|---|---|---|---|

Automatically roll up Effects
|
Indicates whether completing Local Effect for a failure mode in the FMEA Worksheet table causes the same text to be inserted for Failure Mode for the next higher item in the FMEA Tree Items table.
• When this checkbox is cleared (default), entering a local effect does not insert the same text as a failure mode for the next higher tree item. In this case, you can manually roll up one or more local effects if desired.
• When this checkbox is selected, entering a local effect does insert the same text as a failure mode for the next higher tree item. If this same mode already exists for the next higher item, a duplicate mode is not inserted.
For more information, see FMEA Roll Up and Building.

Delete Modes with children
|
Indicates whether modes with children are deleted when the Build FMEA command is selected. When this checkbox is cleared (default), modes with children are not deleted.
|
||
|
Delete Modes without contributing Effects
|
Indicates whether modes without contributing effects are deleted when the Build FMEA command is selected. When this checkbox is cleared (default), modes without contributing effects are not deleted.

|
Do not build Failure Effect Probability
|
Indicates whether the Failure Effect Probability value is copied from the top-level effect to all lower-level contributing effects when the Build FMEA command is selected.
• When this checkbox is cleared (default), the value for the top-level effect is copied to all contributing effects. Some FMEA data structures do not include a separate effects data level. For these structures, the probability value for the failure mode is copied down to the modes that contributed to the top-level effect.
• When this checkbox is selected, the value for the top-level effect is not copied to all contributing effects. This means that you can set the probability value at each lower-level effect based on its specific context. The values that you enter are not modified when the Build FMEA command is selected.
