Configure the name pattern for Inspection Definitions

When a quality engineer adds Inspection Definitions to an operation or generate Inspection Definitions from a part that contains product and manufacturing information (PMI), the Inspection Definitions are created with a specific name pattern. You can configure this name pattern in the AQC_DEFINE_INSPEC_DEF_NAME_BY_CHAR_SPEC_PROPS preference. By default, the Inspection Definitions are created with the object_name pattern. The name of the Inspection Definition appears with the Inspect- prefix in the following format: Inspect-.

You can configure the Inspect- prefix according to your business requirements. To update the value of the prefix, navigate to C:\Apps\tc\tc\TR\lang\textserver\en_US, open the aqc0qcmaw_text_locale.xml file, and update the value of the tc_prefix_Inspection_Definition_Name element to the required prefix.
