Lifecycle Section

The Lifecycle section provides commands for managing the maturity and revision of model elements.

Important: These commands are available for:
  • Functional, logical, and physical reference
  • Fallible reference
  • Fault tree elements

For more information, see Social and Collaborative: Product Development - Model Based: Collaborative Lifecycle for Dashboard User's Guide.



Open Revision
Enables to open another revision from a list of all the existing revisions.


Replace by Revision
Replaces the selected element with an existing revision.


Import Failure Mode from Existing Revision
Imports all failure modes from another revision of the selected reference or fault tree element.
From the Import Failure Modes from Existing Revision dialog box, select a revision in the list.


Create Revision
Captures a particular derivation of an object during its lifecycle.

Use the icons at the upper-right corner to switch between the vertical and horizontal layout.

Note: If a fallible reference is selected, its failure modes are copied. The new version is aggregated to the same functional, logical or physical reference as the previous version.

Maturity
Modifies the maturity state of the selected objects.

In the dialog box, select the target state from the maturity graph if you selected one object, or from the list if you selected several objects. Then, click Ok.

For more information, see Changing Maturity.

Revisions

Displays the revisions, branches, and possibly duplicates of the selected object in the revision graph.

Select an object and click the command

The links between objects and the icon on each of them show the lifecycle operation at the origin of their creation.

Use the toolbar to navigate and resize the display. You can also display the graph list view to see the objects in a spreadsheet.
