FMEA Records

When adding a new record (i.e., function, failure, effect, cause, control or action), Xfmea will assign a unique record identifier and a record position number using the following rules:

Note: These values are not displayed in the FMEA record properties window, but can be displayed in the Analysis panel and they are also used in the Query Utility and in Reports. To hide or display columns, right-click the column headers in the FMEA hierarchy view, then click Customize Columns to select which columns you want to display. These settings are stored per computer/username in the FMEA Hierarchy page of the Application Setup, so any project that you open on this computer will have the same columns displayed.

FMEA Record Properties Windows

The FMEA record properties windows can be used to add, insert and edit FMEA records and to view all of the record properties. These windows all have a similar format and contain several common elements, which are presented in this section.

Each window includes the following areas:

In addition, every window has a History area that displays information about the creation and last modification of the record.

In the Hierarchy and Filtered views, you can click anywhere in the FMEA analysis to view/edit the properties for different records without having to open and close the properties window for each record.

When you open a properties window from the Hierarchy view, a Ribbon is displayed at the top of the window, which contains two tabs:

  Properties Customization opens the FMEA Properties (This Project) window where you can adjust the record properties. The available options are the same as those in the interface style as defined in the Project Properties window.

  Spelling checks the spelling in all text fields within the window.

  Attachments opens the Attachments window, which allows you to manage the linked and attached files for the record.

  Change Log opens the Record Change Log window, which displays the changes that have been made to the current record. This option is available only if a change log has been activated for the FMEA and only if changes have been made to this record since the change log was activated.
