Question numbers match their folders: folder 01 contains 01-01, 01-02 and so on. The starter dashboard uses 01-05, 01-08 and 01-02; process filter values come from 01-20. OBP identities and SQL filenames remain stable.
Find a control name or a column you do not recognize. Read the definition for the relevant question: similar labels can mean different things in stock, orders and runs.
Controls and basic concepts
Question
A saved answer shown as a table, chart or single number. Open it from the collection, then add it as a dashboard card.
Collection
A folder-like location for questions and dashboards. The source subcollection is for maintenance; use the main collection in the exercises.
Dashboard and card
A dashboard groups saved questions. A card is one appearance of a question inside it; several dashboards can reuse one question.
Filter and Label
A filter narrows results. Label changes its displayed name, not the data column or source calculation.
Column to filter on
The existing output column selected on each card while connecting a dashboard filter.
Dropdown list and its value source
The list of selectable values. Under Edit, From another model or question selects the source and Column to supply the values selects its output column. Supplying values does not map the filter to cards.
Is
Matches the chosen value. Use a value actually present in your data.
A single value, Multiple values and No default
Control selection and initial state in filter settings. Test the intended selection after saving.
Done and Save
Done closes the current panel or dialog. Save on the dashboard stores the dashboard changes; you still need both in the filter workflow.
Refresh and Auto Refresh
Rerun results once or repeatedly. Neither proves source synchronization has already completed.
Summarize
Aggregates the current question result further. Counting summarized rows is not counting raw source records.
Work order, run and stock record
An order is an instruction to perform work; a run/session is an execution on a unit, batch or quantity; a stock record can represent a unit, batch or material quantity. A run is not a user sign-in session.
Dimension and measure
A dimension groups or filters, such as process, SKU or month. A measure is a calculated value such as a count or median hours.
Median and P90
The median is the middle of a distribution; approximate P90 indicates a value around which 90% of observations are at or below it. Read sample size and the eligible population.
Blank and zero
Blank can mean missing information. Zero is a numeric value and can be a default. Neither by itself certifies complete reporting.
Report columns
Each entry gives the English output label, meaning and applicable question numbers. If a saved question uses different localized labels, compare its source and number; this glossary describes the English SQL variants.
Identifiers and assignment
Work order
The recorded work-order number. Identifies the order, not the individual unit's serial number.
Questions: 01-02.
SKU
The part identifier recorded on the order, run or stock record, according to the question. It is not an individual-unit identifier.

Run ID
The internal production-run/session identifier, not the work-order number. Displayed as a value rather than a built-in report link.
Questions: 02-04, 02-09, 03-03, 02-14.
Item revision
Product/item revision stored on stock in 03-02–03-03, not the workflow version.

Creation month
Creation month of runs in 02-10 or stock records in 03-05. These questions count different record types.
Questions: 02-10, 03-05.
Report-start week
The week when time reporting started, not the week when the report closed.
Questions: 04-01.
Order completion date
Actual completion timestamp recorded on a closed work order, not the end of one particular run.
Questions: 01-16.
Run end
Recorded end timestamp for the run, not for the whole work order.
Questions: 02-14.
Due month
The month containing the order's due timestamp. Question 01-17 excludes orders without a due date.

Questions: 01-02, 01-08, 02-09.
Order age
Elapsed time since creation of an open order, grouped using 7,03-02 and 90-day boundaries. Not days overdue. Missing creation dates currently fall into 01-07's oldest bucket; that is a classification limitation, not a known age.

Days overdue
Whole-day difference between a passed due date and query execution. Applies to NEW and IN_PROGRESS orders with a past due timestamp.
Questions: 01-08.
Run status

Reported next step
Next action reported on the grouped runs. Question 02-03 groups process, next step and next chapter together.
Questions: 02-03.
Next chapter
The next chapter recorded on the run. A chapter groups workflow steps; it is distinct from the chapter on a time report.
Questions: 02-03.
Next step

Questions: 02-09.
Stock status
Status stored on the stock record, separate from that record's production status.
Questions: 03-01, 03-03, 03-04.
Production status
Production status stored on a stock record. Do not substitute stock, run or order status for it.

Recorded quantity
Sum of recorded quantities in finished runs of the SKU. Quantity is different from run count and is not necessarily good quantity.
Questions: 02-06.
Reported good quantity
Good quantity reported on work orders, summed by SKU. Not a test-pass percentage.

Median net hours
Median recorded run net time in hours. NULL is excluded; zero and negative values can currently enter the calculation. Not employee attendance time.
Questions: 02-08.
Median elapsed hours
Median elapsed time from run start to end. The difference from net time does not measure a cause of waiting.
Questions: 02-08.
Median waiting days
Approximate median days from release to work start. Missing release falls back to creation.
Questions: 02-12.
Reported hours
Decimal hours summed from closed reports with duration greater than zero and up to 12 hours each. Overlap is counted in every parallel timer; this is not attendance time.
Questions: 04-01, 04-02, 04-03.
Valid hours up to12 hours
Eligible closed reported hours with duration greater than zero and up to 12 hours. In 04-04–04-05, the report count includes all reports while the hours use only this subset.
Questions: 04-04, 04-05.
Elapsed hours
Individual-run elapsed hours when start and end exist and end is not before start. Blank when no valid duration can be computed.
Questions: 02-14.

Reports over12 hours
Closed reports whose stored duration exceeds 12 hours. A fixed question threshold, not an organizational shift definition.
Questions: 04-08.
Reports changed after closing
Reports whose current end timestamp differs from the first stored end. Does not give the reason or editor identity.
Questions: 04-09.
Approval status
Stored manager-approval status. Missing is displayed as NOT_NEEDED, which does not establish an approval process is in use.
Questions: 04-10.
Report run assignment
Time reports grouped by zero, one or multiple stored run links. Does not allocate report duration between linked runs.
Questions: 06-06.
Data completeness and kits
Calculated from creation
Count of observations using creation instead of missing release: lead time in 01-11 and waiting time in 02-12. This is a count, not a duration.

Questions: 06-04.
With positive net time
Finished runs with stored net time greater than zero. Checks positivity, not reporting accuracy.
Questions: 06-05.
Without positive net time
Finished runs with missing, zero or negative net time. Does not prove no work was performed.
Questions: 06-05.

The form-definition name for the saved records.05-01–05-02 concern records, not the answers within form fields.
Questions: 05-01, 05-02.
Original status
Raw status saved on the form record. Meaning depends on the form process. A blank is not automatically open.
Questions: 05-02.
Workflow version
Workflow-definition version in 05-03, not the product revision.
Questions: 05-03.
Version status
