In an FMEA or RCM, the functions typically state what the item or process is intended to do, usually to a given standard of performance or requirement.
To access the commands to add or edit function records, right-click inside the FMEA hierarchy or worksheet, or use the Functions commands on the FMEA tab of the ribbon. (See FMEA Tab for a complete list.)
The properties enabled (and their display names) will depend on the interface style for the current project. To view or change these settings, choose Project > Management > Configurable Settings > Interface Style.
Note: Starting in Version 2019, comments fields are available for Function, Failure, Effect and Cause records. You can use the project's interface style to enable these fields for any of these record types.
Note the following:
The Description is required.
The Name will be used in locations where the full description would be too long to display (e.g., diagrams).
If the field contains an asterisk (*) or is blank when you save the record, the software automatically uses the first 50 characters of the full description.
The #, ID, Source Record, Associated Records, History and ribbon commands are similar for any FMEA record type. (See FMEA Records.)
Tip: You can specify for a default function to be created for all new items added to the System panel by choosing File > Application Setup and selecting the Create a default function for new items option on the Settings page of the Application Setup.
