DFR Tab

This Ribbon is available only when working with a DFR Planner.

Gate

  Add Gate adds a top-level to the analysis.

  Add Next Level Gate adds a new gate to the next level below the gate that is currently selected in the Analysis panel. The new gate will be added to the bottom of the list for that level.

  Add Same Level Gate adds a new gate to the same level as the item that is currently selected in the Analysis panel. The new gate will be added to the bottom of the list for that level.

  Insert Gate adds a new gate to the same level as the item that is currently selected in the Analysis panel. The new gate will be inserted above the gate that is currently selected.

  Edit Gate opens the DFR Gate Properties window, which allows you to view and edit all of the properties of the gate record.

Action

  Add Action adds an action to the gate.

  Add Existing Action opens the Select Resource window where you can select an existing action to add to the DFR plan.

  Edit Action opens the Action window, which allows you to view and edit all of the properties of the action record.

  Make Action Unique creates a new record that is not associated with (linked to) the existing Synthesis resource. The information in the Description column for the new record will be incremented automatically so it remains unique. For example, if the original description is “Do this and that,” then the description of the new record might be "Do this and that_1." After you break the association, changes that are made to one resource will not be applied automatically to the other.

  Synchronize Action opens the Synchronize Action to DFR Timeline window, which allows you to automatically change the date of an action to match that of the gate it was added to (or vice versa).

Tools

  Attachments adds linked or attached files to the selected record.

  Send to Library sends the current DFR plan to the Profiles/Library Manager where it can be used in other DFR plans.

  History Log opens the Record History Log window for the current analysis. This window displays changes that have been performed for the analysis. This command is available only if the history log has been activated at the project level.

  Shift Dates opens the Shift Dates window where you can shift the start and/or due dates of a selected gate and all its lower-level gates/actions in the DFR Planner by a specified duration of days or months.

  Remove Gaps in Dates automatically removes gaps between the start and end dates in the DFR plan. This command also automatically updates the precedent gates to reflect the order of gates in the hierarchy (i.e., if gate A is immediately above gate B and on the same level, gate A will become gate B's precedent).

  Set Planned Dates allows you to either (a) clear all the gates' planned start and end dates or (b) set all the planned dates to match the actual start/end dates.
