Family Field Descriptions

ACA Records

The following table provides an alphabetical list and description of the fields that exist in the ACA family. The information in the table reflects the baseline state and behavior of these fields.

This family is enabled for site filtering, which means that records in this family can be assigned to a specific site, and will then only be accessible to users who are assigned to the same site and have the appropriate license and family privileges. For more information, refer to the Site Filtering section of the documentation.

Note: Only members of the MI ACA Administrator Security Group can modify the layout of the ACA datasheet.

Analysis Scope TextA description of the ACA that you want to conduct.None
Analysis Start Date DateThe date on which the ACA will begin.None
Analysis Type CharacterN/ABy default, this field does not appear on the ACA datasheet.
Facilitator CharacterThe name of the team member who is specified as the Facilitator for the ACA.By default, this field does not appear on the ACA datasheet. This field is populated automatically with the name of the ACA team member specified as the Facilitator in the ACA Team Members section.
Imported By CharacterThe user ID of the Security User who created or last updated the analysis from a Microsoft Excel file.This field is disabled and populated automatically when you create an analysis or update the risk values by importing data from an Excel file.
Import Date DateThe date on which the analysis was created or last updated from a Microsoft Excel file.This field is disabled and populated automatically when you create an analysis or update the risk values by importing data from an Excel file.
Import Status CharacterThe status of the import process that was last used to create or update the analysis.

This field is disabled and populated automatically when you create an analysis or update the risk values by importing data from an Excel file.

Tip: For more information, refer to the Data Loaders section of the documentation.

The value will be set to one of the following:

  • Successful
  • Incomplete
  • Failed
  • Skipped

The status is also displayed in the grid on the ACA Import page.

Last Modified By CharacterThe name of the user who last modified the record.This field is disabled and populated automatically with the name of the user who was logged in when the record was last modified.
Last Modified Date DateThe date on which the record was last modified.This field is disabled and populated automatically.
Process Owner CharacterThe name of the Process Owner for the ACA.By default, this field does not appear on the ACA datasheet. It is populated automatically with the name of the ACA team member specified as the Process Owner in the ACA Team Members section. When a user creates a new ACA record, this value defaults to the name of the user who created the record. After a team member has been assigned to the role of Process Owner, this field will be updated automatically with that team member's name.
Visual Attributes TextN/ABy default, this field does not appear on the ACA datasheet.

ACA System Records

The following table provides an alphabetical list and description of the fields that exist in the ACA System family. The information in the table reflects the baseline state and behavior of these fields.

This family is enabled for site filtering, which means that records in this family can be assigned to a specific site, and will then only be accessible to users who are assigned to the same site and have the appropriate license and family privileges. For more information, refer to the Site Filtering section of the documentation.

Modified Date DateThe date on which the record was last modified.This field is disabled and populated automatically. It is not available on the baseline datasheet.
Parent Analysis Key NumberThe Entity Key of the ACA record to which this ACA System record is linked.This field is not available on the baseline datasheet.
Site Description CharacterThe description of the site that is associated with the analysis to which the system belongs.This field is not available on the baseline datasheet.
System Comments TextAdditional comments about the system.You can enter comments manually.
System Description TextA description of the system.None
System Equipment Type CharacterA description of the type of equipment that the system contains.You can select a value from the list.
System ID CharacterA unique identifier for the system.The System ID must be unique with respect to other systems that belong to the same analysis.
System Log TextA log of any errors that occurred when updating criticality indicator values in SAP. This field contains information about the most recent update operation.The contents of this field are rewritten each time that you use the ACA System to update criticality indicator values in SAP. If no errors occur during the update operation, this field will be empty.
System Process Type CharacterThe type of system process.

Criticality Records

Criticality records store assessment data to allow future expanded criticality options and assessment features. This topic provides an alphabetical list and description of the fields that exist for the Criticality family. The information in the table reflects the baseline state and behavior of these fields.

This family is enabled for site filtering, which means that records in this family can be assigned to a specific site, and will then only be accessible to users who are assigned to the same site and have the appropriate license and family privileges. See the Site Filtering section of the documentation for more information on using this feature.

Asset KeyNumericThe Entity Key of the Asset.This is the entity key to the asset.
Basis for AssessmentCharacterA brief summary of the rationale used to assess criticality.Contains the value that you enter in the Basis for Assessment text box.
ValueNumericStores the canonical criticality value for a given asset.The value in this field is used as the basis for computing the Criticality Definition threshold.
