Associating a FRACAS Incident or FMEA Action With a Problem
If you have already have a problem, and you have a FRACAS incident or FMEA action you want to group into this higher-level problem, you can associate it with the problem.
1. Select the incident or action you want to associate with a problem.
2. Do one of the following:
◦ Select > .
◦ Right-click the record and select Associate with Problem.
 |
If a custom singular table name is assigned to the FRACAS Incidents table or a custom label is assigned to the FMEA action data level, the custom name is used in the menu command.
|
The window opens for adding and removing associations.
3. In the Selected column, select the checkbox for the problem with which you want to associate the record.
You can associate an incident or action with only one problem.
If the problem is not yet inserted, you can click the Escalate button in the lower left corner of the window to escalate the incident or action to a newly created problem. You can also remove or change an association by clearing the selected checkbox or selecting the checkbox for another problem.
4. When finished, click OK.
In the table, a problem icon is shown in the row header for a record associated with a problem.
If the Table Format and Form Design files for this table include shared fields, a window opens to confirm the association. If these files do not include shared fields, this window is not shown. After you confirm the association (if required), any data in the record’s shared fields is replaced with data from the problem’s shared fields.

In the desktop application only, you can use the standard Windows drag-and-drop method to drag a FRACAS incident and drop it onto a problem in the Problems table. If the incident is already associated with a different problem, a confirmation window opens for changing the association.
