# Base of inspection

## Base of inspection

Base of inspection is the reference list where you maintain the named bases used for warehouse
inspection work. It is one of the lists under the warehouse configuration area, alongside inspection
checklists, inspection documents, transfer reasons, and service types.

| If you need to… | Go to |
|---|---|
| Find the list and recognise its columns | [Find the reference list](#find-the-reference-list) |
| Understand the list and its entry field | [Understand the list and entry form](#understand-the-list-and-entry-form) |
| Open an entry, enter its name, or cancel deletion | [Open an entry and cancel deletion](#open-an-entry-and-cancel-deletion) |
| Check which controls your access provides | [Handle access and configuration variations](#handle-access-and-configuration-variations) |
| Resolve a validation or maintenance message | [When maintenance does not work](#when-maintenance-does-not-work) |
| Maintain inspection checklists | [Inspection checklist](doc:configuration-warehouse-inspection-checklist) |
| Maintain inspection documents | [Inspection documents](doc:configuration-warehouse-inspection-documents) |
| Maintain transfer reasons | [Transfer reasons](doc:configuration-warehouse-transfer-reasons) |
| Maintain service types | [Service types](doc:configuration-warehouse-service-types) |

## Before you start

You need access to the configuration area and a name for each base you add. The **Name** field is
required for this list. The controls available to you depend on your access and on the list's
configuration.

Prerequisites

- Sign in and select **Base Of Inspection** in the warehouse configuration area.
- Have the name you want to maintain ready before opening the entry form.
- Check the controls shown on your screen before choosing a maintenance action.

## Find the reference list

Use the page title and visible sibling labels to distinguish this list from the other warehouse
configuration lists.

Prerequisites

- Be signed in to PAMS.

Steps

1. Select **Base Of Inspection** in the warehouse configuration area.
2. Confirm that the page heading reads **Base of inspection**.
3. Confirm that the surrounding warehouse configuration area includes **Base Of Inspection**,
   **Inspection Checklist**, **Inspection Document**, **Transfer Reasons**, **Service Types**, and
   **Stock Withdrawal And Valuation**.

![Check the Base of inspection heading and the warehouse reference-list navigation.](https://atloriaassets.blob.core.windows.net/assets/a438221c-c1af-407c-b9e6-a56c986db846/b7ea8c0c2a425c3edad5836d70189920.png)

**Result:** The Base of inspection reference list is open.

## Understand the list and entry form

The list shows the inspection-base names available in your configuration and draws one `Name` column.
The entry form uses **Name** as its visible text field.

| Area | What you use there | When it appears |
|---|---|---|
| List | `Name` | On the reference list |
| Entry form | **Name** | When a new or existing entry is open |
| List header | **New** | When the new-entry action is available |
| List header | **Refresh** | As an icon-only list control |
| List header | `Settings` | As an icon-only list control |

Only **Name** is a visible entry field on this list. The shared form shows a configured text field when the entry form
is open and the selected column is marked visible in the form. Its required marker follows the
configuration for that column.

![Check the Name column and the New, Refresh, and Settings controls.](https://atloriaassets.blob.core.windows.net/assets/a438221c-c1af-407c-b9e6-a56c986db846/1cb08c4e3a57b0a3854c4d53cf626a63.png)

## Open an entry and cancel deletion

Open a new or existing entry to work with its **Name**, or open the delete menu and cancel when you
decide not to remove a row.

Prerequisites

- Know the name to enter.
- Confirm that **New**, **Edit**, or **Delete** is available for the action you need.

Steps

1. Open the entry you need:

   | If you need to… | Select |
   |---|---|
   | Start a new entry | **New** |
   | Open an existing entry | **Edit** on the selected row |

   The new-entry dialog is titled **New Base of inspection**.

2. Enter the base name in **Name** when adding or changing an entry.
3. Select **Delete** on the selected row when you need to open its delete menu.
4. Read `Are you sure you want to delete this item?`.
5. Select **Cancel** to close the delete menu without removing the row.

![Check the entry form and its Name field.](https://atloriaassets.blob.core.windows.net/assets/a438221c-c1af-407c-b9e6-a56c986db846/2459e44b70968b80347fd09228a8b5a0.png)

**Result:** The **Name** field is open for a new or existing entry, or the delete menu closes without
removing the row when you select **Cancel**.

## Handle access and configuration variations

The list can show different maintenance controls and columns according to your access and the
configuration assigned to the list. Work from the controls and column headers currently visible on
your screen.

Prerequisites

- Have the Base of inspection list open.

Steps

1. Choose the action that matches the control available to you:

   | What you see | What to do |
   |---|---|
   | **New** | Select **New** to start an entry. |
   | **Edit** | Select **Edit** on the row you need to change. |
   | **Delete** | Select **Delete** on the row you need to remove. |
   | **Export** | Use the export action when it is available in the settings controls. |

2. Use the headers currently shown in the list when the configured column set differs from another
   user's list.

**Result:** You use only the maintenance action and list columns available in your configuration.

## When maintenance does not work

Use the message on screen to choose the next action.

| Message | What to do |
|---|---|
| `\<field caption> is required` | Enter a value in the required field, such as **Name**, then try the form action again. |
| `Just '_' '-' And '.' Characters Accepted` | Remove characters other than letters, numbers, underscores, hyphens, and periods from the affected value. |
| `Forbidden characters detected. Please remove them and try again.` | Remove the forbidden characters from the filter value and try again. |
| `Data updated Successfully` | Read the message as the response to the attempted update. |
| `Data saved Successfully` | Read the message as the response to the attempted save. |
| `Data Deleted Successfully` | Read the message as the response to the attempted deletion. |
| `Related to Saved data, Can't be deleted` | Keep the row and remove the related saved data before trying again. |
| `Failed to Delete` | Do not repeat the removal until you have checked the row and your access. |
| `Must have at least one item` | Keep at least one entry in the list. |
| `Data Importing completed` | Continue after the import finishes. |

## Continue with related warehouse lists

The warehouse configuration area groups related reference lists together. Choose the sibling list
that matches the next type of value you need to maintain.

| If you need to maintain… | Go to |
|---|---|
| Inspection checklist values | [Inspection checklist](doc:configuration-warehouse-inspection-checklist) |
| Inspection document values | [Inspection documents](doc:configuration-warehouse-inspection-documents) |
| Transfer-reason values | [Transfer reasons](doc:configuration-warehouse-transfer-reasons) |
| Service-type values | [Service types](doc:configuration-warehouse-service-types) |

**Result:** You are in the reference-list page that owns the next warehouse configuration task.
