Fault Templates

 
 
 
 
New Fault Templates Editing Mode
A “Fault Templates” editing mode has been added. This editing mode can be invoked using a new icon on the Design Editing Toolbar (shown at right). This editing mode allows fault templates to be created, displayed and/or edited without having to include the FAULT TEMPLATES folder in the Explorer Tree. (Note: this editing mode is only available when the eXpress Maintenance Module is both licensed and enabled).
 
 
 
When this editing mode is active, a series of filter buttons appear at the top of the window, allowing the user to select whether or not to display fault templates that have a given status, or that contain more than
a specified number of elements.
 
There is also a dropbox that allows the user to display only filters for which user-defined or automatically- calculated maintenance procedures exist for the selected maintenance plan (all are displayed by default).
 
Templates containing different instances of the same faults (that is, the same lower-level faults, but in different assemblies) are now automatically grouped together into folders. Instance grouping can be disabled by clicking on an icon at the bottom of the list.
 
A text filter is also provided, thereby allowing fault templates containing specific elements to be found quickly. If the fault templates have been assigned fault codes (and the fault codes are displayed instead of the template names), this text filter can also be used to display the template for a given fault code.
 
Standard sort and expand/collapse icons are also included, allowing additional control to how fault templates are displayed in this editing mode.
