1. The Target type of at least one of the fields is set to "Variable Characteristic"  . This should typically be the numerical field that is being plotted by the IQC chart

2. The Target Type of at least one of the fields is set to Time Stamp with Auto Update: First Update column or  the Target Type of at least one of the fields is set to Sample ID with Auto Update set to First Update column.

NOTE: Two fields cannot have Auto Update set to : First Update column. This indicates what identifies a unique case or sample.
