Selecting part numbers or processes to display

In the List Contents field on the DMS Charts dialog, you can select whether to display a list of part numbers or a list of processes from which to choose. If you have established a Priority list, this option will also be available (otherwise it is hidden from view).

A priority list is a short list of items that is set up for each user or group name. When you use priority lists, each person who logs in can work with the short list of items they use the most. See Priority Lists for more information.

Note: If you select all DMS standards or processes:

  • GainSeeker will proceed as if the Skip single charts with no data and Skip statistics table rows with no data check boxes were selected. Any standards or processes that do not have data for the specified filter and date period will not be listed in any of the charts or reports.

  • GainSeeker will analyze the DMS data as a single retrieval instead of analyzing each part or process separately - even if you select charts from the One window for each retrieval group list or the One window for all (multiple retrievals) list.

  • If you refresh the DMS chart windows or save them in a Desktop, any new standards or process that you add in the future will be included for data analysis if they have data for the specified filter and date period.

Narrow the list of standards to include only those with data meeting specific date ranges or filter criteria—
