Pareto Chart Display Options dialog box

By default, Pareto charts are sorted by VARIABLE, but you also can sort them by a selected trace field.

Sort by Trace Field - This list contains these items:

- VARIABLE - This is the default method of sorting Pareto Charts. For each variable, a bar will display that represents the variable’s percentage of out of tolerance measurements in relation to the total percent of out of tolerance measurements for all of the selected variables. Across the bottom of the chart, each bar is labeled with the variable name and the number of out of tolerance measurements/total number of measurements for that variable. See "Pareto Variable Chart" for an example of this.

- (Trace Fields) - In addition to the default VARIABLE sorting method, the drop down list will contain all trace fields that apply to the selected data. Select the trace field you want to use for sorting the chart. For each trace value, a bar will display that represents the percentage of out of tolerance measurements associated with that trace value in relation to the total percent of out of tolerance measurements for all of the trace values. Across the bottom of the chart, each bar is labeled with the trace value and the number of out of tolerance measurements/total number of measurements for that trace value.

Save - Saves the currently defined items on the dialog box for subsequent sessions. When you log back into Datapage+ at a later time, the software will used this saved configuration.

Default - Loads the default configuration.

Close - Closes this dialog box.

Apply - Applies the current configuration until the end of your current session. When you log back into Datapage+, the software will use the saved configuration (or the default configuration if no saved configuration exists).
