Managing the Characteristics Library

Overview of the Characteristics Library

The Characteristics Library is a collection of all existing Characteristic Groups and their Quality Characteristics that you create in the Quality Master Data library. You can view, search, and filter the Characteristic Groups to work on the required group. In the group, you can add or modify the required Quality Characteristics.

The Characteristics Library provides the following benefits:

  • Common quality standard within a company that can be shared by different products and processes

  • Detection of unknown quality dependencies because the Characteristics are shared between different products and processes

  • Easy way to structure the data

  • Enhancement of the quality data by using versioning. Users can see what has changed and update to the latest version.
