About Inspection Checklists

The baseline Inspection families are:

• External Checklist
• Internal Checklist
• Internal Exchanger Checklist
• PRD Pop Test Checklist

Each of these families is hard-coded to use a particular System Code Table to create the finding sections and rows that appear in the grid on the Inspection Findings Checklist page. The sections and rows on the Inspection Findings Checklist page are built from System Code Tables and referenced System Codes.

Note: If you create custom Checklists subfamilies, you must add the Checklist System Code Table ID field (i.e., a field in the Checklists family) to the custom family.

The baseline GE Digital APM database contains the following System Code Table:

• ID: MI API 653 EXTERNAL CHECKLIST FINDING SECTIONS
• Description: API 653 External Checklist Finding Section

This System Code Table contains the following System Codes:

• General
• Connections
• Supports

Each of the System Codes that belong to this System Code Table contain referenced System Codes. For example, the System Code Supports contains the following referenced System Codes:

• Anchor Bolts
• Dike/Retaining Wall
• Foundation
• Other

Together, the System Code Tables, System Codes, and referenced System Codes determine which sections and rows you will see on the Inspection Finding Checklist page. Using this example:

• Each System Code belonging to the System Code Table MI API 653 EXTERNAL CHECKLIST FINDING SECTIONS becomes a finding section.
• In each finding section, each referenced System Code becomes a separate row.

Each field within the checklist can be modified by the user to best fit the work process.
