Creating Parameter Sets

Using this procedure, you will create the parameter set.

When you select a parameter set, it will only affect the following tiles on the dashboard:

  • Raw Dashboard: Box & Whisker, Pareto, Data Summary, Stream Summary, Compliance.
  • Aggregated Dashboard: Stream Analysis Table, 2D Chart, Grading Matrix, Site Summary, Bubble Chart, Stream Overview Report, Compliance Summary, Lot Report.
  1. Select Access Menu and then select Analysis | Parameter Sets.

  2. In the Parameter Sets landing page, select Create Parameter Set.

  3. Modify the contents under the following tabs:

    • Under the General Information tab, you can configure the parameter set.

      1. In the Short Name data field, type the parameter set name.
      2. In the Long Name data field, type the extended name of the parameter set.

      3. Using tags, you can provide additional characteristics to further identify the parameter set. To add tags to the parameter set, do the following:

          • Select Tag.

            1. In the Tag Group drop-down list, select the desired tag group. HintClosedTo locate the desired tag group, begin typing a string within the tag group. For example, to locate Group Name, you can type gro or you can type nam.

            2. In the Tag drop-down list, select the desired tag. HintClosedTo locate the desired tag, begin typing a string within the tag. For example, to locate Tag Name, you can type tag or you can type nam.

          • Select Save.

    • Under the Define Criteria tab, you can configure the data selection criteria.

      1. In the Limit parameter set to return Latest records data field, type the maximum number of latest records that Enact should return. For example, to restrict the parameter set to the latest 1500 records, type 1500.

        • Within the parameter set’s Time Window, Enact displays the most recent records (by creation time) up to the parameter set’s record limit, as follows:

          • Raw Dashboard. There are the following three data types on a raw dashboard:

            • Subgroup / Checklist Data. Each value or checklist question’s response will be one record. For example, when you collect data for 3 features with a subgroup size of 3, each of those 9 values will be one record, for a total of 9 records. For within-piece data, each within-piece value will be one record. Within the parameter set’s Time Window, Enact displays the most recent records (up to the record limit) on all tiles displaying subgroup or checklist data, which may result in only part of the data displaying, if the cutoff occurs within the data set.

            • Process Event Data. Each event will be one record. Within the parameter set’s Time Window, Enact displays the most recent records (up to the record limit) on all tiles displaying event data, which is separate from the subgroup and checklist data above. For example, if you set the record limit to 5000, Enact can display up to 5000 subgroups and 5000 events on the dashboard.

            • Compliance Data. Enact does not apply the record limit to compliance data.

          • Aggregated Dashboard. Aggregated dashboards can display far more data for a given parameter set than raw dashboards. For daily aggregation, the entire day’s data for one part, one process and one feature will be one record. For shift-based aggregation, the entire shift’s data for one part, one process and one feature will be one record.

          When the record limit results in an incomplete data set, Enact displays a record limit warning. To resolve the record limit warning, you must modify the parameter set to reduce the total number of records. You must avoid exceeding the record limit, as the generated tables, graphs and calculations, which are based on all of the requested data, could be inaccurate.

        • After the parameter set selects the data, restricting the data based on the Time Window and the record limit, the dashboard filters narrows the data even further. For example, if you set the record limit to 5000 and then apply a Part dashboard filter, Enact filters only those 5000 values by part. Enact does not select a new data set based on the dashboard filter.

      2. In the Time Window section, set and configure the desired time type, as follows:

        • Display data within a fixed time period, manually setting the Start Date & Time and End Date & Time.

          1. In the type drop-down list, select the desired timing type:

            • Current. Data up to end of current time period. For example, if the date is 14/12/2000 and you select Current 1 Month(s), Enact displays data from 1/12/2000 12:00:00 AM - 31/12/2000 11:59:59 PM, as the current month is December. If you refresh or reopen the dashboard, Enact displays data based on the date and time of the refreshing or reopening.
            • Earlier. Data up to end of previous time period. For example, if the date is 14/12/2000 and you select Earlier 1 Month(s), Enact displays data from 1/11/2000 12:00:00 AM - 30/11/2000 11:59:59 PM, as the previous month is November. If you refresh or reopen the dashboard, Enact displays data based on the date and time of the refreshing or reopening.
            • Latest. Data up to the second. For example, if the date and time is 14/12/2000 11:10:05 AM and you select Latest 1 Month(s), Enact displays data from 14/11/2000 11:10:06 AM - 14/12/2000 11:10:05 PM. If you refresh or reopen the dashboard, Enact displays data based on the date and time of the refreshing or reopening.
          2. In the interval data field, type the timing interval (for example, type 30).
          3. In the time unit drop-down list, select the desired time unit.

          Enact considers Monday to be the start of the week.

        • Display data within a fixed time period, manually setting the Start Date & Time and End Date & Time.

          To manually set the date and time, do the following:

          1. Select Calendar and select the desired date.
          2. Select Time and select the desired time.

          To automatically fill the Start Date & Time or the End Date & Time data field with the current time and date, select Now.

        • Select data within a dynamic, time-based selection that overrides any selected Shift descriptor, as detailed in the Shift section below.

          In the type drop-down list, select the desired timing type:

          • Previous Shift. Data for the previous shift of each process within the parameter set. This applies to raw and aggregated dashboards. If shifts overlap, Enact includes the shift that ended most recently for the selected process. If more than one shift ended simultaneously, Enact includes all the shifts.

            After a process changes shifts (for example, first shift ends and second shift begins), Enact aggregates data for that process during its shift. This does not replace the existing daily aggregation, as Enact will display the most recently available data from either daily aggregation or shift change aggregation. You will not have to wait until the daily aggregation to view Previous Shift data.

          • Current Shift. Data for the current shift of each process within the parameter set. This only applies to raw dashboards, since there is no aggregated data for the current shift. If shifts overlap, Enact includes all shifts for the selected process.

      3. To select a time frame based on the start of shift, select the Include all starting shifts checkbox.

        Instead of selecting all data between the start and end date, Enact selects all shifts which started between the start and end date, and shows the data from the entirety of those shifts, which will include shifts that continued past the end date, and may include shifts that are still ongoing.

        When you enable the Include all starting shifts checkbox, the following applies:

        • Enact excludes data without associated shifts.

        • Enact restricts the Dynamic Time and Static Time to date only, disabling hours and minutes, as the selections will use daily shifts instead of specific time spans.

        • Aggregated dashboards ignore the Include all starting shifts setting.

      4. To control the parameter set based on one or more descriptors, do the following:

        1. To include designated descriptor, select is.
        2. To exclude designated descriptor, select is not.

        3. To select descriptors, select Change for the desired descriptor, and then configure the selection:
