Data mirroring allows you to dynamically link different worksheets to avoid duplication of work. Unlike the Reference function, it allows you link the data selectively. For example in a column of 100 items, you can copy over only five items. Data mirroring can be used to link related worksheets, as for example:
• Work Orders with Risk Analysis.
• BOM with Risk Analysis.
• HAZOP with LOPA.
In order for you to use data mirroring in your study, you must create the data mirroring linkages in Settings. For more information, see Data Mirroring on page 287.
