Exception Reporting

NWA Quality Analyst Web Server now provides exception reports as web pages that are visually and functionally similar to those produced by NWA Quality Analyst^®. Users will be presented with a list of exceptions that include violations of product specifications, SPC limits, and SPC pattern rules. As with Quality Analyst exception reports, the relevant SPC chart for each set of exceptions is available by clicking a button.

Options for presenting and distributing exception reports:

1. Custom Exception Report Formats
   Exception Reports are initially created in XML, allowing the use of industry-standard XSLT for designing custom exception reports.
2. Notification and Distribution via RSS
   Users can be notified of specific exceptions when they occur via RSS, a standard for subscribing to new content from a web site. RSS clients are available from a variety of sources.

Exception reports list product specifications and SPC violations by Data Set and Variable. The relevant SPC chart for each set of exceptions is created with the click of a button.

Performance Improvements

SPC charts and exception reports are now cached for user-definable time periods, improving performance and eliminating duplicated database access and calculation processes. In addition, a single reference can now create all charts for a page, reducing the processing time required to complete the page.

Scheduled Creation of Charts and Exception Reports

For users who update the SPC reporting on their websites on a periodic basis, Quality Analyst Web Server can now be used to create SPC charts and exception reports at pre-determined times or frequencies.

New "Rotate" Command for Chart Images

SPC charts can now be rotated to offer more flexibility in page design, and to make it easier to design web pages for devices such as PDAs.
