Defining an asset inspection index

  1. Select Asset Management > Assets > [Asst Module].
  2. On the correct asset type tab, under Configuration, click Inspection Indexes.
  3. Click Add above the grid.
  4. Specify this information:
    Inspection Index
    Specify a name for the index.
    Index Description
    Specify a description of the index.
    Index Formula
    Specify a formula to calculate the index rating.
    Curve Formula
    Specify a formula that will be used to determine which deterioration curve to use for the index.
  5. If you want to define a normal range for the index results, specify the lowest normal range in the Low Range field and the highest normal range in the High Range field.
  6. Select the Show on Life History check box to show this index on the Life History tab of the asset InfoViewer; select the Show on Inspections check box to show this index in the Indexes grid on the Inspection InfoViewer.
    Not all inspection indexes will be relevant to the end user, so you can choose which ones you want to show. For example, you might define intermediate indexes that are used to calculate other indexes. Because intermediate indexes are not of interest to the end user, show only the final indexes.
  7. Click Save.
    The index is added to your records and displayed in the grid. To direct Infor Public Sector to calculate this index during an inspection of the current asset type, you must associate the index with an inspection type using the Inspection Types form. When creating a level of service (LOS) project, you must associate LOS indexes for the asset groups in the project, which will be the same as the indexes used for the assets' existing inspections.
    Note: You can change the order of the indexes by reordering the records in the grid. The order determines the order in which indexes are calculated during an inspection.
