Shared Chart defaults (SPC, DMS, and OEE)

In the GainSeeker System Administration module, you can change the default settings for charts. Customizing these options to meet your organization's needs can make routine analysis and charting activities faster and more convenient. This topic features settings that DMS and SPC charts share.

Most of these options can also be temporarily changed for a chart using the Settings tab when a chart is first drawn or when it is open. Settings tab settings are temporary in that each time the GainSeeker Charts module is closed, the settings revert back to the default settings established in the GainSeeker System Administration module .
