Defining an asset inspection type

Note: After creating a new inspection type, you must assign permissions to the inspection type in Access Control.
  1. Select Asset Management > Assets > [Asset Module].
  2. On the correct asset type tab, under Configuration, click Inspection Types.
  3. In the Inspection Types tree, click the root Inspection Types node.
    A grid is displayed on the right listing all the inspection types that have been defined for the current asset type.
  4. Click Add above the grid.
  5. Specify this information:
    Inspection Type
    Specify a name for the inspection type.
    Note: The name must be unique within the inspection types for the asset type, but it can be reused with other asset types. Also note that the name is case-sensitive.
    Standard
    For sewer main inspection types only, you can optionally select a standard inspection type to use as a template.

    See Standard inspection types.

    Observations
    Select one of these options:
    • Full Length: All observations for this inspection type are recorded for the entire inspection length. The inspection length is the portion of an asset being inspected.
    • Measured: Location fields are displayed when you add observations, so you can record observations for a measured portion of the inspection length.
    • None: The inspection type does not use observations.
    • Sample Unit: A sample unit represents a selected portion of the asset, such as a ten foot square section of roadway pavement where the pattern of cracking is judged to be typical of the whole roadway. You can define one or more sample units.
    Use Components
    Select this check box if you want to conduct inspections on individual parts of an asset.
    Show in Portal
    Select this check box if you want inspections of this type to be shown in Infor Rhythm for Civics.

    Rhythm for Civics is a cloud-based web portal for Infor Public Sector. If the Show in Portal check box is selected, customers will be able to see associated inspections in the service request viewer in the portal.

    You can select the Is Public check box to show inspections to members of the public as well as customers. You can also use the Portal Description field to specify an alternative description of the inspection type. The alternate desscription can help portal users more easily understand what the inspection type is for.

    Note: You can enter up to 300 characters in the Portal Description field in Infor Public Sector, but the portal only shows the first 30 characters.

    See the Infor Rhythm for Civics User and Administration Library.
