About Priority lists

This topic contains information about the legacy Priority List Editor, which is being phased out from GainSeeker Suite. It is still available for use in the current version of GainSeeker, but is being replaced by the new Priority List Editor function in the GainSeeker Utility module.

Using priority lists

A priority list is a “short list” of items that is set for each user or group name. When you use priority lists, each person who logs in to GainSeeker can work with the small group of items that they use the most. Priority lists are especially useful if you have large databases or databases that span multiple departments. Priority lists also provide added security when you use the system on the Internet with WebSPC.

For each user or group name in GainSeeker, you can set up a priority list for one or more of these items:

• Standards

• Desktops

• Traceability lists (used only with the TRACE_OPT command or other template commands during SPC Data Entry)

If you set up priority lists for standards, for example, these priority lists determine which part numbers each user sees, according to the user or group name used to log into GainSeeker.

Or maybe you set up a priority list for the traceability field Operator so that when someone logs in to the SPC Data Entry module with the user or group name for a particular department, they can only choose from a short list of operators who work in that particular department.
