Welder's detail page with traffic light continuity data

1. The number of WPQs (WQTRs) that are shown like in a traffic light;
   
2. The qualifications by process column with their continuity status;
3. Click here to view the continuity report for the welder;
   
4. Click here to export the detailed welder's log. Each welder’s log will have a list of all welds ever done by a welder, listed by project, WPS, process and type, inspection and non-destructive testing results;

1. This screenshot is for the welder continuity report of a welder. This report will show one line per process-type combination with the status of the process shown as days elapsed in the far right hand side column. If the number is in red, it means that the process for that welder has expired (and as a result any of the WPQs that may use that process cannot be used in a project in WeldTrace);
   
2. When you open the accordion by clicking on the ">" icon, the data set for that process-type combination will be revealed;
   
3. You will see one line for each WPQ with the test date, WPS number and if the data came from a project, the project number, weld number and the pass welded will be shown;
   
4. If the details in this row for the project number, weld number and pass are empty, it means that the welder has not performed any weld to that process-type combination since he was tested;
   
5. The test date will also appear in the "Date Welded" column. The expiry date will be calculated from this date;
   
6. In this case, the welder last welded for this process and to that specific WPQ in a project and the latest of the welds for this process-type combination will be shown here;
   
7. If there is more than one qualification for that process-type combination, the WPQ that was used in the project will display the project number, weld number and pass. Only the pass the welder laid the weld will be shown here. If this welder welded all 3 passes, this column will show "Root, Fill, Cap";
8. If the number of days elapsed is less than six months, the number will appear in normal colour;
9. The number of days elapsed shown in red for process that have expired;

1. In the “Lite” version there will be no projects module, so the continuity records cannot be updated automatically;
2. Even when the projects module is available, welder qualifications performed more than 6 months prior to the current date cannot be added to a project as they would show up expired when selected;
   
3. People sometimes miss entering data and let a welder's continuity expire;

Manual welder continuity extension form

1. There will be one line for each process-type combination for all the welders whose continuity for that process has expired;
   
2. The welder ID and their name will be shown in this column;
   
3. The last performed date and the expiry date will be shown here;
   
4. You may enter the details of the last weld performed to that process. The project number, weld number and date welded fields are mandatory. The standard is optional. Click save to update the welder continuity records for specific welders;
   

This manual welder continuity extension method will not extend the expiry date for WPQs created in WT for ISO 9606 and when an expiry date is entered for ASME IX WPQs;
