Add and configure a Material Quality threshold range

A threshold range defines the boundaries of multiple limits for acceptable ranges for data. When the field value falls outside the valid range, the value is considered to be out-of-threshold range. You can set up out-of-range levels, such as warning and danger levels.

Note: The data type of the Material Quality reporting point field should be Numeric, when you use the SpecificationLimitsSource or ThresholdSource property.

How it looks in the data grid

The threshold colors display in the Production Analyst results grid to inform operators of out-of-range data.

Example

In this example, the specification is temperature and ideal temperature is between 7°C and 9°C.

To add a threshold range

You can add one or more threshold range items to a material field specification.

1. Right-click the relevant material field specification and select Add ThresholdRange. A new Threshold Range item appears.

   

2. Rename the item with a meaningful name.

3. Repeat for each bracket of ranges.

   

4. Configure the properties. For guidance in configuring the properties, see Material Quality threshold range properties.
