Customizing Record Properties
For many types of records, you have the option to choose which properties will be enabled and what they will be called. All of the properties that can be configured will be displayed in a table like the one shown next:
Property is the basic name for the field. This cannot be changed.
Type indicates whether the field contains text, a date, a number or a drop-down list.
If text, the number in parentheses indicates the maximum number of characters.
If a drop-down list (and if the property is enabled), you can click the Edit icon
to view
or edit the options that appear in the list.
Enabled indicates whether the field will be enabled in the interface and report output. Click inside the cell to toggle between Yes and No. An asterisk (*) indicates that the field cannot be disabled.
Display Name is the name that will appear in the interface and report output. This can be changed to whatever fits your needs.
Tooltip is a short statement that will be displayed when a user holds the mouse over the field in a table or worksheet. This can be changed to whatever fits your needs.
Clear
Tooltips deletes all of the tooltips from all of the properties
in the current interface style.
Option to Disable Controls or Actions
On the FMEA > Controls page and the FMEA > Actions page, an additional option will be displayed above each properties table.
If you clear the Enable Controls for Causes check box, all controls-related functionality will be disabled within the project. The properties table will be disabled because these settings are not applicable for this interface style.
If you clear the Enable Actions for Causes check box, the actions-related functionality in FMEAs will be disabled within the project. However, the properties table will remain enabled because these settings will still be used for action records in the Project Planner and the My Portal window.
Option to Enable the Alpha/Beta Ratio Worksheet
Starting in Version 2019, on the FMEA > Alpha/Beta page, the Enable Alpha/Beta ratio analysis option is displayed above the properties table. Selecting this check box, enables the Alpha/Beta Ratios worksheet for all local FMEAs within the project. If the option is not selected, the properties table will be disabled and the worksheet will not be shown.
