DescriptionTracking ID
The following enhancements have been added to capture the asset health information in the Inspection Management module:
  • Health Evaluation option has been added to the Event Configuration section of the Inspection Admin Preferences page. If you select this option when creating the main event, you can create Inspection Health Evaluation records and link them to the asset.
  • Enable Asset Mapping option has been added to the Template Name window of the Checklist Configuration page. If you select this option, the Asset Mapping section appears in the Create Inspection window.
  • When you create a new inspection event, you can now see a new section Asset Mapping added to the Create Inspection window. You can now select the sub-assets and map them to the corresponding checklist categories. The Inspection Health Evaluations generated for these checklist categories are then linked to their corresponding asset.
    Note: The Asset Mapping section appears only when you select to create an inspection checklist template from the Inspection Event list, and that template has the Enabled Asset Mapping option selected.
  • To facilitate selection of asset health, new icons have been added to the Inspection Data page. Icons are also available for each category header in a checklist inspection.
  • The Inspection Field Data Collection feature has been modified to support the ability to capture health evaluation information when performing mobile checklist inspections.
  • When collecting inspection data for an event record that has Inspection Health Evaluation data, an icon indicating the health of the overall asset is available on the header of the mobile inspection. This icon shows the worst-case indicator level of the health assessments against the checklist findings. A card is available on each checklist category for defining the health assessment value and comments.

To enhance the usability of viewing images created using the mobile Field Data Collection feature, or created manually as reference documents, the following enhancements have been made:
  • An image gallery button has been added for the inspection and any related record of the inspection that supports reference documents (i.e., General Findings or sub-inspections). The image gallery displays reference documents containing images that are either directly stored in the APM or as external network paths such as UNC or URL paths.
  • All images created or linked to a related record of an inspection, are now also linked to the root inspection event record. This allows you to view all the images across the inspection in one location. This is also true for images synced from the Inspection Field Data Collection feature.
    Note: When you manually unlink a reference document containing an image from a related record, the link between the reference document and the root inspection event will remain. You can unlink the reference document from the inspection event record as well.
  • For images against either General Findings or Checklist Findings, the image gallery dialog now displays the description of the Reference Document and the Finding Summary value from the finding record.
  • For Checklist Inspections, a similar functionality has been added for each checklist category and an image button has been added with each category header. All images collected against finding items within that category are displayed in the image gallery.
    Note: The height of individual Checklist Finding rows has been increased for more visibility of the summary text.

    Note: If you have a pop-up blocker enabled in your browser, you need to disable it to download the report.
