The Reliability Prediction Dashboard

The Relyence Reliability Prediction Dashboard gathers and organizes your Reliability Prediction data to provide a holistic overview of your product or system. You can create any number of Reliability Prediction Dashboards and customize them to your needs. 

For complete details on Relyence Dashboard capabilities, please refer to the  Getting Started with the Relyence Dashboard topic for an introductory overview, the Customizing the Relyence Dashboard topic for information on creating and customizing Dashboards to suit your needs, and the Managing Dashboards topic for details on setting properties, deleting, and duplicating Dashboards.

Relyence Dashboards are created by adding widgets from the Relyence Dashboard Editor. The Dashboard widgets includes a variety of charts, tables, and graphs aggregating data into a high-level visual format. The following applies to all Dashboard widgets:

  • Widgets can be expanded to full-screen size of viewing. Click the Maximize/Minimize icon in the upper right corner of the widget to expand and collapse a widget.
  • Drilldown is supported in many widgets. For example, clicking on a row in a table-based widget will open the underlying Analysis and take you to the selected data. 
  • Data in table-based widgets can be exported to an Excel-based report. Click the Export Report icon in the upper right corner of a widget to create an Excel report.
  • For performance reasons, table-based widgets are limited to 50 rows of data. To view all the data, utilize the Excel Report feature.

Each widget has a unique set of Properties to allow you to customize it to suit your needs. The listing below describes the available widgets and their associated property settings.

All widgets except for those in the General group have these Properties:

  • Analyses: You can choose which Analyses you want the widget to use for data gathering. The dropdown list displays a listing of Analyses that pertain to the widget (i.e. FMEA Analyses for FMEA widgets). You can choose one Analysis or multiple Analyses.
  • Use sample data: When selected, the widget will show a randomly generated set of data. 
  • Use My Titles: When selected, the Title and Subtitle fields appear for you to enter your own titles for the widget when displayed. If not set, Relyence uses default titles and subtitles.

All widgets that are available for Relyence Products that use an Analysis Tree may include the following Properties:

  • Only include the selected Subsystem: If you want to include only a specific subsystem in the widget, select the Only include the selected Subsystem checkbox. You must have only a single Analysis selected in the Analyses list to be able to select a Subsystem. When selected, choose the Subsystem from the Analysis Tree list you want to include.
  • Only include <data> from a selected Subsystem: If you want to include only the data (i.e. Parts, Incidents, etc.) from a specific subsystem, or branch of a subsystem, in the widget, select the Only include <data> from a selected Subsystem checkbox. You must have only a single Analysis selected in the Analyses list to be able to select a Subsystem or Subsystem branch. When selected, choose the Subsystem from the Analysis Tree list you want to include. To include the Subsystem and its branch, select the Include children checkbox.

Additional Properties that appear for specific widgets are noted below.

General Widgets

  • Analysis Status: A list of all Analyses that you have access to view or edit. The listing includes the Analysis Name and Description, the Owners, the Status, the date last modified and the team member who made the last modification. Click on a row to open the Analysis.
  • Analysis Status Breakdown: A pie chart showing the number of Analyses in each Analysis Status state. Click on a pie chart slice to drilldown and see the list of Analyses in the particular Status state. You can then click on an Analysis in the drilldown list to open it.
  • Recent Analyses: A list of your most recently used Analyses. Click on the Analysis to re-open.
  • Sign In Log: A listing of all Sign Ins to Relyence. The listing includes the team member Name, Email, and the Sign In date. (Note: This widget is only available if you have the Sign In Logging option licensed.)
    • Properties:
      • Include only Sign Ins with unavailable licenses. Select to include log ins that did not acquire all requested licenses.
      • Include only most recent unique Sign Ins: Select to include a listing of team members who have signed in. If someone signs in more than once, they will only appear in the list once. If you want to track every Sign In, clear this checkbox.
      • Number of months to include: Select from 1 - 12 months.
  • Sign Ins Per Month: A graph showing the number of Sign Ins per month up to the previous 12 months. (Note: This widget is only available if you have the Sign In Logging option licensed.)
    • Properties:
      • Include only Sign Ins with unavailable licenses. Select to include log ins that did not acquire all requested licenses.
      • Include only unique Sign Ins: Select to include a listing of team members who have signed in. If someone signs in more than once, they will only appear in the list once. If you want to track every Sign In, clear this checkbox.
      • Number of months to include: Select from 1 - 12 months.

Reliability Prediction Widgets

  • Failure Rate Percentage: A pie chart showing the failure rate percentage of your Analysis Tree Subsystems.
  • Failure Rate vs Environment: A line chart of failure rate values over a specified range of environments.
    • Properties:
      • Environments: Select the Environments you want to include in the chart.
  • Failure Rate vs Temperature: A line chart of failure rate values over a specified range of temperatures.
    • Properties:
      • Temperature Range From and To: Set the starting and ending temperatures for the chart.
      • Step by: Set the desired interval between starting and ending temperatures to use for charting.
  • First Year Dropout Rate: A line chart of the failure rates during the first year of operation. Based on early life data.
  • Overstressed Parts: A listing of overstressed parts.
  • Parts Contributing 80% of Failure Rate: A bar chart showing the parts whose failure rates contribute to 80% of the overall Analysis failure rate.
  • Subsystem Failure Rate: A bar chart of the failure rates of the subsystems in the specified Analysis.
  • Tagged Parts: A listing of tagged parts.
  • Top N Failure Rate Parts: A bar chart of the parts with the (N) number highest or lowest failure rate values.
    • Select and values: Select from Highest or Lowest and enter the number of values to include.
  • What If?: A bar graph of showing a comparison of failure rates of specified What If? scenarios.
    • Properties:
      • What If? Scenarios: Select the What If? scenarios to include.
      • Include Original Analysis results: Select to include the failure rate of the original Analysis, otherwise clear.
      • Always recalculate results when loading widget: Select to always recalculate all failure rates prior to displaying the graph. If you know all failure rate calculations will remain up-to-date, then there is no need to always recalculate before displaying this widget. If selected, calculations make take some time, so the Dashboard including this widget may be slow to load.
