Enable Quality Control Reminder#
The Enable Quality Control Reminder setting controls whether Fabritec sends reminders related to quality control inspection requests.When this option is enabled, the system helps remind the responsible users about pending or upcoming inspection actions, reducing the risk of missed quality checks.This is especially useful for production environments where multiple stages require inspection before items can continue to the next production step.
How It Works#
Use the toggle beside Enable Quality Control Reminder to turn the setting on or off.ON: Fabritec enables quality control reminders.
OFF: Quality control reminders are disabled.
When to Enable This Setting#
Enable this setting when your factory needs tighter control over inspection follow-ups, especially when:Multiple production stages require quality inspection
QC teams manage a high volume of inspection requests
Delayed inspection responses may slow down production
Rework and quality approvals need stronger follow-up discipline
Notification Retention Period#
The Notification Retention Period setting defines how long notifications remain stored in Fabritec before they are automatically deleted.This helps keep the notification center clean, organized, and focused on recent system activity.
Available Options#
The system allows you to select a retention period such as:The selected value determines how long notifications remain available before automatic cleanup.
How It Works#
Notifications older than the selected period are automatically deleted by the system.If the retention period is set to 30 days, any notification older than 30 days will be removed automatically.A note appears under the field explaining that notifications older than the selected period will be deleted automatically every day at midnight.
Recommended Use#
| Retention Period | Recommended Use Case |
|---|
| 30 days | Best for high-volume environments with many daily notifications |
| 60 days | Suitable for balanced operational tracking |
| 90 days | Useful when teams need a longer notification history for review or audit purposes |
Include Erection by Default for Projects#

OFF: Erection will not be included automatically and can be managed manually when needed.
When to Enable This Setting#
Enable this option if your company commonly manages projects that include erection or site installation work.This is useful for companies that handle:Steel structure installation
Full project delivery from production to installation
When to Keep It Disabled#
Keep this setting disabled if your company mainly handles:Projects where erection is managed outside Fabritec
Cases where erection is not required for every project
Require Confirmation for Entering Shipping Yard#
The Require confirmation for entering shipping yard setting controls whether items must be confirmed before they enter the shipping yard.When enabled, Fabritec requires a confirmation step before completed production items are officially moved into the shipping yard.This adds more control to the transition between production completion and shipping readiness.
How It Works#
Use the toggle beside Require confirmation for entering shipping yard to enable or disable the confirmation requirement.ON: Items must be confirmed before entering the shipping yard.
OFF: Items can enter the shipping yard without an additional confirmation step.
Why This Setting Matters#
This setting helps ensure that only verified and ready items enter the shipping yard.It supports better control over:Production-to-shipping handoff
When to Enable This Setting#
Enable this option when your factory needs strict control before items are moved to the shipping yard.This is recommended when:Items must be physically verified before shipping
The shipping team needs accurate yard quantities
Production and logistics teams are separate
Dispatch errors must be reduced
Management needs stronger traceability between production and shipping
Important Notes#
Settings on this page are global and may affect all projects and users.
Only authorized users should update these settings.
Changes may affect operational workflows immediately.
Admins should review these settings during the initial system setup.
Settings should reflect the company’s real production, quality, and shipping workflow.
Best Practices#
Enable Quality Control Reminder if inspection delays affect production flow.
Choose a notification retention period that matches your reporting and review needs.
Enable Include erection by default for projects only if erection is commonly part of your project scope.
Enable Require confirmation for entering shipping yard when your shipping process requires strong control and verification.
Avoid changing global settings without informing affected teams.
Review these settings regularly as your operation grows or workflow changes.
Practical Example#
A steel fabrication company wants to improve control between production, quality, and shipping.The admin configures the Settings page as follows:Enable Quality Control Reminder: ON
Notification Retention Period: 30 days
Include erection by default for projects: OFF
Require confirmation for entering shipping yard: ON
QC teams receive better follow-up for inspection actions.
Old notifications are automatically cleared after 30 days.
