For standard databases with login security enabled and for enterprise databases, authorized users can activate and manage the change logs. For standard databases without login security enabled, every user is an authorized user.
If a change log does not yet exist for an FMEA or DVP&R, an authorized user can choose [FMEA/DVP&R] > Change Log > Activate Change Log. When you activate a change log, the application displays a window reminding you that activating the change log for the FMEA means that changes to the analysis can be made only when a revision is in progress. Click Yes to activate the change log. The Change Log window will then appear with the date and time of the change log activation recorded in the top left portion and the name of the authorized user who activated the change log.
The software provides two options for you to manage the change log. They are displayed in the top portion of the window:
Select the Require reason for change check box to require all users to justify each change made in a revision.
Click Deactivate Change Log to deactivate the change log regardless of whether or not a revision has started. A warning message will alert you that selecting this option will clear the change log and that this action cannot be undone. Click Yes to delete both the change log and version history of the analysis.
IMPORTANT: To retain a record of any changes, you must export them to an Excel spreadsheet before de-activating the log.
