9. Learn about the Quality Assurance tab in the Job Master File.10. Learn about the Quality Assurance tab in the Employee Master File.AreasQA Areas are used to categorize, group, and report on Items. When creating a new Area, the defaultArea Type and associated Quality Objective from the Area Type add/edit list defaults to this screen.However, it can be modified. Areas can be added directly to the Checkpoint Templates tree or they canbe a subset of a Section. Items are then added to an Area.Use the Description field to enter a unique name for the record.Select the Area Type to associate with the Area. On a new record, the Type will populate if an Area Typewas selected as a default on the Area Types add/edit list. However, it can be modified.Enter a percentage of quality that must be met in order to be deemed acceptable for the Area.Acceptable percentages are from 0 to 100. If a default was selected on the Area Types add/edit list, theassociated Quality Objective populates here when creating a new Area. However, it can be modified.Select the Weight of the Area from 1x – 10x. The Default weight is 1x. Weighting allows evaluators toindicate how important this Area is to others. Since some criteria may be more important than others,you need to include that relative importance into your decision making process. To do this, assign aweight to each Area. The larger the weight, the more important the weight.ItemsQA Items are used to categorize, group, and report on Items. Typically, Items are in the form of aquestion to be answered during completion of a Checkpoint.Copyright 2013 TEAM Software, Inc.2 Page

Use the Description field to enter a unique name for the record.Select the Item Type to associate with the Item. On a new record, the Type will populate if an Item Typewas selected as a default on the Item Types add/edit list. However, it can be modified.Select the Weight of the Item from 1x – 10x. The Default weight is 1x. Weighting allows evaluators toindicate how important this Item is to others. Since some criteria may be more important than others,you need to include that relative importance into your decision making process. To do this, assign aweight to each Item. The larger the weight, the more important the weight.The Details text field can be used for entering a detailed description of the Item. You can enter up to 500characters. The Item Details can be included when running the Checkpoint Templates Report.Copyright 2013 TEAM Software, Inc.3 Page

Response SystemsResponse Systems are groups of answers for a Checkpoint Template that have a set minimum andmaximum score. The set minimum and maximum values ensure that all Response Methods within thissystem have the same value (prior to weighting).Use the Description field to enter a unique name for the record. The Description is limited to 50characters.Select to indicate if this Response System should serve as the default Response System when creating anew Checkpoint Template.Enter a minimum and maximum score to be used by this Response System. When creating a new record,this entry is required. Enter a score of 0 through 1000. On an existing record, this field is not availablefor entry.RESPONSE METHODS GRID/RESPONSE METHODDETAILS GRIDCopyright 2013 TEAM Software, Inc.4 Page

An entry cannot be made in the Response Methods grid until a new Response System has been added.The Response Method Details must contain a Score equal to the Minimum Score and a Score equal tothe Maximum Score. When a Response Method has been saved, you can no longer edit the Minimumand Maximum Score in the header area.You can enter as many Response Methods as you want and each Response Method must contain detailrecords including both the minimum and maximum scores. You must select a Default Response Methodbefore saving. When you select the Number of Choices, the Details grid will populate with a detail lineitem for the minimum score, maximum score, and a N/A entry.Change the Description in the Details grid to be more specific with the choices. Make sure each choice(detail line) has a Score. You are not required to select a Default Response Method Detail. Once a valueis selected in this field, it cannot be edited, changed or deleted.When a user selects the Number of Choices, the bottom grid populates with new rows based on theNumber of Choices. The rows initially contain Descriptions as “Description 1,” “Description 2,” etc., andwill always include a row with a Description of N/A that cannot be renamed. This N/A row always has ablank score which cannot be changed. This row, however, can be selected as the default and made aDeficiency. The N/A row does not count towards the Number of Choices. So, a Choice count of 4 wouldyield 5 rows: 4 Choices and 1 N/A row.If you select the Deficiency check box for a specific Score, the Item will display as a Deficiency wheneveran Item is scored with that result.Copyright 2013 TEAM Software, Inc.5 Page
