Managing Logical Groups

You can define groups in multivalued cells by assigning group numbers. You can then manage these logical groups and sort them. In the following scenario, controls are associated with a failure mode named: The axle vibration. The studied columns can contain requirements. The behavior is the same for other scenarios.

Before you begin:
  • At least, the two columns of the template applied to a table must have a group type name associated with. These columns are: Prevention Controls and Detection Controls.
  • In Requirements, create the following prevention controls:
    • Prev1: The wheel driven by the axle must be well balanced.
    • Prev2: The diameter of the hole should not vary more than 0.2 mm.
  • In Requirements, create the following detection controls:
    • Detect1: Monthly inspection for hole wear
    • Detect2: Monthly balancing inspection
    • Detect3: Monthly inspection for axle wear

About Logical Groups
  1. In the cell of the first line and the Prevention Controls column, drag Prev1 and Prev2.
    A new group number is computed and assigned to each dragged requirement. It is displayed in the upper-left side of the tile. In this scenario, the first number is 1 and the other is 2.
  2. In the cell of the first line and the Detection Controls column, drag Detect1 and Detect2.
    In this scenario, the computed group names are 3 and 4.

  3. To associate the preventions with the detections using groups:
    1. Click number 4 to edit and change the number of the group to 1, and then press Enter.
      The tile takes the first position in the cell.
    2. Click number 3 to edit and change the number of the group to 2, and then press Enter.
      After each change, the tiles are reordered in ascending order.
  4. Drag Detect3 into the detection cell.
    It is assigned the group number 3.
  5. Click number 3 and enter 2.
    Two detection controls are now associated with a prevention control.
