Inserting an Item
An item is a functional description of the part or assembly selected in the FMEA Tree Items table. When you insert an item in the FMEA Worksheet table, a mode and all other child data levels specified in the FMEA Design file are also inserted.

If you indicated that failure modes are to be inserted into a component FMEA from enabled FMEA Modes Library files, when a part is inserted in the FMEA Tree Items table, the item and failure modes associated with this part are inserted in the FMEA Worksheet table. However, as your analysis progresses to higher levels in the FMEA tree, you must manually insert items and failure modes for assemblies in the FMEA Worksheet table.
