Choosing other DMS Retrieval Settings

When you first create a new DMS report or a new DMS retrieval in a Mixed report, GainSeeker will automatically apply the following settings:

• default date period for DMS charts and reports

• no filter

• default retrieval and configuration settings for DMS charts, DMS statistics, DMS Data entry and the Show time to setting

• settings in each standard or process you selected for the report or retrieval (cost per unit, gate limits, etc.)

To apply different retrieval or statistical settings for this report or retrieval, click the Settings tab:

When you change one of these settings to an option that is different from the default, that setting is displayed in blue.

Choosing a different date period or multiple date periods

To apply a different date period to the data retrieved, or to choose multiple date periods for analysis, right-click the Date period node of the tree. For more information, see Setting the Date Period(s).

If you choose multiple date periods, you may want to review the Summary tab.

Choosing a filter or multiple filters

To apply one or more filters to the data being retrieved, right-click the Filter name node of the tree. For more information, see Setting the Filter(s).

If you choose multiple filters, you may want to review the Summary tab.

Overriding the configuration defaults

If you want to use retrieval and statistical settings that are different from the default configuration settings, expand the Retrieval/Configuration tree and change the desired settings.

For more information on using these settings, see DMS charts, DMS statistics, DMS Data entry and the Show time to setting.

Overriding the standard settings

If you want to analyze this data as if its standards were configured differently – without actually changing those standards – then you can expand the Standard overrides tree and change the desired settings.

Some of the standard settings will impact the statistics that you report in different ways. These standard settings can be grouped as follows:

• Settings that will only change the statistic that reports that standard setting:

• Settings that will also affect the calculation of some other statistics (in addition to changing the statistics that report these standard settings):

For more information on individual settings in standards or processes, see DMS Processes and DMS Standards.
