Deleting Failure Effects
To delete a failure effect, you must have permission to delete failure effect objects in your quality context. This permission is assigned to the Quality System Manager and Reliability Engineer roles out-of-the-box.
Failure effects can only be deleted if they are not in use. If you try to delete a failure effect that is in use, an error message appears.
To delete a failure effect, do the following:
1. In your quality context, click Failure Effects.
2. In the Failure Effects table, select the failure effect to delete.
3. Click the delete icon . A confirmation message appears.
4. Click OK.
