FMEA Hierarchy View

System Hierarchy

The items that you add to an Xfmea project are arranged in a tree-based system configuration called the system hierarchy. To access the configuration, click the System Hierarchy tab on the System panel, which can be displayed on the left side or the top side of the Project window. To change the location of the panel, choose View > Workspace Layout > Change Screen Orientation.

 

Each item represents a system or subsystem, and subsystems can consist of lower-level subsystems. For example, in the hierarchy shown next, System 1 consists of two subsystems: SubSystem 1 and SubSystem 2. SubSystem 2 consists of two lower-level subsystems ("sub-subsystems").

Each item has properties associated with it, which are viewed and edited on the Properties tab of the Analysis panel when the item is selected. You can associate different analyses and diagrams with items, and you can also attach files and URLs to items.

Available Columns

With the system configuration, you can view general information about the items defined in your project and see which analyses have been performed on them. Each column displays different information about each item. To hide or display columns, right-click the column headers in the system hierarchy, then click Customize Columns to select which columns you want to display. These settings are stored per computer/username on the System Hierarchy page of the Application Setup, so any project that you open on this computer will have the same columns displayed.

The following columns can be displayed:

Tip: If these numbers fall out of sequence, choose System Hierarchy > Renumber All Items to update them.
