The Project Properties window will be displayed when you create a new project or when you choose Project > Management > Edit Project Properties.
The options available in this window will vary depending on which application you are using and whether the database has login security enabled. For MPC, see MPC's Project Properties. For all other applications, this may include:
Security Tab (only if the database is secure and the project is public)
Configurable Settings Tab (only in Xfmea/RCM++/RBI)
In addition, the status bar at the bottom of the window always displays the following information:
The user who has been identified as the project owner. In a non-secure database, all users are able to edit the properties for any project. However, in a secure database, the ability to edit the project properties is restricted to the project owner and to users with the "Manage all projects" permission.
The time and date the project was last changed/updated, and the user who made the change. In Version 9, this now considers any change to any of the analysis data in the project (not just the project properties). This same information is also visible in the Manage Projects window, which provides an easy way to determine which projects have been updated recently.
The General tab is available for all Synthesis applications except MPC. It always contains the following options:
Name is the identifier for the project that will appear in the current project explorer and many other windows and reports throughout the software. This field is required and cannot contain any of the following characters: \ / : " * ? < > |.
Description and Remarks can contain more detailed notes or information about the project.
Proprietary Label can contain a copyright or distribution statement, if desired. In Xfmea/RCM++/RBI, this label appears in the footer of reports. In MPC, it is displayed in the footer of Standard reports but is not applicable for the Sukhoi or Dassault templates.
Project Category displays a list of the categories that have been defined in the current database. These categories are configurable to meet your particular needs and they can be used to filter the projects displayed in the project list and in many other windows throughout the software.
In Xfmea/RCM++/RBI, this tab also contains:
FMEA Structure determines how the software will display the effect and cause records in the FMEA hierarchy. This is applicable only in Xfmea/RCM++/RBI. (See Choosing the FMEA Structure in the Xfmea, RCM++ or RBI documentation.)
Select Profile from Library displays a list of all profiles that have been defined in the active library. This is applicable only in Xfmea/RCM++/RBI. When you choose a profile from the list, all of the configurable settings for the project will be set/reset based on the settings that have been predefined for that profile. If you are editing a project, the current profile is shown in brackets. For users who are authorized to edit the active library, two additional icons will be enabled to the right of this drop-down list, as shown next.
The Global Identifiers tab is available for all Synthesis applications except MPC. Identifiers are user-defined fields that can be used to search for certain types of records within the current project. The default names of the identifiers are defined at the database level via the Global Identifiers window; this tab allows you to specify different settings at the project levels.
The Security tab is available only when you are working with a public project in a secure database. For a full discussion on how to use these settings, see Planning Your Security Approach.
For quick access to the Security tab, you can select the project in the project list and choose Project > Security > Project Security.
The Configurable Settings tab is available for Xfmea/RCM++/RBI only. It provides access to all of the configurable settings that have been defined for the current project, based on the profile that was selected on the General tab.
This tab allows you to make specific changes that will apply to the current project only. For example, if you are using a predefined profile but want to make a change to the interface style for this particular project only, you could click the Edit icon associated with the Interface Style drop-down list in the Interface Settings area.
Note: For RCM++ and RBI only, in the Tasks area, if you have chosen a task selection logic that presents different questions depending on the failure effect categorization, then you must choose a failure effect categorization (FEC) logic with the same number of categories. If the logics do not match, a message will be displayed when you attempt to save the project properties.
It is important to note that any change to the Configurable Settings page will update the settings for the current project, but it will not alter the original profile. If you want the project’s current settings to be available as a new profile in the active library, click the Send Settings to Library button and then type the name and description for the new profile that will be created.
For users of MPC, the interface has been customized to display only the information that is directly relevant for MSG-3 analyses. This includes all of the same basic properties that are available on the General tab in other applications. In addition, you will be able to define the following:
Short Description appears in the header of the Standard report template. It is not displayed in the Dassault or Sukhoi templates.
MSG-3 Guidelines displays a list of the available MSG-3 guidelines that can be used for the systems and powerplant analysis. In most cases, the version that you select will not have any impact on the MSG-3 logic displayed in the interface and print-ready reports. The only substantive difference occurs when you select MSG-3 Revision 2002.1 because this older version of the guidelines uses slightly different titles for two of the maintenance significant item (MSI) questions, and lists the questions in a different order.
Model/Equipment/Effectivity allows you to enter the information that will appear on the title page of the Dassault and Sukhoi templates.
