Marker priority

Each event, failure and operator note, cause, and action taken displays a distinctive marker (symbol) on a Control chart. You can change the priority in which markers display when two markers share a single data point.

This Settings tab option can also be used to temporarily override the markers used for a chart when it is first drawn or when it is open. Settings tab options are temporary in that each time the GainSeeker Charts module is closed, the settings revert back to the default settings established in the GainSeeker System Administration module .

Navigating to this setting

Navigate to the Marker priority setting on the Configurations tab of the System Administration module following this path:

Configurations | "configuration name here" | Chart defaults | Shared (DMS and SPC) | Markers | Marker priority

Setting the priorities

To configure the priority that will be applied to two or more markers on the same data point:

1. Right-click the Marker priority setting.

The Marker Priority dialog box opens. The marker labels in the list are ordered from top to bottom in the priority each will be applied. The Outliers marker cannot be moved from the first position on this list as it always takes priority.

2. Click a label in the list to select it, and then click the directional arrow buttons to reposition that label in the list. Repeat this step as needed.
