Manage FIDES Settings

Manage FIDES Categories

You can use customized categories to sort and filter the saved FIDES settings that are available in the current database. These categories are optional, and they’re intended to provide a flexible way to organize the FIDES settings so they are easier to find when needed.

For maximum flexibility, the categories are defined separately for each type of saved FIDES setting. For example, you may wish to use one set of categories to organize the saved phases, and different sets of categories to manage different types of pi factors.

These categories will then be available when applicable throughout the interface to help you filter or sort lists of saved FIDES settings. For example, when you create a new pi factor assessment, you can use the Category drop-down list to assign any of the applicable categories. Then later when you select a saved pi factor to set the value for a particular property in a FIDES analysis, you will be able to sort the list by category in order to make it easier to find the information you need.

To view or edit the categories that are defined in the current database, choose File > Manage Repository > Manage FIDES Settings, then click the Categories button.

In the Manage FIDES Categories window, use the Select Category Type drop-down list to select which type of setting you want to manage (e.g., Phase, Pi Ruggedizing, Pi Part Manufacturing, etc.). The table displays the categories, if any, that have been defined for the selected type. Use the icons at the bottom of the window to:

  Add a new row at the bottom of the list.

  Insert a new row above the row that is currently selected.

  Delete the row that is currently selected.

Move Up and  Move Down move the selected row up or down in the list.

Click OK to save your changes or Cancel to close the window without saving any changes.
