Family characteristics

In the Characteristics section, you can assign one or more characteristics to the family. The characteristics can be of the following types:

  • Number;

  • Text;

  • Date/Time;

  • Boolean;

  • Enum.

When saving the family record, the following validations are performed:

  • No repeated characteristics can exist;

  • Number: checks if the text entered in the Value field is a number, if the number of decimal places matches the unit of the characteristic, and if the separator matches the user's language;

  • Date/Time: checks if the text entered in the Value field is a date and/or a time;

  • Boolean : checks if the text entered in the Value field is 0 for False and 1 for True;

  • Enum: checks if the enum value matches the values of the selected characteristic.


Failure typifications

To perform the typification of possible failures associated with the family being created or edited, follow these steps:

  1. Click on the + icon, in the upper left corner of the form, next to the General tab, and select Failure Typifications;

  2. In the grid, select the symptoms, causes and actions associated with the family.
