Default Configuration Content
The Default Configuration comes with the following elements:
Asset Information Groups (AIGs)
AIG Name |
Category |
Description |
---|---|---|
Availability / Operability Status |
General Data |
Captures and stores availability statistics from facility to component to track and report on availability across the asset pool. Find more information below the table. |
MAXIMO |

Standard Maximo Asset Identification attributes |
Risk Assessment Sign off / Actions |
Approvals |
Sign-off or approvals for risk assessments with an action register and re-assessment scheduling information. Facilitates the approval and sign-off process for digitally stored risk assessments. Captures actions associated with the risk assessments the risk result on approval to profile risk over the life of the facility. Find more information below the table. |
Availability / Operability Status
Tracks availability and operability of any asset in the hierarchy. Information stored in this AIG is used to visualise historical and current status of the assets. Uptime statistics are calculated for the asset life, the past year and past 5 years on a rolling basis.
Risk Assessment Sign off / Actions
This AIG comprises two main parts:
Risk Review History
The agreed assessment approval process is configured in the Base ExSys Configuration global table. The Risk Assessment Sign-off functionality works on either a two-step or three-step approval process:
The two-step approval process requires a Prepared and Approved record.
The three-step process requires a Prepared, Accepted and Approved record.
A risk assessment revision cycle is fully approved when:
The relevant Review History records have been created (according to the agreed approval process)
The Completed field of each of the revision history records is set to Yes.
The Revision number of each of the records in this revision cycle match. Where the highest revision number represents the latest revision cycle.
Deferrals are treated in the same way as prepared risk assessments. The agreed deferral process can be different from the approval process. For example, you can have a two-step approval process for risk assessments, but a three-step process for deferrals. This Risk Assessment Sign Off / Actions AIG functionality requires client-specific setup. Risk-Based Inspection (RBI) re-assessment dates are calculated based on either the latest approved deferral date, a prescriptive interval or the time since the latest inspection. The risk review re-assessments are forecast and can be visualised in pre-configured charts, reports and dashboards.
Risk Assessment Review Actions
Any action associated with a risk assessment are captured here and can be forecast and visualised in pre-configured charts, reports and dashboards.
Functions
There are some generic, commonly used functions available in the Default Configuration database.
Not all functions contained in the Default Configuration are described here. The following, commonly used generic functions can be used in any databases that inherit from this Default Configuration:

Date (MM-DD) as String |
Takes a <Date> type input and returns MM-DD with alphanumeric type. |
Formatting |
Date (YYYY) as String |
Takes a <Date> type input and returns YYYY with alphanumeric type. |
Formatting |
Date (YYYY) as String |

Formatting |
Date (YYYY-MM) as String |
Takes a <Date> type input and returns YYYY-MM with alphanumeric Type |
Formatting |
Pad Leading Zeroes |
Takes the <Integer> number to pad and the <Total Length (1..10)> of the whole number. For example, input Integer 355 padded to 6 will output “000355”. |
Miscellaneous |
Current user name |
Returns the name of the user that is logged into this session. No inputs required. |
Miscellaneous |
Is Current User? |
Takes the <SU_ID> or <Personnel.Name> and determines if the input SU_ID or Personnel.Name matches the currently logged in user. Returns “Yes” or “No”. |
Miscellaneous |

If the input Asset <Component_ID> has a Risk Assessment assigned to it, then it returns “Yes”, else it returns “No”. |
Miscellaneous |
Is AIG Assigned to this Asset Type? |
Returns “Yes” if the <AIG Name> is assigned to the <Asset Type Name>, else it returns “No”. |

Example
Client-Specific Lists
Wood delivers “out-of-the-box” configuration for the global tables and lookup lists listed below. These tables and lookup lists are delivered without data. To ensure that the system works effectively, customers must populate them with their own company-specific data upon deployment. Wood can provide sensible default data if required.

Lookup List |
Risk Assessment Engineer |
To be populated with a list of engineers who might be responsible for preparing, accepting or approving risk assessments, or engineers who can create or be assigned risk assessment actions. When the engineer name matches a user name in the database, then these records are visualised in My Dashboard for that logged in user. |
Lookup List |
Availability / Operability Status |
A list of operability statuses. It is used in conjunction with the global lookup table to calculate and visualise asset or component availability. For example, Available; Available with concerns; Unavailable; Maintenance PM; Decommissioned. |
