About Inspection Scope

An Inspection Scope consists of the following items:

• An Equipment record, which defines the equipment that should be inspected.
• An Inspection Task, which provides details about the inspection event that should be performed, including information such as the desired inspection date and any minimum or maximum date ranges for the inspection event. The Inspection Task is linked to the Equipment.
• One or more Inspection Profiles, which define the subcomponents that should be inspected.
• One or more Inspection Methods, which define the methods that should be used to inspect the individual subcomponents.

To define an Inspection Scope, you will need to create an Inspection Task or find an existing Inspection Task to link to the Inspection Profile.

Note: You do not need to define an Inspection Scope if you plan to create records only in the Inspection families whose captions contain the word Checklist. The process for recording subcomponent findings for these families does not rely on Inspection Profiles or Inspection Methods.

Each Inspection Scope consists of an Equipment record, an Inspection Task, one or more Inspection Profiles, and one or more Inspection Methods.

When you create an Inspection that is linked to an Equipment Record, the GE Digital APM system generates General Findings automatically. The number of findings that are created automatically is based on the Inspection Profiles and Inspection Methods included in the Inspection Scope.

Note: If you plan to only create records in the Inspection families whose captions contain the word Checklist, you do not need to define an Inspection Scope. The process for recording subcomponent findings for these families does not rely on Inspection Profiles or Inspection Methods.
