Each event code is assigned a 2-character type that identifies groups of related unquality events. Using the type code, you can group events for each department or for each area, such as SH-Shipping, RE-Receiving, AC-Accounting, or CS-Customer Service.
You can use types as selection criteria when creating reports or downloading event records to a computer. They can assist you in selecting the correct event code to use when manually logging an unquality event. For example, if you enter a type, the system displays a list of all event codes assigned to that type. You can select the correct event code from the list.
An unlimited number of types can exist within each category and an unlimited number of codes can exist within each type. You can add or delete any type in the UET Type Maintenance window.
To maintain UET types:
From the Events > Unquality Event Tracking menu, select UET Type Maintenance to display the UET Type Maintenance window.
On the blank line at the bottom of the window, type the two character code in the Type field.
In the Description field, enter a brief description that describes the codes within the type.
To delete a type, select the type you want to delete and press Alt-Delete. The system prompts you to confirm the deletion.
Note: If you attempt to delete a type that is still assigned to an event code in UET Code Maintenance, the system displays the message: Code Assigned. Cannot Delete! You must locate and change the type assignments for these codes in UET Code Maintenance before you can delete them.
Click OK to save your changes and exit the window.
