Link a Connect data table to a single measure

Use Data Collection Form to specify the Connect table data source for individual measures and descriptors.

To link a Connect data table to a sampling plan, you must have a data table that contains data from the measure or descriptor, date/time information, and subgroup information, if applicable. For more information on creating a data table in Minitab Connect, go to Create a Minitab Connect® data table for automatic data collection.

Open the station setup page for the product and process you want to configure.
Under the Processes by Product section, select Configure.
In Data Collection, select Data Collection Form.
Select Edit for the measure or descriptor to link.
Under Data Source, in Method, select Connect data table to pull data from an existing data table.
In Source, browse to the appropriate folder and table. You can select the table or a particular data view within the table.
Link the data field, the date/time, and the subgroup identifiers with a data column. Each field must use a unique table column.
1. In Data column, select a numeric column that contains your data.
2. In Time column, select a date/time column that contains the timestamp. The acceptable date and time format is yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss.
3. In Subgroup ID, select a numeric or a text column.
Select OK.
