Shared labels (DMS and SPC)

You can customize the labels that GainSeeker uses by default for a configuration. This topic features shared DMS and SPC label settings.

Navigating to these settings

Navigate to these settings on the Configuration tab of the Systems Administration module following this path:

Chart overrides | (configuration name) | User-defined labels | Shared (DMS and SPC)

Chart limit labels

These labels designate the lines for the upper control limit, the data mean, the lower control limit, the upper gate limit, the midpoint between the upper and lower gate limits, and the lower gate limit on charts. If you display more than one set of limits on charts, the best practice is to keep these labels as short as possible.

To change any of these labels:

• Right-click the setting and then enter the new label name in the Enter value dialog that opens.

Control label

This label is applied to control limits that are automatically calculated from the data set retrieved for a chart or report.

To change this label:

• Right-click the Control label setting and enter the new label text in the Enter value dialog that opens.

Gate label

Gate limits represent historical control limits. Each standard allows you to set up gate limits for the specified part number and characteristic.

Typically, data is collected from a process during a control period, and from this data, historical control limits are established and stored as gate limits in the standard. In future studies, you can then compare the historical control limits (gates) with calculated control limits. However, if most people in your company use a different term to describe historical control limits, you may want to change this label to that term throughout GainSeeker.

To change this label:

• Right-click the Gate label setting and then enter the new label text in the Enter value dialog that opens.

Part label

This term represents how the units produced by your company are described. Part Number, Item Number, Product Code, and Product ID are a few of the typical part labels used in GainSeeker. The part label is used to designate standards throughout GainSeeker.

To change this label:

• Right-click the Part label setting and then enter the new label text in the Enter value dialog that opens.

If you attempt to use a label that is assigned to a process label, plural defect label, or any non-blank traceability label, GainSeeker displays an error message, prompting you to enter another label name. GainSeeker also prohibits you from setting the label text to one of the Words reserved for Part labels

Print title / Company name

You can display a company name, chart title, or other text above a chart.

To assign this label:

• Right-click the Print title / Company name setting and then enter text in the Enter value dialog that opens.

Process label

This label is used to refer to DMS and Short Run processes in GainSeeker.

To change this label:

• Right-click the Process label setting and then enter the new label text in the Enter value dialog that opens.

If you attempt to use a label that is assigned to a part label, plural defect label, or any non-blank traceability label, GainSeeker displays an error message prompting you to enter other text. GainSeeker also prohibits you from setting the label text to one of the Words reserved for Process Labels
