Profiles

A profile is a collection of predefined settings that can be used to update all of the configurable settings for any project at the same time.

The Profiles page in the Profiles/Library Manager shows all of the predefined profiles in the active library.

You can also add or edit a profile from the General page of Project Properties window, as shown next.

 

Selecting the Default Profile

If you select the Set this as the default profile check box, the profile will be selected by default for each new project that you create when this library is active. Because only one profile can be the default at any given time, selecting this check box for one profile will have the effect of clearing it from the other profile that previously was the default.

Profile Settings

Each profile contains the following settings. For each type of setting, you can use the following icons to a) Select settings that have been predefined in the active library, b) Add new settings and/or c) Edit the predefined settings that are currently selected in the drop-down list.

For risk discovery analysis (e.g., preliminary risk analysis, change point analysis, equipment selection, etc.), you can choose to use either questions or ratings.

In RCM++ or RBI only, the Tasks tab contains the settings for the logic diagrams used in traditional reliability centered maintenance (RCM) analysis.

    • The FEC Logic will be used in the Failure Effect Categorization window for effect records.

    • The Task Selection Logic will be used in the Maintenance Task Manager window for cause records.

Note: For any given profile, if you have chosen a task selection logic that presents different questions depending on the failure effect categorization then you must choose a failure effect categorization logic with the same number of categories. If the logics do not match, a message will be displayed when you attempt to save the profile.
