To get started, click the File menu to show the Backstage View’s tab listed on the left side of the window. Info, New, Open, Save, Save As, Print, Share, Export, Close, Account, and Options are some of the items you’ll encounter. Read the
description of the important ones given below and look through the helpful screenshots. You’ll need to create or open a document saved in MS Word 2013 to work with it in the Backstage View. To see the information about the file you are currently working on, hit the first tab of the File menu named Info. The option of giving you the possibility to protect your document from editing is found here as well as the list of the document’s properties below the Properties button. If you need to know the document’s size, quantity of words, date of last
modification, or author’s name, you can find them in this list. To get more information, such as the company name or document’s status, click Show All Properties in the drop-down. After clicking the Properties button, you’ll get access to Advanced properties. Hit that to get a pop-up window with tab marks. With this you can:
• See general information about the document in General
• Add to the document’s title or
company info in Summary
• Get detailed information (e.g. quantity of pages or characters) in Statistics
• Look through the contents in Contents
• Add custom information in Custom Another option you’ll see after dropping-down the Properties button is the Show Document Panel. Click that and you’ll get the usual document panel with document’s properties above it. You can edit
those properties. You can add keywords, for example, which will be used for searching the document in the Keywords field. Next, you can explore other tabs and use them according to your needs. If you need to create a new document, go to the New option where you can select a template for it. Opening the existing document can be done by hitting the Open button. Recently used documents will show up in Recent documents. You can select any of them or you can browse a document from your hard drive by using the
Computer option. To save changes you’ve made in an existing document, press the Save button. To save the newly created document somewhere on your computer, use Save As. By using the Print tab,
you can print your document on a printer. If you want to share your document with other people, go to the Share tab. You can attach a document to an email message and send it to anybody. Sharing online can also be done through the SkyDrive. When
you need to create a PDF or XPS file from a MS Word document, you can change the file type by using the Export tab. Finally, you can close the document by clicking the Close tab. If you want
to leave the Backstage View and go back to editing the document, click the button with a left pointing arrow located above the tabs. Simon CalderChris “Simon” Calder was working as a Project Manager in IT for one of Los Angeles’ most prestigious cultural institutions, LACMA. He taught himself to use Microsoft Project from a giant textbook and hated every moment of it. Online learning was in its infancy then, but he spotted an opportunity and
made an online MS Project course - the rest, as they say, is history! The Backstage view (File tab) is the first view you will see when you start a ReliaSoft desktop application. Save As (available only when a standard database is currently open) saves a copy of the standard database to another pathname/filename and/or file type. You can save the file as a new standard database (*.rsr21) or compressed
standard database (*.rsgz21). Pack and E-mail (available only when a standard database is currently open) sends a compressed version of the standard database via e-mail. Open Database opens an existing standard database, enterprise
database or compressed standard database. Any database created in Version 9 or later can be opened. Close Database closes the database. You also can close the database by opening another database or by exiting the application. Recent shows a list of recently opened database files (*.rsr21 and *.rserp) and a list of recently accessed
locations. Clicking a database will open it, and clicking a location will allow you to browse for databases in that location. The number of items in these lists is set in the Common Settings page of the Application Setup. You can pin items to a list by clicking the pushpin icon associated with the item; when the pin is vertical, the item will not roll off the list. New
allows you to create a new standard database (*.rsr21) or connection file for access to an enterprise database (*.rserp). Manage
Database provides a variety of tools and configurable settings for the database. The settings are shared by all users and all analysis projects in a database. Print (available only in Weibull++ and BlockSim) generates a print preview of the current data sheet, diagram or plot, and sends it to the printer. Help provides a variety of resources to help you use the application more effectively. In addition, it displays information about the application, including the Compile Release Version (CRV) and License information. Application Setup allows you to set your personal preferences for working with analyses, such as the math precision, default plot settings and the like. The settings apply only to the current computer/username, and they do not affect the results of the analyses. Exit closes the
