Create DFR Planner Window

The Create DFR Planner window allows you to create a new DFR planner based on templates that are saved in the current database. Templates allow you to pre-populate the new plan with information about the typical Design for Reliability phases that are used by your organization. You can then modify the plan to fit your specific situation and, if desired, save it as a new template for future use.

If you wish to delete templates from the active library or import ones from another library, use the DFR Planner page of the Profiles/Library Manager.

To base the new plan on a template, select Based on Existing Template in the Options area. All of the templates in the current database will be available in the Select Template area. After you select the template you wish to use, enter the starting date for the plan in the Set Start Date area and click OK.

If you wish to create a blank DFR planner, select Blank in the Options area. The DFR Gate Properties window will appear so you can define the first gate in the new plan.
