Define Default Values for Control Indicators

In this step, you define control keys for the attributes of inspection characteristics.
The control key is used to propose or predefine the control indicators for the master inspection characteristics and inspection plan
characteristics.
After you have specified in the control key whether or not the indicators will be predefined and whether the characteristic is quantitative or
qualitative, you must define various characteristic attributes. Refer to the F1-documentation for information about the control indicators
contained in the key.
