The main purpose of the shift report form is to guide the shift crew through the principal tasks which must be performed during the offline QA shifts. The QA team has made every effort to keep this form simple and compact. During Run 3 last year we introduced a simplified form which we are again using for Run 4. The emphasis of the reports should be on substantive, detailed comments. Comments should be succinct, but lucid enough so that anyone reading the report can understand the reason(s) for marking the job as suspect. The compactness of the report form does not however diminish the responsibility of each shift crew member to carefully scrutinize all the available information about each production job and to write a clear, verbal description of suspected problems.
An Offline QA Web based report form is provided. The fields are described on the form and should be self explanatory. Upon completion of this form an ASCII text version is automatically generated and emailed to 'starqa-hn' for distribution and archived as a permanent record. If the web page is unavailable an ASCII text template is also available (see year 2002 QA shift report instructions page). As in Run III, your QA report will be automatically linked to the Online Run Log for that run ID number.
Please follow the instructions in the top panel and elsewhere on the report web forms. Please complete all information on the forms.
If problems are suspected you must contact by email and telephone, if necessary, the appropriate QA Experts or Other Experts. Enter the names of the people and/or mailing lists which were notified in the final section of the report form.
