Reports

char.io generates the report from the run. An issued report stays frozen.

A report is the document the next person reads: a table of parameters with their conditions, a typical value, and min and max when the run produced them. Each value links to its raw record and method version. The columns follow the measurement family you configured.

What a report holds

  • The device and the station the run used.
  • The method version and the standard it implements.
  • Parameters, conditions, and values, each marked measured, guaranteed, limit, or empty.
  • The reviewer who issued it.

Issuing

Issuing freezes the document. Generating it again creates a new version. A manual edit of a number is not a path in the product. A change belongs in the recipe, the template, or the configuration, and it produces a new report beside the one already issued.
