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