Basics of parameter management

Parameter management is the hierarchical organization and management of test and analysis results. It enables the systematic recording of quantitative (numerical values) and qualitative (descriptive) results in a three-level tree structure.

You can find parameter management in the navigation bar → Settings → Manage parameters.

Main functions of parameter management

Search function

The search function allows you to quickly find parameters, parameter groups, or test groups in the system. The search is based on names, parameter abbreviations, and parameter formulas.

+ Create a test group

Create parent groups to organize your test areas. Groups can be created according to discipline, analysis method, department, subject area, etc.

+ Create a parameter group

Create a new parameter group within a test group. The parameter group bundles parameters that belong together thematically. The optimal number of parameters per group is 2-30.

+ Create a parameter

Create individual parameters to record quantitative (numerical values) or qualitative (descriptive) results.

+ Create examination packages

Create / Edit examination packages

Edit categories

Manage and customize the categories in the system.

Usage statistics

The parameter usage statistics provide an overview of the frequency of use of parameters and groups. They enable you to analyze trends and developments and identify frequently used parameters over different periods of time. They support you in operational analysis (which parameters are used how often?), strategic planning (how is the business developing?), resource optimization (where should capacities be focused?), and quality management (where do measurement repetitions occur?).

Excel export

Export parameters for further processing or documentation.

Display archived parameter groups

Provides access to test groups, parameter groups, and parameters that are no longer actively used but are still stored.
