System Tab

The System tab contains commands related to working with system configurations and is available only to administrators. This tab will be visible to you if you have the "Manage Serialized Systems" permission or the "Manage Template Systems" permission.

Please refer to the user help for information on the commands on the Home and Options tabs.

System

  Template opens the Template page, which allows you to view and manage system templates.

  Serialized opens the Serialized page, which allows you to view and manage serialized system configurations.

Template

  Create Template opens the Create Template Part utility, allowing you to create a new system template.

  Find Template opens the Find Template utility, which allows you to search for an existing system template by template part name or template part number.

  Xfmea Import opens the Xfmea Import utility, which allows you to import system hierarchy data from Xfmea/RCM++ into XFRACAS. This command appears only if the current database has associated Synthesis tables that you have permission to access and has at least one project with a system hierarchy.

Serialized

  Create System opens the Create Serialized Part utility, allowing you to create a serialized system based on an existing system template.

  Find System opens the Find System utility, which allows you to search for an existing serialized system by the system serial number, subsystem serial number, subcomponent part name or subcomponent part number.

Part

The commands in the Part group will vary depending on whether you are working with templates or serialized systems.

When you are working with a template, the following commands will appear.

  Create opens the Create Template Part utility, allowing you to create a new system part under the part currently selected in the system configuration.

  Edit allows you to edit the information for the part currently selected in the system configuration.

  Delete removes the currently selected part from the system configuration, or retires it if it is used in records within the system.

  Associate opens the Associate Template Parts utility, which allows you to select one or more existing template parts to associate below the part currently selected in the system configuration.

  Disassociate removes the currently selected part from the system configuration and makes it a top level part.

  Assign Owner opens the Assign Template Part Owner utility, which allows you to specify the owners who is responsible for the selected part.

  Remove Owner removes the owner from the selected part and clears the e-mail notification list for the part. This command is available only for parts with owners.

  CC List opens the Assign E-mail Notification List utility, which allows you to specify addition users to be included in the e-mail notification list for the selected part. This command is available only for parts with owners.

  Sync with Xfmea synchronizes the data in XFRACAS to reflect changes made within Xfmea after the part has been imported. This command is available only when you are working with a part that was imported from Xfmea.

  Export exports the currently selected part and any children to a new *.xml file. Depending upon your permissions, this command may have a drop-down list of options. In this case, choose Part to export the currently selected part and any children to a new *.xml file, or choose Master BOM to export the entire system configuration that the currently selected part belongs to, including all details associated with all parts.
