Adding a Prompt Theme for Test Point Subfacilities
The following procedure explains how to add a prompt theme for subfacilities in the Test Point Detail Inspection mini-grid. A prompt theme is a named set of fields that provide information and prompt the user for survey data when performing a periodic or close interval survey using the Allegro Field Computer.
Note: Only public themes for layouts, sorts, and reports are available for selection. If you would like to use a private theme, your company’s system administrator must make your private theme a public one.
A subfacility is a field in the Test Point Detail Inspection mini-grid that links to a parent facility in the Test Point Inspection grid. The prompt theme includes ON/OFF fields for both the subfacility and corresponding parent test point facility. The following criteria must first be met when including subfacilities in prompts sent to the Allegro Field Computer:
• Subfacilities must be set up as Currently Active in the Test Point Detail Information mini-grid. (See CPDM > Data Entry > Edit CPDM Data > Test Point > Information > Test Point Detail Information mini-grid.)
• The parent facility of a subfacility must also be included in prompts sent to the Allegro. Parent facilities include any of the following ON/OFF field pairs: AC P/S and AC IRF; Casing P/S and Casing IRF; Foreign P/S and Foreign IRF; Insulator P/S and Insulator IRF; or Structure P/S and Structure IRF. (See the procedure in this section.)
Note: For information about how to link subfacilities to a parent facility, refer to Linking Multiple Subfacilities to a Parent Test Point Facility.
To add a prompt theme for subfacility fields in the Test Point Detail Inspection mini-grid, follow these steps:
1 Select one or more pipeline segments in the Select ROWs window (Figure 13-35). Click Save to close the window.
Figure 13-35. Select ROWs
2 Click Field Computer > Send to open the Field Computer Send window.
3 Click the Customize tab , then the Prompts button to open the Prompts page (Figure 13-31).
4 Click the Add button to open the New Prompt dialog box (Figure 13-32).
5 Type a name for the prompt theme in the field Enter Theme Name. Fields marked with are required.
6 If you want to create a public theme, click the Public check box to place a check mark inside the check box. When the check box is empty, the prompt theme saves as a private theme.
7 If you want to copy fields from an existing prompt theme, click the Copy Content check box to place a check mark inside the check box. Then click the down arrow in the field Copy Fields From Theme and select a theme in the selection list.
If you do not want to copy fields from an existing prompt theme, remove the check mark inside the Copy Content check box by clicking the check box.
8 Click OK to save changes and return to the Prompts page.
9 Verify the name of the new theme displays in the Select Prompt field. If not, click the down arrow and select the theme in the selection list (Figure 13-36).
10 Click the down arrow in the field Select Facility Type and select Test Point in the selection list.
11 To add information prompts:
a Double-click All Fields in Facility, Information and ROW Fields to view a list of fields available for selection.
b Double-click one or more fields in the selection list to move fields to the right pane. All fields listed in the right pane are included in the prompt theme.
If you want to remove information, inspection, or maintenance prompts, double-click a field listed in the right pane to move it back to the left pane
12 To add prompts for subfacilities and corresponding parent test point facilities:
a Double-click Test Point Detail Inspection Fields in Inspection and Maintenance Fields to view a list of fields available for selection.
b Double-click the fields labeled ON and OFF to move these fields to the right pane (Figure 13-36).
c Double-click Test Point Inspection Fields in Inspection and Maintenance Fields to view a list of fields available for selection.
d For each subfacility you plan to survey, add ON and OFF prompts for the corresponding parent test point facility. Double-click the appropriate ON and OFF field to move these fields to the right pane.
For example, to include ON/OFF prompts for structure pipe-to-soil readings, double-click the fields Structure P/S and Structure IRF. This same method applies to any of the following test point facility field pairs: Casing P/S and Casing IRF; Foreign P/S and Foreign IRF; or Insulator P/S and Insulator IRF.
13 To add maintenance prompts:
a Double-click Test Point Maintenance Fields in Inspection and Maintenance Fields.
b Double-click one or more fields in the selection list to move fields to the right pane.
14 Indicate how many new subfacility records should be created when a new test point facility record is added in the survey file using the Allegro Field Computer. Click the up/down arrow to select a value in the field labeled Test Point Detail Inspection Records. You can also type a value in this field.
Note: The user account of the person adding a new test point facility record on the Allegro Field Computer must be set up in PCS Axis with the option labeled Can Create New Facilities On The Allegro in User Management (Tools > User Management). For more information about setting up a PCS Axis user account, see Setting Up User Management.
15 Prompts display on the Allegro Field Computer according to how you organize the fields listed in the right pane. To change the field order, click and drag a field to a new position in the list. Or, select a field and then click the up or down button.

16 Complete the following steps to add site string prompts that help identify one facility from another when using the Allegro Field Computer. Site string prompts are included with each test point facility and can be viewed in the Site List window on the Allegro Field Computer.
a Click the Site String tab to open the Site String pane (Figure 13-37).
b Double-click All Fields to view a list of fields available for selection. Double-click one or more fields in the selection list to move fields to the right pane. For example, double-click Address and Facility ID.
c If you are using the optional Telluric Compensation feature in PCS Axis and want to identify which pipeline segments require telluric compensation, double-click the field Telluric Compensation Currently Required to move the field to the right pane.
d Click the Site String tab to close the pane.

17 If you want to add another page of prompts, click Copy and then double-click one or more fields as needed in the left pane of Inspection and Maintenance Fields.
Information fields in Facility, Information, and ROW Fields automatically copy to each page of prompts (Figure 13-34).
18 Click Save and Close to save changes and return to the Field Computer Send window.
19 To apply the new prompt theme to the grid in Field Computer Send, click the down arrow in the field Select Prompt and select the theme in the selection list. Then click Apply to update the grid.
Note: Prompts for subfacilities display in the second page of the survey file on the Allegro Field Computer.

If you are using the optional Telluric Compensation feature in PCS Axis, inspection readings for subfacilities received from the Allegro Field Computer display in the Uncompensated On and Uncompensated Off fields of the Test Point Detail Inspection mini-grid. For more information, refer to the section entitled Viewing Test Point Inspections Eligible for Compensation.
