If you want to know who entered the result and the time, you can do so easily.

1. In the Results Characteristics Properties box, click the Tracking tab.
2. The user name of the person who created the characteristic and the person who entered the result display. The date and time of the result entry are also recorded.

When specifications and processes are called out in notes, you can easily add them to Form 2.

1. Balloon the note. With OCR, drop, drag the item.
2. When finished, click the characteristic and the Characteristics Properties icon (looks like a gear in the BoC).
3. Highlight the spec or process name and right click.
4. Select the Add Spec and complete the data in the box that displays.
5. When you export the Boc, the spec and/or process name is included in Form 2.

When entering results in the DISCUS Results module, you can enter ranges and multiple values.

1. For a range, enter the lower and upper limit, separated by a hyphen, such as, 1.25-1.27.
2. For multiples, enter the numeric value separated by a comma, such as, 1.25, 1.26, 1.27.
3. Each item is validated and the worst-case is reported as failing or warning.
4. Click the Multiple Results button to review the individual status of each entered result.

Believe it or not, DISCUS is an acronym.  It stands for Dynamic Interactive System for Characteristic Utilization and Selection.  Whew!!!
