This enables highly effective connectivity, making it easier for users to connect to the dataset they are interested in.
Another new function allows users to create multiple exception report definitions for each dataset.
The reports will list specification, control limit, and/or rule violations for selected variables, and will display the associated SPC chart at the click of a button, making it easier to see the results the user is most interested in.
To enable database connection where the database field names are long, NWA Quality Analyst now allows variable names with up to 32 characters.
Also, the new version offers a more international approach by giving users the choice of full stop or comma as decimal separator.
