HARA Custom Fields
Severity, exposure, controllability, and ASIL classification fields for hazard analysis.
Failure Mode Custom Fields
FMEA-specific fields including severity, occurrence, detection, and action priority ratings.
Risk Record Custom Fields
Risk-level classification, mitigation tracking, and control effectiveness fields.
Characteristic Custom Fields
Target values, tolerances, and design specification fields for system characteristics.
Control Plan Custom Fields
Measurement methods, sample frequency, reaction plans, and control effectiveness tracking.
Process Step Custom Fields
Process parameters, reaction plans, and manufacturing control fields for APQP workflows.
Additional Custom Field Groups
- Safety Goal Custom Fields — Derived safety goal properties and control linkage fields
- System Element Custom Fields — System decomposition, functional safety lifecycle, and ASIL allocation fields
- Design Requirement Custom Fields — Safety classification and special characteristic designation fields
Purpose of Custom Fields
TestAuto2 uses custom fields to:- Classify and rate risks — HARA severity/exposure/controllability, FMEA occurrence/detection, risk probability/severity
- Track mitigation and controls — Link failure modes to risk controls, record post-mitigation ratings, monitor control effectiveness
- Specify design intent — Target values, tolerances, special characteristics (SC/CC), ASIL allocation
- Enable automated calculations — Formula-driven action priority, risk matrices, compliance scoring
- Enforce compliance rules — Mandatory fields for ISO 26262/14971 approval gates, validation rules tied to workflow states
Integration with Risksheet and PowerSheet
Custom fields are displayed, edited, and calculated within risksheet and powersheet configurations:- Risksheet columns map to custom fields with formatters, validators, and cell-level styling
- PowerSheet sheets render custom fields as expandable data rows with visual grouping and color-coding by severity/priority
- Formulas reference custom fields to compute derived metrics (e.g., AP = S × O ÷ D)
Field Reference Organization
Each custom field group page lists:- Field definitions — Name, type, data constraints, default values
- Usage context — Which work item types, documents, and roles use these fields
- Calculation rules — Formulas, dependencies, auto-population logic
- Validation rules — Required fields, allowed value ranges, conditional constraints
- Display formatting — Cell styling, color-coding, icon rendering in sheets and dashboards
