Phrase Sets

To add or edit a phrase set from the Profiles/Library Manager, click the Add or Edit button on the Phrase Sets page or double-click one of the phrase sets on the Phrase Sets page. (You also can create new or edit existing phrase sets by exporting the FMEA data from the current project to a new or existing phrase set.)

A phrase set contains lists of predefined descriptions that can be used to define any of the text-based record properties in an FMEA. The descriptions in a phrase set are accessible via the Select Existing window when the phrase set has been selected to be "active" from the window’s Phrase Sets page.

Note: Unlike many of the other settings stored in the active library and managed via the Profiles/Library Manager, the descriptions in a phrase set are not stored in the project properties for individual analysis projects. Rather, you can use any phrase set from the active library on your computer for any analysis project that you may be working on, and it is possible to use phrases from multiple different phrase sets in the same project.

Each phrase set is identified by a name (required) and short description (optional). In addition, you can define any number of descriptions for any text-based record property that can be enabled for an FMEA. When you click a record type in the navigation panel on the left side of the window, a table of the applicable properties will be displayed in the area on the right.

When you click the Import from Excel or Export to Excel buttons, the software will import or export the descriptions from/to the record type that is currently displayed.

The Copy Existing button allows you to select another Xfmea library and copy selected descriptions to replace the ones in the current window.

Clear deletes all descriptions from the phrase set.

Spelling checks the spelling of the text fields within the window.

The status bar at the bottom of the window displays the date/time of the last change to the phrase set and the user who made the change.

When you have accessed the window from the Profiles/Library Manager, the status bar at the bottom of the window displays the date/time of the last change to the phrase set and the user who made the change.
