Intent options are the quality tiers you assign to items, for example Flight, Production, and Development. Their order sets their rank: the option at the top is the strictest, highest-quality tier, and rank decreases as you move down. Intent control policies that compare intent, such as kit and install matching, use this ranking.

Add an intent option

  1. In ION, go to Settings > Quality > Intent.
  2. In the Options section, click Add Option.
  3. Type a name in the new option’s value field.

Edit an intent option

  1. In ION, go to Settings > Quality > Intent.
  2. In the Options section, click the value field for the option you want to edit and update the text.
To configure the Inspection Run Required setting for an option, expand the option row and turn Inspection Run Required on or off. When it’s on, receiving inventory that carries this intent automatically creates the part’s inspection runs. When it’s off, those inspection runs aren’t created automatically on receipt.

Reorder intent options

In the Options section, drag an option row by its grip handle to reorder it.

Remove an intent option

  1. In ION, go to Settings > Quality > Intent.
  2. In the Options section, click X next to the option you want to remove.