current database (if any) and shuts down the application. Manage DatabaseThe Manage Database section of the Backstage View contains the following commands. The available commands depend on the current application and the database type. Users Users and Security controls which users can access the database and their permissions. User Groups create and manage groups of users that can be assigned to actions, messages,
etc. throughout the current database. Database Logins displays a list of users who have connected to the database and allows you to export this information to Excel. Reset "In Use" Flags allows you to reset the flags that indicate the "in use" status of projects or items within a project. Lambda Predict Database SettingsAvailable only in Lambda Predict: FIDES Settings Manager defines the settings related to the
FIDES prediction standard such as process audits, pi factors, categories, etc. (See FIDES Settings Manager in the Lambda Predict documentation.) Custom Derating Standards Manager allows you to add, edit, delete or import/export custom derating standards. (See
Creating Custom Derating Standards in the Lambda Predict documentation.) MIL-217 Custom Connections defines custom connection types for use with the MIL-HDBK-217F prediction standard. (See MIL-217 Custom Connection Types in the Lambda Predict documentation.)XFMEA/RCM++ LibrariesAvailable only in XFMEA/RCM++: Profiles/Library Manager configures the predefined settings of the profiles stored in the software library. Profiles allow you to customize the look, drop-down lists, rating scales
and other settings of a particular project in order to fit the needs of the analysis. (See Profiles/Library Manager in the XFMEA/RCM++ documentation.) Templates Manager allows you to manage the configurable templates that can be used for
customized reports, saved queries or importing/exporting data via Excel. (See Templates Manager in the XFMEA/RCM++ documentation.) Settings and Predefined Options Database Settings allows you to enable alerts via e-mail or SMS, activate history logs, and other settings. Unit Settings defines the unit and measurement settings that will be available for use in any
project within the database. Project/Item Categories defines the categories that can be used to filter and group data throughout the database. Default Name Formats (not applicable for MPC) specifies the default names for new resources, as well as new blocks in BlockSim RBDs, fault trees and phase diagrams. Project Planning
Resources (not applicable for MPC) defines the cost categories, teams, materials and facilities that are used for tracking costs, man hours and resource utilization in actions and Project Planner gates. Working Days/Holidays (not applicable for MPC) specifies the business days when
project planning resources can be utilized. Dashboard Layout Manager (not applicable for MPC) shows all of the predefined dashboard layouts that will be available for any user to view for a particular data set.
Task Types (applicable only in RCM++ and MPC) maps the task types used in RCM++ (e.g., Restoration, Failure Finding, etc.) to the corresponding task classes in the universal reliability definition (e.g., Preventive, Inspection, etc.) so that simulation and cost calculation results are accurate. (See
Task Types in RCM++ in the XFMEA/RCM++ documentation.) In MPC, it allows you to modify the abbreviations used for the MSG-3 task types. (See Task Type Abbreviations in MPC in the MPC documentation.)
XFRACAS Connection is available only for standard databases (*.rsr21) in Weibull++ and XFMEA/RCM++. It allows you to define connection settings for an enterprise database. New Enterprise Database opens a wizard that leads you through the steps to create a new enterprise database (SQL Server or Oracle database). To use this option, you must have access to a server with a supported version of SQL Server or Oracle and you must have the
appropriate permissions to create a new database on the server. Upgrade Enterprise Repository converts an existing Version 9 or later enterprise database to a Version 2021 enterprise database. This cannot be undone. It
is recommended that you create a backup of the database before performing the upgrade. Upgrade Version 8 Repository copies all of the existing data from a Version 8 enterprise database to a new Version 2021 enterprise database.
Note: This option is available only in Version 21.0.1 and earlier. Restore Points manages all of the project backups that are stored in the current database. Compact
and Repair is available only in a standard database (*.rsr21). It helps to reduce the size of the database and protect against data loss and corruption. (See Backups and Database Maintenance.) Import from Version 5 is available only in XFMEA/RCM++. It allows you to import data from a Version 5 XFMEA/RCM++ database. This command is available only when you are connected to an enterprise database and have the "Manage users and
logins" permission and the applicable "Manage all projects" permissions. Note: This option is available only in Version 21.0.1 and earlier.
