Registers

The standing lists, maintained continuously rather than per job. Each opens as a live register with search, filters, export and inline editing.

Ref Register What it holds Review
WMS-E-13 Welding Activity Log Coordination activity — what was raised, by whom, who it was referred to and when it closed Monthly
WMS-A-11 Controlled Standards Register Every standard the system works to, the edition held, its format and location, and when it was last checked against the current edition Annually
WMS-D-10 Training & Competence Matrix Who holds what competence, under which scheme, and when currency was last confirmed On change or annually
WMS-D-01 WPS Register The production welding procedure specifications — what each one actually covers, its range, and the WPQR behind it On change or at re-issue
WMS-D-02 WPQR Register The procedure qualification records behind the WPS — edition, process, material group and test house On change
WMS-D-03 Welder Qualification Register Every welder qualification to BS EN ISO 9606-1 — which WPS, when tested, when it expires, and when the clause 9.2 continuity confirmation is next due Monthly — WI-06
WMS-C-10 WPS / WPQR / Welder Coverage Matrix Which welders may weld to which WPS, the qualifying WPQR, and where coverage is thin On change or at contract review
WMS-D-11 Customer-Specific Requirements Register Requirements imposed by customer documents, what they apply to, and whether the imposing document is held At contract review
WMS-D-06 Material & Consumable Register Parent material and consumables received, by specification, cast or batch number and certificate reference On receipt

Each register carries its own reference, owner, approver and review cadence at the head of its page. Entry counts are not repeated here — the register is the count.

Live registers, where the database is connected

A register opens live: entries are attributed to whoever is signed in, timestamped on the server's clock, and a correction saves a new version rather than overwriting the old one. Rows are retired with a reason, never deleted — every version stays in the row's history.

Where the record database is not connected, a register falls back to the rows held in the controlled workbook, shown read only, and says so at the top of the page.

Which copy is the register

Once a register is live, the database is the register and the workbook becomes the retention export — run /api/export on a schedule and file it on the IDM server. That is a change of controlled copy for WMS-A-11, D-01, D-02, D-03, D-06, D-10, D-11, C-10 and E-13, and the Responsible Welding Coordinator should accept it before the switch is made.

Controlled copy. The controlled master of every document in this system is the file held on the IDM server in the welding management system folder structure. This portal is a controlled view of it. Where the two differ, the server file governs.
