DMS Chart Defaults

GainSeeker allows you to specify several default options for use with the chart builders in the DMS Charts and Reports module. Customizing these default options to suit your needs will make routine analysis and charting activities even faster and more convenient.

Some of these settings are also applied when using the Enterprise Dashboard and Dynamic Reports modules.

To configure default settings for DMS charts, expand the DMS tree.

The method used to plot data and calculate control limits depends on the type of chart being generated:

      • A DPU chart will plot data based on the number of defects relative to the total number of units inspected. Thus, control limit calculations for DPU charts are based on u-type data.

      • A Yield chart will plot data based on the number of defective units relative to the total number of units inspected. Thus, control limit calculations for Yield charts are based on p-type data.

Group data for DPU chart by

To choose the Group by time interval that will be selected by default on Step 2 of the DPU Chart Builder, expand the Group data for DPU chart by tree. Then click the time period – Day, Month, Quarter or Week – that you want to select by default. (The Week is Sunday through Saturday.)

The amount of data you want to display on the chart over the specified date range will influence the time interval you select when you create the DPU chart. For example, DPU data retrieved over a four-year period would best be displayed by Quarter, whereas data retrieved over a one-month period would best be displayed by Day.
