Change the default FMEA behaviour
Allow editing of occurrence and detection values for actions in an action group
The Fmea_Edit_OD_Value_On_ActionGroup preference let you specify if quality engineers can edit the occurrence and detection values for the actions in an action group.
When you set the value of the Fmea_Edit_OD_Value_On_ActionGroup preference to false, users can users can edit the occurrence and detection values for any prevention or detection actions in the action group.
When you set the value of the Fmea_Edit_OD_Value_On_ActionGroup preference to true, users can edit the occurrence value if at least one prevention action is specified in the action group and detection value if at least one detection action is specified in the action group respectively.
For example, if an action group consists of prevention actions only, and the Fmea_Edit_OD_Value_On_ActionGroup preference is set to true, then users can edit the occurrence value only. Since no detection actions are specified, users cannot edit the detection value. To be able to edit both the occurrence and detection values as required, quality engineers must add a detection action to the action group.
