A checkpoint represented by a Measurement Location with the Sequence value 1 will appear before a checkpoint represented by a Measurement Location with the Sequence value 2. On the Measurement Location datasheet, the Sequence field is disabled and populated automatically by the GE Digital APM system, based upon the current location of that Measurement Location node in the left pane.
You can use the left pane to sequence the Measurement Location nodes according to the order in which you want the checkpoints to appear to a user on the mobile device. We recommend that you sequence the Route by arranging Measurement Location nodes in an order that corresponds to the proximity of the associated equipment and locations. For example, suppose you want to perform a visual inspection of a pump. You will want to create Measurement Locations that represent each checkpoint on the pump that you will need to visually inspect. Further, you will want to arrange the Measurement Location nodes in the order in which the user should conduct the visual inspection. For example, you may want the user to start at the back of the pump and move towards the front.
Measurement Locations are sequenced automatically starting with 1, based upon the record to which they are linked as a successor. In other words, all the Measurement Locations that are linked directly to the Route as successors will be numbered 1, 2, 3, and 4 and all the Measurement Locations that are linked to Checkpoint Conditions will be numbered as 1, 2, 3, and 4 within that condition.
Consider the following image, which shows:
- Four Measurement Location nodes that are positioned directly below the Route node. These route-level checkpoints are numbered 1 through 4.
- Two Checkpoint Condition nodes that are positioned directly below the Measurement Location node (ACHE 001~General Check). These Checkpoint Condition nodes are numbered 2.1 and 2.2.
-
Four Measurement Location nodes that are positioned directly below two Checkpoint Conditions.
The Measurement Location nodes under 2.1 If General Check is Ok then: are numbered 2.1.1 and 2.1.2. The Measurement Location nodes under 2.2 If General Check is Not Ok then: are numbered 2.2.1 and 2.2.2.
