Set up the evaluation site and prepare support evidence

Read site readiness, activity and health without confusing administrative evidence with engineering approval.

Review edition · 25 October 2026 · For Owner, Supervisor, Reviewer

On this page

FactorySpec administration establishes an attributable evaluation workspace and preserves support evidence. It does not qualify an engineering family or make results fit for manufacture. Use Owner for site creation and administration, and the additional working role for authoring, review or configuration acceptance.

Establish the correct evaluation site

In Set up your engineering workspace, check the organisation, enter Site name and select Time zone, then Create site. Complete Accounts verification as requested. Creating the workspace does not start a subscription or approve a family for manufacture. Use the organisation's access arrangements to provide Author, independent Reviewer and Supervisor responsibilities.

Use the isolated practice workspace where offered to understand the fictional frame kit. Its controlled results remain practice evidence. When returning to real work, confirm the current organisation, site and active family before preparing any evaluation. Roles and actions explains the working permissions and independent people.

Read readiness before changing admission

Owner or Supervisor can open Site readiness. Inspect the current admission, export and recovery evidence and the work it identifies. Use Archives and recovery for Request exit archive, download verification, restore reconciliation and deliberate pause or closure. These actions have different role and evidence checks; reading readiness is not authority to clear an engineering hold.

Plan and usage is Owner administration for the real site. Read the current commercial position and named admission restriction rather than removing engineering evidence to get around it. Accounts remains the source of organisation and product grants.

Inspect Activity with the affected record

Activity records attributable actions. Use the action, person and related record references to identify the release, configuration, result or handover being discussed. Then open the actual current record and read its eligibility and follow-up. An earlier successful action does not prove the record is eligible now or that physical work happened.

Results, Result lookup and the retained calculation replay have their separate views in Results and replay. Operator lookup deliberately exposes less engineering source detail than an authorised office view.

Prepare a private diagnostic deliberately

Owner or Supervisor can read Service health for supporting-service status. An Owner uses Private support diagnostic when support evidence is required. Select Activity window, such as Current state only or an offered recent period, then Download private diagnostic. Complete recent identity verification when requested and wait for the actual file download.

The diagnostic includes build information, service checks and record counts while excluding customer inputs, engineering models, credentials and recipient details. Keep it private and review it before deliberately sharing it through the organisation's support process. Downloading it does not itself send a message, settle a held result or record engineering approval.

If the request is refused, follow the displayed identity, rate or service instruction, retaining the relevant result or archive reference. A working web page, a diagnostic file and a passing controlled example remain separate from customer engineering and equipment qualification.
