Creating a Schedule Based on Last Survey
If you want to schedule facilities for survey based on the last time facilities were inspected, create a schedule based on the Last Survey scheduling method. With this method, facilities due for inspection are scheduled for survey based on Last Inspection Date and settings for the scheduling property Time Between Surveys.
To create a schedule based on the Last Survey scheduling method, follow these steps:
1 Select a pipeline segment in the
Select ROWs window. Then click
Save to close the window.
2 Click Data Entry > Edit Schedule Settings > Time Between Survey Settings tab.
3 Set up all related scheduling properties for a survey selected in
Time Between Surveys. Scheduling properties marked with
N/A (not applicable) are not required, such as
Target Year for a survey with
Time Between Surveys of 12 months or less. If needed, refer to
Table 9-1 for field descriptions.
Note: Scheduling properties set up in Time Between Surveys apply system wide. Settings can however be overridden at the facility type level in ROW and Facility Settings; at the hierarchy level in Hierarchy Level Overrides; and at the facility level in the Facility Level Override mini-grid of the Information grid.
4 To select the Last Survey due date method:
a Click the Schedule Type Settings tab.
b Select one or more facility types in the Facility Types pane using either an installed facility type theme or an Ad Hoc Theme.
c For a scheduling type listed in Scheduling Type Name, click the field Due Date Calculation Method to display a drop down arrow. Click the arrow and select Last Survey in the selection list.
d Set up remaining scheduling properties as required. Scheduling properties inherit values from those in the
Time Between Survey Settings tab and can be overridden at the facility type level as needed. Property settings marked
N/A (not applicable) are not required. Refer to
Table 9-2 for field descriptions.
5 If you want to override one or more scheduling properties at the ROW level, complete the following steps:
a Click the Hierarchy Level Overrides tab.
b Select one or more facility types in the Facility Types pane using either an installed facility type theme or an Ad Hoc Theme.
c Select the ROW(s) you want to set up a survey schedule. Select one or more ROWs (pipeline segments) listed in the middle pane of the window.
d For a scheduling type listed in
Scheduling Type Name, set up scheduling properties as required. Scheduling properties inherit values from those in the
Schedule Type Settings tab and can be overridden at the ROW level as needed. Refer to
Table 9-3 for field descriptions.
The schedule is now set up with the Last Survey scheduling method.
