The Backstage view (File tab) is the first view you will see when you start a ReliaSoft desktop application.
Save (available only when a Synthesis file is currently open) saves all recent changes to the Synthesis file (*.rsf18). This command is not applicable in a standard or enterprise database, because the changes are saved automatically as you work.
Save As (available only when a standard database or Synthesis file is currently open) saves a copy of the standard database or Synthesis file to another pathname/filename and/or file type. You can save the file as a new standard database (*.rsr18), Synthesis file (*.rsf18) or compressed standard database (*.rsgz18).
Pack and E-mail (available only when a standard database or Synthesis file is currently open) sends a compressed version of the standard database or Synthesis file via e-mail.
Open Repository opens an existing standard database (*.rsr18), enterprise database (*.rserp), Synthesis file (*.rsf18) or a compressed standard database (*.rsgz18).
Close Repository closes the database. You also can close the database by opening another database or by exiting the application.
Recent shows a list of recently opened database files (*.rsr18, *.rserp and *.rsf18) and a list of recently accessed locations. Clicking a database will open it, and clicking a location will allow you to browse for databases in that location. The number of items in these lists is set in the Synthesis Settings page of the Application Setup. You can pin items to a list by clicking the pushpin icon associated with the item; when the pin is vertical, the item will not roll off the list.
New allows you to create a new standard database (*.rsr18), Synthesis file (*.rsf18) or connection file for access to an enterprise database (*.rserp).
Manage Repository provides a variety of tools and configurable settings for the repository. The settings are shared by all users and all analysis projects in a database.
Print (available only in Weibull++, ALTA, RGA, BlockSim and RENO) generates a print preview of the current data sheet, diagram or plot, and sends it to the printer.
Help provides a variety of resources to help you use the application more effectively. In addition, it displays information about the application, including the Compile Release Version (CRV) and License information.
Application Setup allows you to set your personal preferences for working with analyses, such as the math precision, default plot settings and the like. The settings apply only to the current computer/username, and they do not affect the results of the analyses.
Exit closes the current database (if any) and shuts down the application.
The Manage Repository section of the Backstage View contains the following commands. The available commands depend on the current application and the database type.
Users and Security controls which users can access the repository and their permissions.
User Groups create and manage groups of users that can be assigned to actions, messages, etc. throughout the current database.
Repository Logins displays a list of users who have connected to the repository and allows you to export this information to Excel.
Reset "In Use" Flags allows you to reset the flags that indicate the "in use" status of projects or items within a project.
Available only in Lambda Predict:
FIDES Settings Manager defines the settings related to the FIDES prediction standard such as process audits, pi factors, categories, etc. (See FIDES Settings Manager in the Lambda Predict documentation.)
Custom Derating Standards Manager allows you to add, edit, delete or import/export custom derating standards. (See Creating Custom Derating Standards in the Lambda Predict documentation.)
MIL-217 Custom Connections defines custom connection types for use with the MIL-HDBK-217F prediction standard. (See MIL-217 Custom Connection Types in the Lambda Predict documentation.)
Available only in XFMEA, RCM++ and RBI:
Profiles/Library Manager configures the predefined settings of the profiles stored in the software library. Profiles allow you to customize the look, drop-down lists, rating scales and other settings of a particular project in order to fit the needs of the analysis. (See Profiles/Library Manager in the XFMEA/RCM++/RBI documentation.)
Templates Manager allows you to manage the configurable templates that can be used for customized reports, saved queries or importing/exporting data via Excel. (See Templates Manager in the XFMEA/RCM++/RBI documentation.)
Repository Settings allows you to enable alerts via e-mail or SMS, activate history logs, and other settings.
Unit Settings defines the unit and measurement settings that will be available for use in any project within the database.
Project/Item Categories defines the categories that can be used to filter and group data throughout the database.
Default Name Formats (not applicable for MPC) specifies the default names for new resources, as well as new blocks in BlockSim RBDs, fault trees and phase diagrams.
Project Planning Resources (not applicable for MPC) defines the cost categories, teams, materials and facilities that are used for tracking costs, man hours and resource utilization in actions and Project Planner gates.
Working Days/Holidays (not applicable for MPC) specifies the business days when project planning resources can be utilized.
Dashboard Layout Manager (not applicable for MPC) shows all of the predefined dashboard layouts that will be available for any user to view for a particular data set.
Task Types (applicable only in RCM++, RBI and MPC) maps the task types used in RCM++ and RBI (e.g., Restoration, Failure Finding, etc.) to the corresponding task classes in the universal reliability definition (e.g., Preventive, Inspection, etc.) so that simulation and cost calculation results are accurate. (See Task Types in RCM++/RBI in the XFMEA/RCM++/RBI documentation.) In MPC, it allows you to modify the abbreviations used for the MSG-3 task types. (See Task Type Abbreviations in MPC in the MPC documentation.)
XFRACAS Connection is available only for standard databases (*.rsr18) or Synthesis files (*.rsf18) in Weibull++/ALTA, RGA, and XFMEA/RCM++/RBI. It allows you to define connection settings for an enterprise repository.
New Enterprise Repository opens a wizard that leads you through the steps to create a new enterprise repository (SQL Server or Oracle database). To use this option, you must have access to a server with a supported version of SQL Server or Oracle and you must have the appropriate permissions to create a new database on the server.
Upgrade Enterprise Repository converts an existing Version 9 or later enterprise database to a Version 2018 enterprise database. This cannot be undone. It is recommended that you create a backup of the database before performing the upgrade.
Upgrade Version 8 Repository copies all of the existing data from a Version 8 enterprise database to a new Version 2018 enterprise database.
Restore Points manages all of the project backups that are stored in the current database.
Compact and Repair is available only in a standard database (*.rsr18) or Synthesis file (*.rsf18). It helps to reduce the size of the database and protect against data loss and corruption. (See Backups and Database Maintenance.)
Import from Version 5 is available only in XFMEA, RCM++ and RBI. It allows you to import data from a Version 5 XFMEA/RCM++ database. This command is available only when you are connected to an enterprise database and have the "Manage users and logins" permission and the applicable "manage all projects" permissions.
