Dashboard Layout Manager

Dashboard Layout Designer

FMEA Dashboards

You can now use the flexible Synthesis Dashboard utility for presenting data from the FMEA and FMRA analyses that you perform in XFMEA/RCM++/RBI.

To access this feature, open a project and choose Home > Reporting > Dashboard.

As with any other Synthesis dashboard, you can use the Dashboard Viewer to select any of the layouts that have been predefined for this type of data. In a secure database, only users with the "Manage dashboard layouts" permission can use the Dashboard Manager to create or edit layouts.

Tip: These dashboards always consider all of the FMEA/FMRA data in the current project, so it doesn’t matter which item is currently selected in the system hierarchy. If you wish to focus only on specific item(s) of interest, use the built-in filtering and drill-down capabilities when you configure the dashboard layout. (See Configuring a Drill Down and Configuring a Master Filter.)

Data Source Drop-Down List

When you are creating a dashboard layout based on FMEA/FMRA data, the drop-down list at the top of the Data Source panel gives two options.

As a simplified example, the following picture shows two dashboard grids for the same set of data. The first one uses the data fields for all FMEA record types, while the second uses the fields for FMEA causes only.

FMEA/FMRA Dashboard Data Fields

Data Field

Description

FMEA Causes

All FMEA Record Types

Properties (these field names are preceded by the Property- prefix

Record Type

This can be Item, Function, Failure, Effect or Cause.

X

Name
Description

For system hierarchy items, the name is required but the description can be blank.

For FMEA records, the description is required. If the name field contains an asterisk (*) or is blank when you save the record, the software automatically uses the first 50 characters of the full description.
