About the Risk Based Inspection (RBI) 581 Data Loader Workbook Layout and Use

To import data using the Risk Based Inspection (RBI) 581 Data Loader, GE Digital APM provides an Excel workbook, RBI_581_Data_Loader.xlsx, which supports baseline Risk Based Inspection in GE Digital APM. This workbook must be used to perform the data load. You can modify the Excel workbook to include custom fields used by your organization.

Note: The Excel workbook is referred to throughout this documentation as the data loader workbook.

The following table lists the worksheets that are included in the data loader workbook.

These records will be linked to an RBI 581 Risk Analysis. You can specify these DMs only if the component type is not Tank Bottom (i.e., the value in the Component Family column in the RBI_Component worksheet is not MI_CCRBICTB).

(Picklist)

This worksheet contains a list of valid values that you can enter in each column (as applicable) in the aforementioned worksheets. When you load data using the data loader, the data on this worksheet is not loaded.

The values in the some of the columns are filtered based on the values in other fields. For example, the values in the following columns are filtered based on the values in the Stress Lookup Table column:

  • BM Code
  • BM Year
  • BM Spec
  • BM Grade

Also, if you select a value in the BM Code column, the values in the BM Year, BM Spec, and BM Grade columns are filtered accordingly.

IMPORTANT: The Risk Based Inspection (RBI) 581 Data Loader overrides the default values specified in the RBI 581 Admin Options workspace.

Color Coding

Certain columns on the worksheets have different functions and requirements. To illustrate this, certain columns are color-coded. The following table lists the colors and what they represent.
