2.10 Turning in exams

This chapter explains, how you can turn in a finished Item in Teamcenter to get it graded. To achieve this, you have to start a turn-in-process ("Abgabe-Prozess") in Teamcenter.
Understanding this process is critical! If you fail to turn in an Item during the exam phases, the item is going to be graded with 0 points!

Attention:
  • The turn-in-processes ("Abgabe-Prozesse") "Abgabe_PA1", "Abgabe_PA2" and "Abgabe_PA3" are irreversible processes!
  • Items you turned in can NOT be edited any more. The processes are NOT reversible!
  • For one turn-in-process only ONE ITEM can be turned in!
  • You have to use a separate process for every item.
  • The processes "Abgabe_PA1", "Abgabe_PA2" and "Abgabe_PA3" are only visible during the respective exam phases.

Completing a turn-in-process

To start the turn-in-process, mark the Revision of the item that you want to be graded on. (refer figure "Revision marked")

If necessary, read chapter 2.7 "creating a new item" again, if you can't remember what's an item or what's a revision!

Once it is marked (highlighted blue), click File -> New -> Workflow Process....

Attention:
  • Before starting a turn-in-process, the item has to be closed in NX first.
  • When turning in assemblies you only have to turn in the assemblie's revision. Every sub-assembly or model it contains will automatically be turned in.

Check your turn-in-process

Now there should be two process-icons altalt, as well as the status alt added next to the revision (refer figure "turn-in-process completed").

Attention:
  • If you can't see two process icons and the status, please ask your tutor! Plan ahead: You should take enough time to finish the turn-in-process. Otherwise, if you encounter any problems during the turn-in-process, you might not be able to finish the process in time.

Possible Issues

The following issues can cause your turn-in-process to fail:

  • You did not select the Item-Revision --> refer figure "Item-Revision"
  • You did not close the Item in NX --> close it
  • The Item (Dataset) is not checked in --> in Teamcenter, click the Dataset (UGMaster) with the RMB and
    choose Check-in/out-> Check-in. Note: Dataset and revision are NOT the same.
