Before adding an FMEA family, it is important to point out that there are two versions available to be created: 4th edition FMEA and the most recent version, AIAG and VDA FMEA. These templates are defined in the FMEA type. Thus, according to the version configured in the type, the creation of the FMEA can take place in different ways.
To add a new FMEA family, on the main screen toolbar, click on the  button and select the type that will classify the family to be created.
By selecting a type configured with the 4th edition, the FMEA family data screen will be displayed. Fill out the fields in the following sections:
General data
In this section, the following fields will be available for completion:
Fields
|
FMEA #
|
Enter the number or code that identifies the FMEA. Use the arrow next to this field to generate an automatic ID #. Do not forget that if the FMEA family type is configured to use a mask, at the time of generating the automatic ID #, its mask will be displayed. The mask can be edited, if the corresponding option is selected during the association of the mask with the FMEA type.
|

|
Select the FMEA start date.
|
Revision #

Save the record after filling in the general date of the FMEA family. At this point, the record behaves as follows:
▪If it has revision control: The system asks whether the user wishes to start a new revision. See more details in the Revising FMEAs section. If you do not wish the family to go through the revision during its creation, be sure to fill in the Revision data field of the General data section. ▪IF it does not have revision control: The remaining tabs of the FMEA family data screen will be enabled for completion. See more details in the steps of the "Edit FMEA family data" subtopic of this section.
