Findings Listing¶

As with the Event Listing, the Findings Listing grid lists all Findings associated with the events based on the currently applied filters. Primary filters are:

Asset;
Workpack; and
Event Type

The number of events in the grid (based on the current filters) is displayed in the Findings Listing tab title.

Tip

The asset hierarchy is pivotal to the Inspections screen as all data will be filtered by the currently selected asset. If the Child Assets toolbar button is not in the “Down” state, then only events recorded on the selected asset will be shown (eg. events on child assets will not be listed).

A finding record has a Code, a Severity ranking, Reason (descriptive text) and Remedial Action (descriptive text). Upon review, if the you deem that the Finding should be escalated to an Anomaly, then you should check the Anomaly Required field, and choose an Anomaly from the list and linked to the Finding. If you click the Add button on the Select Anomaly dialog, the new anomaly will have the asset, code, and various other fields pre-populated for you.

Properties of a Finding¶

Event - The Event which this Finding is connected to.
Code - Code which identifies the type of Finding. These are the same codes that are used to classify Anomalies. Some typical codes may include “CD”, “PD” or “VIB” (Coating Damage, Physical Damage or Vibration); however, anomaly codes are user-definable and can be configured from Configuration ‣ Anomalies.
Severity - Choose from a list of pre-defined Severity Levels. Typical severity levels may include “Level 1 - Contributor”, “Level 2 - Degraded”, “Level 3 - Damaged”, “Level 4 - Danger” and “Level 5 - Extreme Danger”; however, severity levels are user-definable and can be configured from the Configuration ‣ Anomalies area. These are the same severities that are used to classify Anomalies. Anomaly severities can also be assigned to Anomaly Triggers.
Reason - Text field. Size unlimited.
Remedial Action - Text field. Size unlimited.
Anomaly Required - Check this box if this Finding should be linked to an Anomaly.
Anomaly - Anomaly that this Finding is linked to. This field only appears if Anomaly Required is checked.
Anomaly Trigger - If this Finding was automatically generated by an Anomaly Trigger, that trigger is shown here.
Is Auto Generated - True if this Finding was automatically generated by an Anomaly Trigger.

Report Table Sources¶

To extract Finding data into a report template, use the System Table titled Finding as the primary Table Source, or use the System Tables titled Event or Anomaly and then add fields from the Finding table. For more information see Report Templates.

The Grid¶

By default, the Findings Listing grid displays columns which are common to all Findings. In order, the first two columns in the Findings Listings grid represent:

V = The presence or absence of Video for the event recorded at this date/time.
M = The presence or absence of Multimedia for this event

Right clicking on any of the events in the Findings Listing grid will pop up the Findings menu.

Hint

To bulk update (or delete) events, use the Multi-Edit functionality.

Tip

The Findings Listing grid performs a check whenever the filtered data set is updated, when it detects there are only events of a single event type, the properties of that event noTEPAD ++(the event data) will be displayed as additional columns in the Findings Listing grid.

Findings Listing Toolbar¶

Finding ‣ Finding Review ‣ Mark finding as reviewed

Flags the currently selected finding as Reviewed. The font colour of a reviewed finding is orange, findings which have not been reviewed are shown in the default colour font (black), or blue, which indicates that the underlying event has been reviewed.
Finding ‣ Finding Review ‣ Mark finding as reviewed (with comment)

Flags the currently selected finding as reviewed and prompts the user to enter descriptive text into the Add Signoff dialog. Reviewed findings with comment are identified with a blue callout symbol in Column 3 of the Findings Listing grid.
Finding ‣ Finding Review ‣ Mark Finding as not reviewed

This option will only be enabled on an finding that has already been Reviewed. Choosing this option will unflag the finding as being reviewed.
Finding ‣ Link Anomaly

Launches the Select Anomaly dialog. Choose the required Anomaly record from list and click on OK to close the dialog and link the anomaly to the Finding.
Finding ‣ Unlink Anomaly

Will disassociate the linked anomaly from the currently selected finding. Please note that the previously linked Anomaly will not be deleted, and the Finding will remain unchanged (other than not having a linked Anomaly).
Finding ‣ Launch Anomaly

Where a Finding has been linked to an Anomaly, then the Launch Anomaly menu item will launch the Anomaly dialog, displaying the properties of the Anomaly that the Finding is linked to.
Delete

Delete will delete the currently selected finding record/s. If multiple findings have been selected, then the Question dialog will give notice of how many Findings will be deleted and prompt you to confirm by clicking on the Delete button.
Filter ‣ By Workpack ...

From the Select Workpacks dialog, check which Workpacks to include in the filter.
Filter ‣ By Event Type ...

From the Select Table Definitions dialog, check which Event types to include in the filter.
Child Assets

When in the Down state, findings for the currently selected asset and all sub-assets will be included in the Findings Listing. When in the Up state, only findings that have been recorded on the currently selected asset will appear in the Findings Listing.

Events ‣ Event Reviewed ‣ Mark Event as reviewed

Flags the currently selected event as Reviewed. The font colour of a reviewed event is blue, events which have not been reviewed are shown in the default colour font (black).

Events ‣ Event Reviewed ‣ Mark Event as not reviewed

This option will only be enabled on an event that has already been Reviewed. Choosing this option will unflag the event as being reviewed.
Events ‣ Navigate to the event asset

Will change focus in the Asset Hierarchy to the asset on which this event has been recorded. To change back, click on the back arrow in the Assets toolbar (see Assets Toolbar).

Bookmarks are simply flags on an event. Bookmarked events are identified by a green star symbol in column 3 of the Event Listing grid. The use of bookmarks and the workflow around setting and removing bookmarks will differ for each client.
Events ‣ Match Task
When clicked, the Shortcut will loop through all selected events in the Event Listing. If it finds a matching Task, then the Event is linked to the Task and the Task is deemed completed. The following four criteria must be true for a Task to be matched to an event:
1. Task.Event does not already have an Event assigned to it
2. Task.Asset = Event.Asset
3. Task.Workpack = Event.Workpack
4. Task.Event Type = Event.Event Type
