Configuring SPC data and DMS data Retrievals for dashboard controls

Select a Part Number or Process and configure multiple Settings for an SPC data or DMS data retrieval for a dashboard control using the Retrieval Settings for Dashboard Control dialog box.

The Retrieval Settings for Dashboard Control dialog box opens after an SPC data or DMS data retrieval is edited or created on the Dashboard Control Retrieval dialog box with the Edit... or New... buttons.

Using the Part Number tab

The Retrieval Settings for Dashboard Control dialog box opens with the Part Number tab selected. The Part Number list for SPC retrieval and the Process list for DMS retrieval is displayed, depending on whether SPC or DMS was selected for a particular dashboard control when it was created. For more information, see setting a control to retrieve DMS or SPC data.

You can select one or more SPC standards or DMS standards or processes.

For any SPC data or SPC data (scripted) retrieval with multiple standards, filters, or date periods, you can use a Chart control or a Data Table control to analyze all of the data retrieved. All other controls will analyze only the first combination of SPC standard, date period, and filter in the retrieval.
