You can use Query Find and Query-by-Example to find, view, and update quality results, including specific quality results associated with a collection plan. You also can view collection plan attachments as you update quality results. Attachments, which are illustrative or explanatory files, can be used to help guide you through the quality results update process.

Prerequisites

• Enter quality results. See: Entering Quality Result Directly.

   To select all quality results for a collection plan:

1. Navigate to the Update Quality Results window. The Update Quality Results window appears.

2. Select the Collection Plan.

   You can only select a collection plan that has a current effective date. If a default collection plan has been specified, it is automatically selected. See: QA:Default Collection Plan.

   You can use the Find Plan button or the standard list of values to find and select a collection plan. After selecting a collection plan, you can use the previous plan/next plan arrow buttons, located to the right of the collection plan name, to scroll to another valid collection plan. See: Entering Data in Forms.

   Once a collection plan is selected, the results associated with that collection plan are automatically displayed in date order. The Prompts entered when defining the collection elements are displayed as the column headings.

   To find specific quality results:

Position the cursor in any field in the Results region and choose Find from the Query menu. The Find Results window appears. See: Finding Quality Results.

   To find specific quality results using query-by-example:

Position the cursor in any field in the Results region and choose Enter from the Query menu. See: Searching for Data.

Results Update Folders

It can be necessary to have specific key collection elements visible at all times within the Update Quality Results window. For example, while updating quality results for lengthy collection plans, the first collection elements might disappear from display while collection elements near the end of the collection plan are entered. If you are interrupted while updating quality results into lengthy collection plans, it can be difficult to find the correct record in order to continue updating information, because key collection elements at the beginning of the record have scrolled out of display of the window.

You can customize which fields and records display within the Update Quality Results window, for a collection plan (See: Customizing the Presentation of Data). This folders feature provides a user defined display of retrieved information, such as:

• Columns displayed

• Width of columns displayed

• Sequence of columns

• Prompts associated with columns

• Sequence of records
