# QA Station and the Helper Check

:::download[QA Station analyzer tags]
<a href="/files/quality-resources/qaStationTags.json" download><code>qaStationTags.json</code></a>: a `QA Station` folder with simulated analyzer tags `qds/particleSize` and `qds/density`.
:::

:::action[Create the QA Station asset and tags]

1. Navigate to **Configuration → Ops → Assets** and, under `CoreForge\Philadelphia\Finishing`, add an asset named `QA Station` of type `Line`. Leave OEE disabled; the QA Station doesn't produce anything.
2. In Ignition Designer, in the `Kanoa` tag provider, select the `CoreForge/Philadelphia/Finishing` folder and import `qaStationTags.json`. The file creates `QA Station/qds`.
3. Confirm `particleSize` and `density` are changing.

A **test fail action** runs when a check fails. It can email a person or team, or issue another check sheet. A follow-up check gives failure handling a structure, such as a photo, a disposition, or a corrective action, rather than relying on a comment.

:::action[Build the helper check sheet]

1. In **Configuration → Quality → Check Sheets**, add `QA Station Inspection Failure` in the `CoreForge\Operations` folder.
2. Add one check item, `Inspection Image`: Type `Check`, Data Type `Image`, Enabled and Required.
3. Close the editor and release the sheet. Only released sheets can be issued by a test fail action.

:::caution[Helper sheet not in the list?]
If the helper doesn't appear when you select it as the main sheet's test fail action in the next lesson, start one from **Active Checks**, add an image, and submit it. Then try again.
