Inspection Strategy

Inspection Strategies represent methods by which inspections are performed. The following table provides an alphabetical list and description of the fields that exist in the Inspection Strategy family. By default, all fields in the Inspection Strategy family appear on the Inspection Strategy datasheet.

This family is not enabled for site filtering, which means that records in this family can be accessed by any user with the appropriate license and family privileges. See the Site Filtering section of the documentation for more information.

Field Data Type Description Behavior and Usage

Inspection Confidence

Character

A value that indicates how effective prior inspections were at identifying the degradation mechanism and the rate of degradation.

This field is populated automatically based on the value that you selected in the Type of Inspection field, the value that you selected in the Extent field, and the values that exist in the Inspection Confidence field in Inspection Strategy records.

Specifically, the Inspection Confidence field is populated with the value that exists in the Inspection Confidence field in the Inspection Strategy record whose:

  • Inspection Task Type field contains the value that you selected in the Type of Inspection field.

  • Inspection Extent field contains the value that you selected in the Extent field.

This field is not available on the baseline Inspection datasheets.

The value that you select in this field is used in RBI when you assign Inspection records to RBI Degradation Mechanism Evaluation records.

Inspection Extent

Character

The extent to which the inspection was performed.

This field displays a list of values based upon the value that you selected in the Type of Inspection field and the values that exist in the Inspection Extent field in Inspection Strategy records.

The Extent field displays a list of values that exist in the Inspection Extent field in all Inspection Strategy records whose Inspection Task Type field contains the value that you selected in the Type of Inspection field.

Inspection Strategy Description Character A description of the Inspection Strategy. You can specify a value for this field using the datasheet.
Inspection Strategy ID Character The unique ID of the Inspection Strategy. This field is required.
Inspection Task Type Character The Inspection Method used during the inspection event. You can specify a value for this field using the datasheet.
Recommended Inspection Interval Numeric The recommended time between inspection events. You can specify a value for this field using the datasheet.
Recommended Inspection Scope Character An explanation of the tasks that should be performed during an inspection event. You can specify a value for this field using the datasheet.
Use Calculated Data Boolean Indicates whether or not to use calculated data over data that has been recommended by the GE Digital APM system. N/A
