Change the default FMEA behaviour

Enable a multi-line display of an FMEA object name

By default, an FMEA object's name is displayed in a single line within a node. This is because the default value of the Qfm0FMEA_NetView_MultilineEllipsis preference is false.

A quality engineer can hover over an FMEA name to view its complete name.
