Traceability review

ATS Trace

ATS Trace helps authorized QA/QC users review weld traceability evidence across workbook-backed records, register evidence, material and consumable checks, welder evidence, WPS context, and review reporting.

Primary use

Read-only weld traceability review for QA and MDR evidence workflows.

For read-only workbook review when QA/QC users need a clearer view of trace evidence, missing links, conflicting records, and review report output.

Read-only trace review

v0.1 uses a non-data visual until a sanitized ATS Trace demo state is reviewed and approved.

No real workbook, client, project, welder, user, path, or company data is shown.

At a glance

Practical role and public boundary.

Workflow role

Read-only traceability review and QA/MDR evidence support.

Source posture

Protects source records while surfacing review context.

Review value

Groups trace, material, consumable, welder, and WPS evidence for review.

User boundary

Supports review preparation; it does not validate or sign off compliance.

Operator flow

Structured to reduce manual searching and ambiguous handoff.

01

Load review context

Open the authorized traceability context without changing the source workbook records.

02

Filter evidence

Narrow dense trace data into practical review slices for material, consumable, welder, or WPS checks.

03

Review grouped findings

Compare related evidence groups so missing or conflicting records are easier to spot.

04

Prepare review output

Support QA/MDR review reporting while leaving acceptance and sign-off decisions to authorized review.

Inputs

Expected source context.

  • Authorized weld traceability workbook context.
  • Material, consumable, welder, WPS, and register evidence.
  • Reviewer-selected filter and report scope.

Outputs

Reviewable result.

  • Grouped traceability review evidence.
  • Filter-driven review context.
  • Review report support without source-record mutation.

Does

What the tool is built to support.

  • Supports read-only traceability review.
  • Groups material, consumable, welder, and WPS evidence for practical QA review.
  • Helps prepare review output for QA/MDR workflows.
  • Preserves the boundary around protected source records.

Does not

Authority and privacy boundaries.

  • Does not accept welds or validate reports.
  • Does not certify compliance or replace authorized sign-off.
  • Does not edit source traceability workbooks.
  • Does not publish source records, reports, or private workbook details.

Install and access

Private release handling.

  • Use only the release package issued through an authorized channel.
  • Confirm the reviewed version before comparing support or release notes.
  • Keep review outputs inside the approved project or support path.

Support guidance

Useful context without private data.

  • Include the app version, review area, filter context, and a sanitized description of the issue.
  • State whether the issue affects loading, filtering, evidence grouping, or report preparation.
  • Remove workbook names, project names, and report identifiers before sharing screenshots.

Visual status

Product screenshots are deferred until a sanitized demo state is approved.

This v0.1 page uses a composed non-data workflow visual. Actual product screenshots must pass the demo-only screenshot safety workflow before being added to the public site.
