Global Settings control various aspects of the functionality of GS.

Settings

Setting Name	Description
Inactivity Timeout (Minutes)	The number of minutes without activity before automatically logging out of GS. Set this to 0 to never automatically log users out of GS.
Cleanup Dev Data (Days)	Any data submitted while in Developer Mode will be removed after this number of days.
Company Logo	An image to display at the top of the site, to the right of the GS logo.
Grant Hertzler Systems remote access to my account	Whether to allow Hertzler service employees to log in to this GS account.

Setting Name	Description
4 of 5 Points Above Or Below 1 Sigma	The number of points which must fall at least 1 standard deviation away from the mean on the same side before it is considered a failure. This corresponds to Test 2 of the Western Electric tests for unnaturalness.
2 of 3 Points Above Or Below 2 Sigma	The number of points which must fall at least 2 standard deviations away from the mean on the same side before it is considered a failure. This corresponds to Test 3 of the Western Electric tests for unnaturalness.
7 Points Above Or Below Center	The number of points which must fall on the same side of the mean in a row before it is considered a failure. This corresponds to Test 4 of the Western Electric tests for unnaturalness.
15 Points Inside 1 Sigma	The number of points which must fall within 1 standard deviation of the mean before it is considered a failure. This is Rule 7 of the Nelson rules of process control.
14 Points Alternating Up and Down	The number of points which alternate in direction to be considered a failure. The mean and standard deviation have no bearing on this rule. This is Rule 4 of the Nelson rules of process control.
8 Points Outside of 1 Sigma	The number of points outside of 1 standard deviation to be considered a failure. This is Rule 8 of the Nelson rules of process control.
Use Fixed or Dynamic Limits	Whether to calculate the Control Limits dynamically, or to use the Fixed Control Limits set on the Characteristic.

For more information about how GS calculates statistics, see the statistics page.

Setting Name	Description
Standard Deviation Method	Whether to use the factors or sample standard deviation method.
Z-Values Method	Whether to use the Median or Probability method for calculating Z-Values.
Short Run Method	Whether to use Range or Target/Nominal for calculating Short Run.
Minimum Impact for Insights	How much variation or mean difference must be introduced by a single factor to be considered significant.
Significance Level for Insights	The p-value threshold for reporting Insights. Decreasing this value will cause fewer Insights to be shown, but they are more likely to be significant. Increasing this value will cause more Insights to be shown, but they are less likely to be significant.

Setting Name	Description
Start of Day Offset (Minutes)	How many minutes away from midnight GS should consider as the start of day. This can be a range from -720 (12 hours before midnight) to 719 (12 hours after midnight). This can be used if the work week does not start at midnight on the first day of the week.
First Day Of Week	Which day GS should consider as the first day of a week. This changes how GS calculates dates when retrieving data using a relative date.

For example:

To start the work week on Sunday at 11:00 PM, set the First Day of Week to "Monday" and the Start of Day Offset (Minutes) to "-60".
To start the work week on Sunday at 7:00 AM, set the First Day of Week to "Sunday" and the Start of Day Offset (Minutes) to "420".

Setting Name	Description
Show Completed Schedules (Minutes)	The number of minutes Accountability Records with the Complete status should continue to appear on the My Schedules page.
Inspection Schedule Grace Period (Minutes)	The number of minutes after an Accountability Record is marked as Late before it is automatically marked as Incomplete and becomes unavailable for Users to run.

Subscription Tier Required

This feature requires the Enterprise subscription tier.

Setting Name	Description
Permit use of GS AI	Whether this account has enabled the use of GS AI.
AI Context	Additional context to provide to GS AI when chatting. This context will be automatically sent with each conversation, and can let GS AI know more about your specific manufacturing environment.
