POM and Measurement Set Updates
Adding POMs
You can add points of measure (POMs) to an existing product measurement set, and by extension the current sample, from the Fit Information tab of the Update Sample Request page.
1. Click Update POMs.
2. In the measurements editor, add POMs to the measurement set and current sample using the measurements editor functionality. Any additions or changes are reflected in the product measurement set, as viewed from the product measurements page.
3. Click Save & Check In. The system returns you to the Update Sample Request page, where your changes are reflected.
Updating POM Values
On the Update Sample Request page, on the Fit Information tab, you can update the measurement set by entering a new value for a given POM.
1. In the New Measurement column, enter a new numerical value for the POM.
2. In the Update Measurement Set column, select the checkbox in the same row where you made the update.
3. Click Save.
Using Function Keys
Function keys F1–F7 represent fractions when entering measurement values for measurement sets and samples. For example, if you enter 10 and then select F1, the system enters 10 1/8 in the cell. If you select F1 without a numeric value, the system enters 1/8 in the cell. The function keys represent the following fractions:
F1 = 1/8
F2 = 1/4
F3 = 3/8
F4 = 1/2
F5 = 5/8
F6 = 3/4
F7 = 7/8
Enabling Measurement Set Updates for All Sizes
By default, you can only update the POM values for those samples whose size is the base size of the associated measurement set. This functionality is controlled through a single property setting whose out-of-the-box value is set to false.
jsp.testing.FitApproval.UpdateNonBasedSizeValues=false
Setting this property to true allows you to update the POM values for non-base size samples.
jsp.testing.FitApproval.UpdateNonBasedSizeValues=true
Applying POM and Measurement Set Updates
Changes or additions to the product measurement set from the sample are immediately reflected in the product measurement set. However, the system does not automatically update other samples that are using the same measurement set.
To apply any updates from a product measurement set that has been updated through samples functionality, click Re-Apply POMs on the Update Sample Request page for any affected sample.
When a new measurement is added during a sample evaluation for measured samples, the new value appears as red, bold and italic. Administrators can control the color and style through a property setting. This color and style appears in the system wherever new measurement values are shown. It also appears in the tech pack PDF output as part of the Measurements: FitSpec report.
Selecting or Clearing Rows by Default in the Update Measurement Set Column
To select or clear all rows by default in the Update Measurement Set column on the Fit Information tab of the Update Sample Request page, use the following property:
jsp.testing.FitApproval.pomUpdateMeasurementSetDefaultChecked
Setting this property to true selects all rows by default.
