This function is used to define all the possible responses to a question.

The response tables can be used in the technical sheets and the associated questions (see the Technical sheet, Question documentation), but also in the setup of the Configurator function.

    Screen management

    A response table contains a code using three characters and a description. A grid is then used to describe all the possible values in this table.

    Entry screen

    Presentation

    Based on the table type, these responses can be either alphanumeric or numeric (with a maximum of 20 characters in both cases) and associated with a description code.

    During a quality control, when the user responds to a question and where the response is checked against a response table, the system verifies that the response given belongs to the list of values that are associated with the question.
