The Database Settings window contains settings that are shared by all users and analysis projects in the database. To access this window, choose File > Manage Database > Database Settings. (In a secure database, this is available only for users with the "Manage other database settings" permission.)
In a standard database, you can save the current settings as the default for each new standard database that you create from this computer by clicking the Set as Default button at the bottom of the window.
Enable Alerts via E-mail or SMS configures the database to enable alerts via e-mail or SMS text message. (See Enable Alerts via E-mail or SMS.)
Action Alerts apply to action resources. The database can be configured to auto-subscribe a "watch" for users based on their role(s) for a particular action. You can also specify the default text that will be used at the beginning of each action alert. (See Action Alert Preferences.)
New in Version 2020, this page allows you to automatically set the person who created an action to be the person responsible for it (see Person Responsible and Resources) and to hide the action start and completion dates in the FMEA worksheet view.
New in Version 2020, this page allows you to restrict the version labels used for FMEA change log revisions in XFMEA/RCM++/RBI (see Change Logs in the XFMEA/RCM++/RBI documentation) so that users must select labels from a predefined list. If you select this option, you can define the list of labels on this page.
FMEA Structure (XFMEA/RCM++/RBI) allows you to select the default FMEA structure for new projects created in the database, which determines how the software will display the effect and cause records in the FMEAs. If you don't specify a default, users will be prompted to select the structure for each new project they create in XFMEA/RCM++/RBI. (See Choosing the FMEA Structure in the XFMEA/RCM++/RBI documentation.)
History Logs allows you to turn the log on (or off) for all active projects, and stores a preference for whether the log should be activated by default for each new project. (See History Logs.)
Project Planner allows you to enable the Project Planner for use in all projects in the database. Starting in Version 2020, the Project Planner is disabled by default.
Enable publish to SEP web portal is available only in enterprise databases. If your organization has established an SEP web portal for the current database, select this check box to enable users to publish analysis summaries, ReliaSoft Workbooks and other information to the portal.
Delete All Portal Messages deletes all portal messages for all users in the database. There is no undo for deleting portal messages.
