Prerequisites

• Access to the Management > Collection planning (SP003) menu or to the Management > Collection tracking (SP004) menu.
• Collection planned with an item that has a variable characteristic.

Introduction

This configuration is exclusive for characteristics of the variable type and allows for creating value ranges to categorize readings, establishing an upper and a lower limit within which the measurements must remain.

The ranges will be used to generate the stoplight charts and the evaluation ranges, and can be renamed freely with expressions such as "Below expected", "Average", and "Above expected".

See a demonstration:

Configuring evaluation ranges for data analysis

1. Access the Management > Collection planning (SP003) menu or the Management > Collection tracking (SP004) menu.

2. Select the desired collection and click on the button.

3. In the Characteristic tab, select a characteristic and click on the button.

4. Access the Evaluation range tab and click on the button.

5. On the screen that will open, fill in the Name, Lower range limit, and Upper range limit fields.

6. Select a color to identify the range.

7. Click on the button to save the configuration on the characteristic data screen.

8. Click on the button to finish.

Conclusion

The evaluation ranges are applicable only to variable characteristics, as these characteristics have a continuous measurement, which allows for comparing exact numerical values with upper/lower limits.

To continue configuring the characteristics, refer to the Configuring a characteristic for collection article.
