Selecting Part Numbers or Processes
Use the Part Number tab on the
SPC Charts dialog to select multiple
standards (part numbers)
or short run processes for SPC retrieval Charts.
One or more standards or processes must be selected. If you select all
of the existing SPC standards or all existing processes, GainSeeker will
analyze data for all—including
any you may add in the future.

Selecting a list of part numbers or short run processes to display
In the List Contents field on
the SPC Charts dialog, you can
select whether to display a list of part numbers or a list of short run
processes from which to choose. If you have established a Priority
list, this option will also be available (otherwise it is hidden
from view).
A priority list is a short list of items that is set up for each user
or group name. When you use priority lists, each person who logs in can
work with the short list of items they use the most. See Priority
Lists for more information.

 Note:
If you select all SPC standards:
GainSeeker will proceed as if the Skip
single charts with no data and Skip
retrievals with no data on multiple charts check
boxes were selected. Any standards that do not have
data for the specified filter and date period will
not be listed in any of the charts or reports. If you store the resulting Individual
Charts in a Desktop, opening that Desktop will
only show the charts that were displayed when the
Desktop was saved. Any SPC standards that did not
have data when the desktop was saved, but now have
data when you are opening the Desktop, will not be
included in that Desktop. Similarly, if you generate Summary
Charts, any changes (e.g., Filter or Date Period)
or updates (e.g., refreshing the chart or storing
it in a Desktop and opening that Desktop later) will
be limited to SPC standards that originally returned
data when you first created the chart. |

include only those with data meeting specific date ranges or filter
criteria— |
Click the Restrict button on the Part
Number tab. See Using
