This section outlines the common functions and best practices for effectively managing FMEA worksheets.

Common Functions

• Drag & Drop (Re-sorting Records): Enables quick reordering of records to prioritize or organize data without deleting or recreating entries.
• Adding New Blank Records in Bulk: Speeds up data entry for large FMEAs or when preparing templates for multiple items.
• Duplicating Records: Saves time when similar records need to be created, minimizing manual data entry errors.
• Undo: Helps correct mistakes quickly without having to redo multiple steps manually.

Common Indicators

• Edited Rows: Rows that have been edited will be highlighted in the user’s assigned color. The user’s avatar will appear at the end of the edited row, with a bubble count showing the total number of changes made.
• Updated Cells (Affecting Bubble Counts): Cells affected by updates will appear in a slightly darker shade to indicate that a change has occurred.
  
  

Tip: These updated cells identified with darker shades, along with row labels (mentioned below), contribute to the total bubble count for quick tracking.

• Row Labels (Affecting Bubble Counts): Certain labels are added to rows to indicate specific actions
  • New – Row has been newly added.
  • Duplicate – Row has been copied from another record.
  • Deleted – Row is marked for removal.

Tip: These labels, along with darker shading on edited items (mentioned above), contribute to the bubble count for quick tracking.

• Reusable Records: Reusable records display a diagonal background, indicating content or data that has been pre-defined by administrators. This content is not intended to be updated. If a user modifies it, an icon will appear to indicate that the record is no longer in sync with the source, effectively breaking the linkage. In non-compact mode, a three-book icon also appears to signify that the record originates from the reusable library.
