FMEA Hierarchy

The Hierarchy tab for an FMEA displays the analysis records in a hierarchical tree, which tends to be good for viewing a lot of information in a small amount of space. It can be especially useful when copying and pasting data or when scanning the analysis to find a particular section of the FMEA.

Double-click a row to open its properties window. If you click another row while the properties window is still open, it will automatically update to show the current selection.

To access other relevant commands (add, insert, copy, paste, etc.), right-click inside the hierarchy or use the FMEA tab on the ribbon. The options depend on which record (or heading) is currently selected. (See FMEA Tab for a complete list.)

To move a record up or down in the list, drag and drop the row to the desired location, or select the row and choose Home > Move Record > [Up or Down].

  

FMEA Hierarchy Columns

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.

The available columns include the following:
