You can change the default settings for SPC charts in the GainSeeker System Administration module. Customizing these options to meet your organization's needs can make routine analysis and charting activities faster and more convenient.
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 .

Use this setting to apply a chart skin to charts drawn for SPC retrievals. The default chart skin can be temporarily overridden by users from the Settings tab.
Chart skins included with GainSeeker are added to each configuration when the System Administration module is initially loaded and to any new configurations you might add.
You can also create and name your own skins, which can have practical advantages on decision-making based on data when analysts see data displayed the same way. For more information, See Chart Skins

This setting determines whether the Monitor Table row colors are based on Real-time failure colors or on rules that you define, based on traceability and corrective action values in the data.
If you choose User-Defined Colors, use this window to create and manage the rules for those colors.
For each color rule, choose a Field (traceability, Event, Cause, or Action Taken) and enter the Value you are searching for in that column. Then choose the color that should be applied to the rows where the Field you chose equals the specified Value.
Use the arrow buttons (Top,
Up, Down,
Bottom) to set the priority of
color rules (topmost = highest priority). This is used when any row meets
the criteria for multiple color rules.
For example, using the settings pictured above, a row of data with both
Event = "Burn on Parts" and Cause = "New Material lot"
would be displayed in orange because the rule for the Event is set with
a higher priority (higher on the list) than the rule for the Cause.
The Default
color is used by rows that do not meet the criteria of any of the other
rules. You can change the color for this rule but not delete it or change
its priority.
For example, using the settings pictured above, a row of data that does
not have Event = "Burn on Parts" or Cause = "New Material
lot" would be displayed in green (the color of the Default rule)
because it does not meet the criteria for any of the other rules listed.
