maybe all) are kept in the database. For example I know that Manual Entry and Smarttool steps' values are kept in the AttributeValue table. However, I don't know of any way to see this information using the default screens. We would need to create additional screens and services to collect & show this information.

 

There are the Endpoints, especially the Production and Joborder ones, that can send information when serial numbers and joborders are completed. They give some basic information like the serial (or joborder) name, the quantity, the status, and so on. But they don't contain the information within the steps, such as the values (AttributeValue, as mentioned above).

 

And as you already found out there's the Performance Report. But I think it just gives the count & duration of step executions, not the details inside the steps like the values.
