Sampling plan preferences

Users with engineer privileges can specify default preferences for all sampling plans.

Collection method

Specify the default data collection method for all sampling plans.
  • Use Automatic when all the data for a sampling plan are in a single Minitab Connect data table.
  • Use Data Collection Form to specify the data source for each measure and descriptor with a combination of data entry methods.

For more information on the collection methods and detail on how to change the default collection method by sampling plan, go to Overview of data collection methods for sampling plans.

Specification range indicator

Data collection forms can display the range of acceptable measurements if specification limits are specified. This setting applies to all data collection forms in your subscription.

Measurements that are out-of-specification show a warning, so you can assign a special cause or add comments.
