Add/Edit Anomaly Dialog

See below for the description of fields in the Add Anomaly/Edit Anomaly dialogs.

In the Add Anomaly dialog, only the Anomaly tab is visible, the other tabs get displayed once you have saved a new anomaly and start editing it.

Anomaly tab:

Field/Checkbox Name

Description

Asset

The name of the asset that the anomaly is attached to. This is a required field.

Name

A name that uniquely identifies the anomaly. Note that the name cannot exceed 50 characters.

Description

A 100-character field that provides more descriptive information of the anomaly.

Code

A code that identifies the type of anomaly. Anomaly codes are customizable by users and can be configured as explained in Configure Anomalies. Typical examples of anomaly codes are “CD”, “PD” or “VIB” (Coating Damage, Physical Damage or Vibration).

Severity

You can choose from a list of pre-defined severity levels. These severity levels are customizable by users and can be configured as explained in Configure Anomalies. Examples of severity levels include:

“Level 1 - Contributor”

“Level 2 - Degraded”

“Level 3 - Damaged”

“Level 4 - Danger”

“Level 5 - Extreme Danger”

Anomaly severities can also be assigned to anomaly triggers and will be pre-populated from the initial automatically generated finding, through the anomaly that the finding is linked to.

Anomaly Number

A numerical property that can be used to store a number against the anomaly. This number is not automatically populated.

Reference Number

A 200-character limit field that can be used to reference or cross-reference anomalies.

Date Created

The initial creation date for the anomaly, which defaults to today but is editable afterward.

Created By

The name of the person creating the anomaly record. This defaults to the currently logged-in user, but is editable afterward.

Anomaly Set

The value of this field can be used as an alternative option for grouping anomalies. Anomaly sets are customizable by users and can be configured as explained in Configure Anomalies. Typical examples of anomaly sets include “Topside” and “Subsea”.

Assigned To

The name of the person to which the anomaly record is assigned.

Comments

A large free-text field designed to capture additional information about the anomaly, which may not be adequately represented in the anomaly’s properties.

Priority

You can choose from a list of pre-defined priorities. These priorities are customizable by users and can be configured as explained in Configure Anomalies. Examples of priorities may include “Very High”, “High”, “Medium”, “Low” or “Very Low”.

Status

You can choose from a list of pre-defined statuses. These statuses are customizable by users and can be configured as explained in Configure Anomalies.

Risk Score

This is a calculated field, the function assigned to this field is named “System - Anomaly - Risk Score” and must be configured (see Set Up Anomaly Risk Matrix). Different fields, such as “Severity” and “Priority”, of the anomaly can be used as the input parameters for the function.

Closed Out

Indicates whether the anomaly is open or closed. Closed anomalies are normally excluded from anomaly statistical reporting. If you use this checkbox to close an anomaly, no anomaly action will be created for the close-out of the anomaly. We recommend that you close an anomaly as described in Close Anomalies.

Attributes tab:

This tab is visible only if the Anomaly system table has been extended with additional fields in your configuration. You can fill those custom fields on this tab. For more information, see Configure Attributes.

Findings tab:

On the Findings tab, you can see the findings linked to the anomaly being edited. This corresponds to the finding records that are shown on the Findings tab of the ANOMALIES screen when you select the same anomaly in the anomaly list above. Note that on this tab, however, you cannot see the source event information that you see on the Findings tab of the ANOMALIES screen. The columns that you see on this tab mostly correspond to those on the Findings Listing tab of the INSPECTION screen (see Findings Listing).

Actions tab:

On the Actions tab, you can see the anomaly action items linked to the anomaly being edited. This corresponds to the anomaly action items that are shown on the Actions tab of the ANOMALIES screen when you select the same anomaly in the anomaly list above.

Library tab:

On the Library tab, you can see the library items linked to the anomaly being edited. This is similar to the Library tab of the ANOMALIES screen when you select the same anomaly in the anomaly list above, however, in this specific dialog, you cannot see the library items that are linked to the anomaly’s asset, but only the library items that are directly attached to the anomaly. If you want to see the library items attached to the relevant asset, check the Library tab of the ANOMALIES screen.

History tab:

See Checking History.
