Change Logs

Xfmea allows authorized users to activate a change log for a particular FMEA or DVP&R. The change log utility controls when users will be able to edit the analysis and records a history of the revisions made to the analysis since the change log was activated, along with a list of the specific changes that were made in each revision. Depending on the settings, the change log can record:

If desired, the change log utility can also be used to facilitate an electronic approval tracking process by storing an electronic record of the users who have reviewed and approved each version of the analysis.

General Information About Change Logs

This section describes some of the characteristics of change logs that all users should be aware of. Note that while the examples given are for FMEAs, the commands are similar for DVP&Rs:

 No Revision Started: This icon shows that the FMEA associated with the item is locked and that no revision has started. In this case the FMEA is read-only for all users.

 Revision Started: This icon shows that the FMEA associated with the item is open for modifications because an authorized user has started a revision.

Note: Regardless of whether an analysis under change log control is locked or open for modifications, all users can view the changes made since the log was activated and export the change log to an Excel spreadsheet, if desired.
