Configure Quality for Your Project

Before using the RIB CX Quality Module, you will need to configure / confirm the following form options.

• Confirm the layout of the quality forms is suitable to the project.
• Confirm the authors of the quality forms.
• Confirm statuses and status allocations.
• Confirm the closers of the documents.
• Configure the project specific data for each of the forms.

General Configuration

When setting up the Quality forms, consideration should be given to whether any changes to default settings are required for the following:

• Authors - Who can create this document?
• Numbering - Do you want sequential numbering or do you require any special fields to display?
• Title and Due Date - Who can edit these on a submitted document.
• Closers & Status Changes - Depending on the workflow of Quality on the project who is allowed to change the status of a document.  Particular consideration should be given to closers.

Statuses

Statuses help to define the workflow of RIB CX forms.  Default statuses are set for each QA Form type, however, these can be configured to reflect the quality workflow on your project.

Consideration should be given to Status options and who has access to each of them.  

Custom Split Buttons 

User Fields

The Quality forms contain a number of user fields.  Some of these fields appear on all of the quality forms.  Where select or cascading fields appear on multiple forms, the options must be added to each form.

ITP Form

The default layout for the ITP is shown below. 

It contains a number of text and select user fields, as well as a table for entering ITP tasks. 

Options for the Select user fields (Process, Structure/Component, Action Type) need to be added to support project workflow.  These select user fields also appears on other QA forms and as such, options must be added to all forms.  Please refer here for more information on options in user fields. 

Lot Form

The default layout for the LOT is shown below.
