About the Work Pack Hierarchy

You might have a location hierarchy that looks like the following diagram, where process locations belong to systems, systems belong to units, and so on.

Regardless of how many levels you create in a Work Pack hierarchy, you should link Inspection Tasks and Inspections directly to the Work Pack that represents the asset that will be inspected. In other words, in the first example, you would link Inspection Tasks and Inspections directly to the equipment-level Work Packs (not the location-level Work Packs). In the second example, you would link Inspection Tasks and Inspections directly to the process-location-level Work Packs (not the system-level or unit-level Work Packs).

If you are inspecting equipment, the lowest level of the hierarchy should contain Work Packs representing the equipment. If you want to include three levels in the Work Pack hierarchy, the top two levels should represent the locations to which the equipment belong. For example, if your location hierarchy looks like the previous example, you would want to structure the Work Pack hierarchy as seen in the following diagram:

In your inspection locations, the lowest level of the hierarchy should contain Work Packs representing those locations. If you want to include three levels in the Work Pack hierarchy, the top two levels should represent the higher-level locations to which those locations belong. For example, if your location hierarchy looks like the diagram in the Work Pack Hierarchy section, you would want to structure the Work Pack hierarchy as seen in the following diagram:
