Import Existing Items (Browse Method)

You can use the Import Existing Items (Browse) window to import selected items from the system hierarchy and/or selected records from an existing FMEA.

First, open the project that you want to import from and choose Project > Management > Import/Export > Import.

In the wizard, choose Items (Browse) and click OK.

To use the Import Existing Items (Browse) window, do the following:

• Use the Select Repository area to select the database you wish to import from.

• Use the Projects area to select one of the projects in the database.

Note: This utility will display only projects that have the same FMEA structure as the project that is currently open. The FMEA structure determines how the effect and cause records will be displayed in the FMEA hierarchy, and it is set via the Project Properties window in Xfmea/RCM++/RBI.

• Use the options at the bottom of the window to select what will be imported, and then select the specific records you want to import:

• • Import select items and all functions: You can select one or more items from the System Hierarchy area. The selected items will be imported along with all of their associated FMEA data.

  • Import item and selected functions: You can select only one item from the System Hierarchy area and then use the FMEA Hierarchy area to select which of that item's FMEA records you wish to import. Both the item and the selected FMEA records will be imported.

  • Import selected FMEA records only: This is the same as the previous option except that the item will not be imported. Instead, the selected FMEA records will be imported to the item that is currently selected in the project.

• Click Import to copy the data.
