With integration into the Synthesis Platform, the ReliaSoft desktop applications have transitioned from a standalone document/file format to a multi-user, database-driven approach. This offers enormous potential to integrate reliability program activities and tools, while simultaneously facilitating effective information sharing and cooperation between engineering teams of any size.
The experience of working in a database-driven, multi-user environment will be a bit different than using prior versions of ReliaSoft applications (Version 7 or older) and other document-centered applications such as Microsoft Excel. For example, your organization (or team) will need to choose the most appropriate database type and security, implement shared settings that will effectively facilitate project management, and establish adequate backups and database maintenance to protect against data loss. In addition, individual users must be aware that changes are saved automatically as they work, and become familiar with the features that facilitate simultaneous access by multiple users.
This chapter discusses some of the basic requirements for using Synthesis repositories and projects. For information about other features, see ReliaSoft Common Tools.
