Note: This topic contains information about the legacy SPC Database Monitor module, which is being phased out from GainSeeker Suite. It is still available for use, but is being replaced by the Monitor Table chart window in the newer GainSeeker Charts module. |
You can use a Filter to analyze only the monitor records that meet your criteria for a traceability field, corrective action, bypass, date/time, or standard. You can also use a Filter to sort data in order by a value other than the date/time stamp.
Filters are stored in the program and can be used again to analyze data without having to create a new filter each time. They can also be edited and deleted.
To set or clear a filter for the current monitor window, click the Options menu (or Opts in PDA mode on very small displays) and then click Filter. This will display the Monitor Filter screen:
