About Checklist Configuration Templates
Checklist Configuration Templates allow you to define a collection of checklist categories and the items that they contain to create Checklist Templates. Users can create Inspection Events using the Checklist Templates, and the Checklist Finding records are generated based on the selected template.
Using Checklist Configuration Templates
Checklist Configuration Templates should contain checklist categories and items that will result in detailed Checklist Templates that can be used to create Inspection Events. In the Checklist Configuration Templates section, you can create Checklist Configuration Templates that contain multiple checklist categories and items that are defined based on system code tables. You can modify the available checklist categories and items using the MI CHECKLIST CATEGORIES system code table. When you add a category to a Checklist Configuration Template, you can choose which items appear in the checklist. You can continue adding checklist categories and items to your Checklist Configuration Template until you have created a Checklist Template that will be useful for the intended asset. Creating a Checklist Configuration Template with checklist categories and items that correspond closely to existing assets streamlines inspections by including relevant Checklist Finding items in a user-created Inspection Event.
Checklist Configuration Templates and Taxonomy Configuration
The Checklist Configuration Templates that you create can be linked to a Taxonomy Configuration. When a Checklist Configuration Template has been linked to a Taxonomy Configuration, the Checklist Template appears as an option when users create Inspection Events for an asset whose equipment taxonomy matches the Taxonomy Configuration. The Checklist Configuration Template will also appear by default if the equipment taxonomy of the asset does not match an existing Taxonomy Configuration.
Checklist Configuration Templates and Asset Mapping
Asset Mapping allows the Checklist Template categories to be associated with the existing Assets. When creating or editing a Checklist Configuration Template, the Enable Asset Mapping option is available in the Template Name window. If you select this option when creating an Inspection Event using the Checklist Configuration Template, an Asset Mapping section appears, allowing you to map the Assets to the checklist categories.
Example: Fire Tube Boiler
A Checklist Configuration Template named Fire Tube Boilers Inspection Checklist contains the Tubes Waterside checklist category. The Tubes Waterside checklist category contains two items: Borescope Inspection and Corrosion.
When a user creates an Inspection Event, a Checklist Template named Fire Tube Boilers Inspection Checklist appears in the Inspection Event list. If the user creates an Inspection Event using the Fire Tube Boilers Inspection Checklist Checklist Template, the Checklist Finding record displays the Tubes Waterside checklist category with Borescope Inspection and Corrosion listed as Checklist Finding items.
Example: Fire Tube Boiler linked to a Taxonomy Configuration
The Fire Tube Boilers Inspection Checklist is linked to the following Taxonomy Configuration:
- Taxonomy Category: Fixed
- Taxonomy Class: Boiler
- Taxonomy Type: Misc Boiler
When a user creates an Inspection Event for an asset that shares that Taxonomy Configuration, Fire Tube Boilers Inspection Checklist appears in the list of available Checklist Templates for that asset.

Configure Recommendation Status to State Mapping
About This Task
For example, the following Inspection Recommendation records use the Status field.
Recommendation ID | Asset ID | Functional Location ID | Recommendation Headline | Status |
---|---|---|---|---|
REC-21 | HE-1608 CRUDE-HVY. ATMOS. GAS OIL | 016-E-E3104A CRUDE-HVY. ATMOS. GAS OIL | Shell Corrosion | Created |
Rec-2005 | HE-1608 CRUDE-HVY. ATMOS. GAS OIL | C-488 LUBE/SEAL OIL COOLER ~ HXST 105 | General Corrosion | Pending Review |
Rec-244 | HE-1608 CRUDE-HVY. ATMOS. GAS OIL | C-488 LUBE/SEAL OIL COOLER ~ HXST 105 | General Distortion | Pending Review |
Source Family | Status | State |
---|---|---|
Inspection Recommendation | Created | Proposed |
Inspection Recommendation | Pending Review | Pending Approval |
Recommendation ID | Asset ID | Functional Location ID | Recommendation Headline | State |
---|---|---|---|---|
REC-21 | HE-1608 CRUDE-HVY. ATMOS. GAS OIL | 016-E-E3104A CRUDE-HVY. ATMOS. GAS OIL | Shell Corrosion | Proposed |
Rec-2005 | HE-1608 CRUDE-HVY. ATMOS. GAS OIL | C-488 LUBE/SEAL OIL COOLER ~ HXST 105 | General Corrosion | Pending Approval |
Rec-244 | HE-1608 CRUDE-HVY. ATMOS. GAS OIL | C-488 LUBE/SEAL OIL COOLER ~ HXST 105 | General Distortion | Pending Approval |
Currently, APM only allows mapping of Status to States. After you update the Inspection Recommendation records using this feature, you can switch back to Status by clearing the Use State Management for Inspection Recommendation check box. However, the existing Inspection Recommendation records cannot be reverted to Status. To align Inspection Recommendations with other performance recommendations, we recommend using State Management to manage Inspection Recommendations.
Before You Begin
- Make sure that the State Functionality is enabled in the State Configuration section of the Inspection Recommendation Family Management.
- Make sure that the Inspection Admin role or the Super User role is assigned to you.
