The free form folio allows you to analyze data for traditional and reliability DOE by manually entering the factor level combinations and observed response values from a prior experiment. After you designate columns for factors and responses, you can then analyze the data in much the same way that it is analyzed on the Data tab of a design folio. You can also use this folio to perform predictions and optimize responses.
Note: In general, the free form folio is useful for analyzing existing data, rather than planning an experiment. To plan an experiment, use the design folio.
To add a free form folio to your project, choose Home > Insert > Free Form, or right-click the DOE folder on the current project explorer and choose Add Free Form on the shortcut menu.
