In addition to the metrics and fields listed above, MIL-STD-1629A describes many annotative fields that can appear in a FMEA Worksheet. These fields can be included in an eXpress FMECA Chart by setting up corresponding attributes and then creating custom attribute columns in the FMECA. The following table lists some of these fields:
Field
eXpress Equivalent
Function
Analyst-defined object attribute  in a custom FMECA column
Failure Mode Causes
Analyst-defined failure mode attribute  in a custom FMECA column
Mission Phase/Operational Mode
Analyst-defined failure effect attribute  in a custom FMECA column
Other Indications
