Control data grid Scrolling items option

The Control data grid Scrolling items option on the Settings tab lets you temporarily override the default statistics and traceability items that display on a grid that scrolls with an SPC or DMS chart.

Note: The Control data grid Scrolling items setting and all other settings located in the Chart overrides node of the Settings dialog can be saved as a chart skin that you can apply to any charts. For more information, see Chart Skins

1. 1. The grid can display traceability values, statistics, and other information for each data point on the chart.
      The user can also click on the Note, X-bar, Event, Cause, or Action taken to display more information for that data point.

   2. Use the scrollbar to scroll through multiple pages of data points with corresponding grid items at the top.

Important things to know before getting started

For the scrolling data grid to display on a chart window, the Scroll data on the chart and the Show data grid on the chart options on the Settings tab must be selected:

1. Navigate to these settings on the SPC Settings tab or the DMS Settings tab by following this path:

Chart overrides | Charts | Control chart options.

2. Then, expand Control chart options to display the Scroll data on the chart and the Show data grid on the chart options. Click each item to select it.

Note: When the show data grid on the chart option is selected, GainSeeker automatically displays two grid types above a chart: the scrolling data grid featured in this topic and a data grid header. For information on the data grid header option, see Using the Control data grid header items.

• For information on displaying only the grid featured in this topic, see Displaying only the Control data grid scrolling items

Selecting the number of items to show in a scroll pane

You can select the number of data points to display on the chart window at one time for optimum readability. This allows you to scroll through a range of data values while focusing on a selected number of data points at one time. The example below is set to display 10 items at a time (not all are shown here) as a user scrolls through the data.

See Setting the number of items to show in the scroll pane to set this feature.
