Home > Documents and Diagrams Procedures > Sheet Components
iGrafx documents can contain sheet components in addition to diagrams. They provide basic spreadsheet features you can use to display and manipulate data and also make calculations. The types of sheets included are: Basic sheet, FMEA sheet, and Prioritization Matrix.
Sheets can be used as the only components in documents or in combination with diagrams. When used in conjunction with diagrams, you may link cells, columns, or rows in the sheets to objects in the diagrams such as shapes. These links are bidirectional so you can create dynamic links between the sheet and diagram. Changes made in the sheets are reflected in the diagrams, and changes made to the diagrams update the data displayed in the sheets.
The prioritization matrix contains calculated fields of weighted importance to determine the most important steps in a process.
The FMEA automatically inserts an occurrence ranking if you set values for causes and sample size. You can export a Cause and Effect diagram to FMEA as explained in Generate FMEA, or add an FMEA component.
