Real-Time SPC manages your quality data daily by purging old data
from the app and exporting to Minitab Connect.

Purge data from Real-Time SPC
By default, Real-Time SPC purges data after 90 days; however, users with appropriate
permissions can configure the purging frequency and the time of day to perform the
data purge.
- How to update purge frequency
-
- Open the Data Management
page in the Administration portal.
- In Purge data after, enter an integer
value between 1 and 365 to specify the frequency of data
purging, in days.
Note
Large amounts of data in the app can increase the time it takes to generate reports over time. In these cases, purge your data more frequently.
- Open the Data Management
Note
Increasing the number of days affects only future data archiving. Previously archived data are not moved back into the application.
Export data to Minitab Connect
By default, Real-Time SPC exports quality data into a Minitab Connect data table,
named Quality Data, located in the SPC folder when data are purged from the
app. The Quality Data table contains all migrated and archived data. Historic
data within this table can be further analyzed using Minitab Connect's dashboarding
tool or exported for further analysis in Minitab Statistical Software.
- How to update export settings
-
- Open the Data Management
page in the Administration portal.
- In Export data to Minitab Connect, select if you want to export data daily or upon purge. You can also select to not export data to Minitab Connect.
- Open the Data Management
